A student has samples of two pure compounds, XClO3 and ZClO3, which contain unknown alkali metals X and Z. The student measures

the mass of each sample and then strongly heats the samples to drive off all the oxygen, leaving solid residues of XCl and ZCl. The student measures the mass of the solid residue from each sample. Which of the following questions can be answered from the results of the experiment?
A. Which has the greater molar mass, X or Z?

B. Which has the higher boiling point, X or Z?

C. Which has the higher melting point, XCl or ZCl?

D. Which has the greater density, XCl or ZCl?

Answer:

  • A. Which element, X or Z, has a higher molar mass?

Explanation:

Heating the original compounds intensely to remove all oxygen causes chemical decomposition reactions:

  • 2XClO₃ (solid) → 2XCl + 3O₂ (gas)
  • 2ZClO₃ (solid) → 2ZCl + 3O₂ (gas)

By measuring the initial mass of each sample and the mass remaining after heating, the student can compute the oxygen gas mass released:

  • Mass of oxygen released = initial sample mass minus residue mass

Using this oxygen mass, she can calculate how many moles of oxygen were present in each sample:

  • Moles of oxygen = oxygen mass (g) divided by molar mass of oxygen

Next, the moles of the original sample are determined:

  • Each mole of XClO₃ or ZClO₃ has 3 moles of oxygen atoms.

So, dividing the moles of oxygen released by 3 gives the moles of the sample.

Applying the formula molar mass = mass / moles, the student finds the molar masses of XClO₃ and ZClO₃.

Thus, this data allows answering question A: Which of X or Z has the higher molar mass?

castortr0y [3046]
The balloon's volume is 128 ml when the gas temperature rises to 320.0 K. Explanation: Given the following: T1 (initial temperature) = 300K, V1 (initial volume) = 120ml, T2 (final temperature) = 320 K, V2 (final volume) =?. Pressure is kept constant during this process. From the equation: Given that the pressure stays constant, we have: V2 = Putting the values into this formula yields: V2 = 128 ml, which indicates the volume of the gas when the temperature increases from 300 K to 320 K.

"Enter your answer in the provided box. A person's blood alcohol (C2H5OH) level can be determined by titrating a sample of blood
Tems11 [2777]

Answer:

0.1714 (w/w) %

Explanation:

Utilizando la ecuación:

16H+(aq) + 2Cr2O72−(aq) + C2H5OH(aq) → 4Cr3+(aq) + 2CO2(g) + 11H2O(l)

Se emplean 2 moles de ion dicromato (Cr₂O₇²⁻) para titular 1 mol de alcohol (C₂H₅OH)

35.46mL = 0.03546L de una solución de Cr₂O₇²⁻ a 0.05961M utilizada para alcanzar el punto de equivalencia en la titulación contiene:

0.03546L ₓ (0.05961 moles Cr₂O₇²⁻ / L) = 2.114x10⁻³ moles Cr₂O₇²⁻

Dado que 2 moles de dicromato reaccionan por cada mol de alcohol, los moles de alcohol en la muestra de plasma son:

2.114x10⁻³ moles Cr₂O₇²⁻ ₓ ( 1 mol C₂H₅OH / 2 moles Cr₂O₇²⁻) = 1.0569x10⁻³ moles de C₂H₅OH

Como la masa molar del alcohol es 46.07g/mol, la masa de alcohol es:

1.0569x10⁻³ moles de C₂H₅OH ₓ (46.07g / mol) = 0.04869g de C₂H₅OH

Por lo tanto, el porcentaje en masa de alcohol en sangre utilizando los 28.40g de plasma es:

(0.04869g de C₂H₅OH / 28.40g) × 100 = 0.1714 (w/w) %

The reaction of benzene with (CH3)3CCH2Cl in the presence of anhydrous aluminum chloride produces principally which of these?
VMariaS [2998]
Refer to the explanation and the attached image for further details. When AlCl3 reacts with (CH3)3CCH2Cl, a primary carbocation is produced. This primary carbocation then undergoes a 1,2-alkyl shift leading to the formation of a tertiary carbocation, which subsequently bonds with the benzene ring as depicted in the attached image.
