Law of multiple proportions

Law of multiple proportions states that if two elements form more than one compound, then the ratios of the masses of the second element which combine with a fixed mass of the first element will always be ratios of small whole numbers. This law is sometimes called Dalton’s Law, named after John Dalton, the chemist who first expressed it. 2.66 g chloride […]

From 200 mg of CO2, 10^21 molecules are removed. How many moles of CO2 are left?

Given mass of CO2 = 200 mg = 0.2 g   Molar mass of CO2 = 44 g/mol   Number of moles of 200 mg CO2 = Given mass/Molar mass of CO2 = 0.2 g/44 g mol-1 = 0.00454 mole   Number of molecules of CO2 removed = 1021   Number of moles of CO2 removed = 1021/(6.022*1023) =

Why KMnO4 act as a good oxidizing agent in acidic medium?

In KMnO4, oxidation state of Mn is +7. As the oxidation state of atom increases, the element become more electronegative in nature. Mn gain 5 electron in acidic medium and reduces to +2 oxidation state.   Gain of 5 electron shows that the electronegativity of Mn has increased. Therefore, KMnO4 is a good oxidizing agent.   Note:

What is the correct order of bond angle for O-P-X in the given molecules?

  Solution: Bond angle is inversely proportional to electronegativity of substituents.   i.e., Electronegativity of side atom increase then the bond angle (X-P-X) decreases.   So, X-P-X or F-P-F bond angle is least in POF3. That’s why the O-P-F is maximum.     Hence, the correct order of bond angle for O-P-X in the given molecules
