Answer is: an oxybromate compound is KBrO₄ (x = 4).

ω(Br) = 43.66% ÷ 100%.

ω(Br) = 0.4366; mass percentage of bromine.

If we take 100 grams of compound:

m(Br) = ω(Br) · 100 g.

m(Br) = 0.4366 · 100 g.

m(Br) = 43.66 g; mass of bromine.

n(Br) = m(Br) ÷ M(Br).

n(Br) = 43.66 g ÷ 79.9 g/mol,

n(Br) = 0.55 mol; amoun of bromine.

From chemical formula (KBrOₓ), amount of potassium is equal to amount of bromine: n(Br) = n(K).

m(K) = 0.55 mol · 39.1 g/mol.

m(K) = 21.365 g; mass of potassium in the compound.

m(O) = 100 g - 21.365 g - 43.66 g.

m(O) =34.97 g; mass of oxygen.

n(O) = 34.97 g ÷ 16 g/mol.

n(O) = 2.185 mol.

n(K) : n(Br) : n(O) = 0.55 mol : 0.55 mol : 2.185 mol /÷ 0.55 mol.

n(K) : n(Br) : n(O) = 1 : 1 : 4.

Answer:

The chemical equilibrium of the system will be unaffected. The chemical equilibrium of the system will shift to the right to favor the forward reaction. The chemical equilibrium of the system will shift to the left to favor the reverse reaction. (I hope this helped!!)

Decide which element probably forms a compound with chlorine that has a chemical formula most and least similar to the chemical

stepladder [879]

The compound formed by chlorine and barium is $BaCl_2$ as the number of valence electrons in barium is 2 and in chlorine is 1. In this compound, barium acts as a cation and chlorine acts as an anion. The formation of the compound is as shown in the image.

Since, barium is an element of Group-2 (alkaline earth metal) so the other element that has a chemical formula most and least similar to the chemical formula of the compound formed by chlorine and barium should be from Group-2 (alkaline earth metal) only which has properties somewhat like barium. So, the element is strontium.

Strontium forms a compound with formula $SrCl_2$ in which strontium acts as a cation and chlorine acts as an anion. The formation of the compound is as shown in the image.
