The empirical formula of this compound is Fe_2O_3

<h3>Empirical formula </h3>

To calculate the empirical formula of a compound, the value of moles of each element is needed.

As we have the information of the mass value, we will use the molar mass expression, which corresponds to:

MM_O = 16g/mol\\MM_Fe = 55.8g/mol

                                              MM = \frac{m}{mol}

  • O

                                                   16 = \frac{4.8}{x}

                                                   x = 0.3mol

  • Fe

                                                    55.8=\frac{11.2}{x}\\x = 0.2

As the value of the empirical formula must be an integer, simply multiply the two values ​​by a common factor:

                                                O = 0.3 \times 10 = 3\\Fe = 0.2 \times 10 = 2

                                                       Fe_2O_3

So, the empirical formula of this compound is Fe_2O_3.

Mg2OH has how many unique elements?<br> A. <br> 4<br> B. <br> 2<br> C. <br> 3<br> D. <br> 5
frutty [35]

Answer:

Magnesium hydroxide has 3 unique elements.

Explanation:

Long story short, 2 is the balancing compound in structure to make up hydroxide, therefore 1 compound would be left to create Mg(2O)H.

(This is only an opinion of mathematical science to me, I don't have complete understanding of this subject either, good luck.)

Which would be the best to neutralize a large acid spill in your school lab: sodium hydroxide or baking soda? Explain.
nadya68 [22]

Consider the acid spill. It is already starting to do nasty things to, say, the floor or counter. So you grab the bottle of 10% NaOH and pour some on the spill. All of a sudden, you get a great deal of heat, and you don't have any visual evidence whether your put on too little or too much. But you have added more liquid to the spill, generated more heat, and will get more damage. You have made a bigger mess, and if you added too much, you then have a neutralization problem to deal with.  

And if it is something like a strong sulfuric acid solution, adding sodium hydroxide solution will be extremely exothermic, and you could get some really nasty results.  

So now approach the spill with a handful of baking soda. You sprinkle it on the spill. It fizzes, and carbon dioxide is given off. That actually, in a very tiny way, moderates the temperature of the neutralization. And you can keep adding baking soda until the fizzing stops, and then perhaps some water to mix everything well. But what you have done is kept the volume to a minimum, added a neutralization agent that has a visible endpoint (no more gas being given off), and you don't suddenly have a huge amount of highly basic solution because you added too much.  

And what is also nice about baking soda is that you can toss some with your hand or even with a spoon, and get some distance from the spill. With a liquid, you have to get much closer

i hope this helped..
