An element forms an oxide, E₂O₃, and a fluoride, EF₃.(a) Of which two groups might E be a member?

Chemistry

Fittoniya [83]1 year ago

a) The E might belong to group 13.

As the formula of a chemical compound is derived by the cross multiplication of the valency of the atoms. As formula of the given oxide is  and valency of O atom is -2, therefore valency of element E must be +3 in order to obtain E2O3.

Also, in EF3, the valency of E will be +3 because there are three atoms of fluorine who has an individual valency of -1. Thus, e will have the valency of +3.

The Group 13 is the boron group which has the following elements:

  • Boron
  • Aluminium
  • Gallium
  • Indium
  • Thallium

All these elements have the valency of +3.

A molecular compound is found to consist of30.4% nitrogen and 69.6% oxygen. Ifthe molecule contains 2 atoms of nitrogen, what is
Ostrovityanka [42]

Answer:

92.01 g/mol

Explanation:

So first you need to find the empirical formula by the percents. That would be, assuming that you have 100 grams of the the sample, divide each quantity of each element found by its respective molar mass.

30.4 g of N ÷ 14 g/mol N= 2.17 mol of N

69.6 g of O ÷ 16g/mol= 4.35 mol of O

You can establish now the empirical formula.

N2.17O4.35,

but since you can't have a decimal subscript, you divide each subscript by the minimum subscript

NO2

So then you're said that the molecular formula derived from that empirical formula has 2 nitrogen, so you multiply all the subscripts, by 2:

N2O4

-Dinitrogen Tetraoxide

-Nitrogen oxide (IV)

Then all you have to do is find the molecular mass of the compound using the periodic table and what you obtain is the molar mass.

remember: molecular mass is correspondent to molar mass.
