What is the percent composition of N H S O in (NH4)2SO4

Chemistry

Lena [83]1 year ago

Answer:

The percent composition is 21% N, 6% H, 24% S and 49% O.

Explanation:

1st) The molar mass of (NH4)2SO4 is 132g/mol, and it represents the 100% of the mass composition.

In 1 mole of (NH4)2SO4, there are:

- 2 moles of N.

- 8 moles of H.

- 1 mole of S.

- 4 moles of O.

2nd) It is necessary to calculate the mass of each element, multiplying its molar mass by the number of moles:

- 2 moles of N (14g/mol) = 28g

- 8 moles of H (1g/mol) = 8g

- 1 mole of S (32g/mol) = 32g

- 4 moles of O (16g/mol) = 64g

3rd) With a mathematical rule of three we can calculate the percent composition of each element in the molecule of (NH4)2SO4:

\begin{gathered} \text{ Nitrogen:} \\ 132g-100\% \\ 28g-x=\frac{28g*100\%}{132g} \\ x=21\% \end{gathered}\begin{gathered} \text{ Hydrogen:} \\ 132g-100\operatorname{\%} \\ 8g-x=\frac{8g*100\operatorname{\%}}{132g} \\ x=6\% \end{gathered}\begin{gathered} \text{ Sulfur:} \\ 132g-100\operatorname{\%} \\ 32g-x=\frac{32g*100\operatorname{\%}}{132g} \\ x=24\% \end{gathered}\begin{gathered} \text{ Oxygen:} \\ 100\%-21\%-6\%-24\%=49\% \\  \\  \end{gathered}

In this case, we can calculate the percent composition of Oxygen by subtracting the other percentages, since the total must be 100%.

So, the percent composition is 21% N, 6% H, 24% S and 49% O.

Answer:

Kc = 1.09x10⁻⁴

Explanation:

<em>HF = 1.62g</em>

<em>H₂O = 516g</em>

<em>F⁻ = 0.163g</em>

<em>H₃O⁺ = 0.110g</em>

<em />

To solve this question we need to find the moles of each reactant in order to solve the molar concentration of each reactan and replacing in the Kc expression. For the reaction, the Kc is:

Kc = [H₃O⁺] [F⁻] / [HF]

<em>Because Kc is defined as the ratio between concentrations of products over reactants powered to its reaction coefficient. Pure liquids as water are not taken into account in Kc expression:</em>

<em />

[H₃O⁺] = 0.110g * (1mol /19.01g) = 0.00579moles / 5.6L = 1.03x10⁻³M

[F⁻] = 0.163g * (1mol /19.0g) = 0.00858moles / 5.6L = 1.53x10⁻³M

[HF] = 1.62g * (1mol /20g) = 0.081moles / 5.6L = 0.0145M

Kc = [1.03x10⁻³M] [1.53x10⁻³M] / [0.0145M]

<h3>Kc = 1.09x10⁻⁴</h3>

How many electrons will each element gain or lose in forming an ion?
Amanda [17]
It depends on the number of valence electrons required to make octet or duplet( in case of H). For example, Nitrogen(atomic number = 7) has electronic configuration(2,5) which means nitrogen has 5 valence electrons and requires 3 more electrons to complete its octet. After gaining 3 electrons from atoms of an element with less electronegativity than N, it forms nitride ion (N ^{-3}). Hope this helps.

Answer:

The correct answer is - scientific law.

Explanation:

A scientific law is an explanation to a well observed phenomenon of the world which is found true every time tested and universal proven fact, but the reason behind the phenomenon and its existence.

To explain the scientific law there will be various explanation that are called scientific theory, however these theories can not be proved.

Thus, the correct answer is - scientific law.
