V₂O is the empirical formula of a vanadium (i) oxide given that 20.38 grams of vanadium combines with oxygen to form 23.58 grams of the oxide.

The simplest whole number ratio of the atoms of the elements in a specific compound is shown by the empirical formula for that compound. When the mass of each component of a compound or its % composition by mass is known, an empirical formula may typically be computed.

% composition is equal to (mass of an element minus mass of the compound) / 100%.

Given

Vanadium weighs 20.38 g.

The oxide's mass is 23.58 g.

% Vanadium composition: (20.38 g/23.58 g) 100%

= 86.43%

Oxygen mass equals 23.58 g minus 20.38 g

= 3.2 g

100% of oxygen's composition is (3.2/g/23.58 g)

= 13.57%

Atomic mass and number are related by composition percentage.

Vanadium's atomic weight is 50.94 g/mol.

Atomic weight of V = 86.43 / 50.94

= 1.6967

Oxygen has an atomic mass of 16 g/mol.

O atom count is 13.57/16.

= 0.8481

Now on calculation the ratio of Vanadium to the oxygen is

1.6967/0.8481 = 2/1

Ratio of whole numbers is 2:1

Thus V₂O is the empirical formula .

If a sample of CO gas at 1.977 atm has a volume of 517.4 mL and the pressure is changed to
Mekhanik [1.2K]

Answer:

The answer to your question is V2 = 333.9 ml

Explanation:

Data

Pressure 1 = P1 = 1.977 atm

Volume 1 = V1 = 517.4 ml

Pressure 2 = P2 = 3.063 atm

Volume 2 = V2 = ?

Process

To solve this problem use Boyle's law

              P1V1 = P2V2

-Solve for V2

              V2 = P1V1/P2

-Substitution

              V2 = (1.977 x 517.4) / 3.063

-Simplification

              V2 = 1022.9 / 3.063

-Result

              V2 = 333.9 ml

Yanka [14]

Answer:

Rate constant at 725 K is 5.2\times 10^{-4}s^{-1}

Explanation:

According to Arrhenius equation for a reaction-

ln(\frac{k_{2}}{k_{1}})=\frac{E_{a}}{R}(\frac{1}{T_{1}}-\frac{1}{T_{2}})

where k_{2} and k_{1} are rate constants of reaction at T_{2} and T_{1} temperatures (in kelvin) respectively.

E_{a} is activation energy of reaction.

Here T_{1}= 600 K , k_{1}= 6.1\times 10^{-8}s^{-1}

T_{2}= 725 K, E_{a}= 262 kJ/mol and R = 8.314 J/(mol.K)

So plugin all the values in the above equation-

ln(\frac{k_{2}}{6.1\times 10^{-8}s^{-1}})=\frac{262\times 10^{3}J/mol}{8.314J/(mol.K)}\times (\frac{1}{600K}-\frac{1}{725K})

So, k_{2} = 5.2\times 10^{-4}s^{-1}

Hence rate constant at 725 K is 5.2\times 10^{-4}s^{-1}
