The 64.8-g sample of the compound X2O5 contains 48.0 g of oxygen atoms. What is the molar mass of element X?

1 answer:

8 0

The answer is 14 g/mol.

The number of moles (n) is the ratio of mass (m) and molar mass (M):
n = m : M

Step 1. Calculate number of moles of oxygen in the compound.
n = ?
m = 48 g
M = 16 g/mol

n = m/M = 48 g : 16 g/mol = 3 mol

Step 2. Calculate the number of moles of the element X:
5 atoms of oxygen is 3 mol.
2 atoms of element X is x
5 : 3 = 2 :x
x = 2 * 3 / 5 = 6/5 = 1.2 mol

Step 3. Calculate <span>the molar mass of element X
</span>n = 1.2 mol
m = 64.8 g - 48 g = 16.8 g
M = ?

n = m : M
M = m : n
M = 16.8 g : 1.2 mol = 14 g/mol

How many moles of H2O2 are needed to react with 1.07 moles of N2H4?

I am Lyosha [343]

Answer:

2.14 moles of H₂O₂ are required

Explanation:

Given data:

Number of moles of H₂O₂ required = ?

Number of moles of N₂H₄ available = 1.07 mol

Solution:

Chemical equation:

N₂H₄ + 2H₂O₂ → N₂ + 4H₂O

now we will compare the moles of H₂O₂ and N₂H₄

N₂H₄ : H₂O₂

1 : 2

1.07 : 2×1.07 = 2.14 mol

The order of components in a typical flame atomic absorption spectrometer is

Zinaida [17]

The order of components in a typical flame atomic absorption spectrometer is hollow cathode lamp--flame--monochromator--detector

<u>Explanation:</u>

The hollow cathode lamp practices a cathode created of the element of interest with a low internal pressure of inert gas.
Remove scattered light of other wavelengths from the flame. AAS flame includes aiming at first the fuel than the oxidant and then lighting the flame with the instrument's auto-ignition system. Applying flame Ddtroy any analyte ions and breakdown complexes.
The process of the monochromator is to divide analytical lines photons moving through the flame
Photomultiplier tube (PMT) as the detector the PMT determines the intensity of photons of the analytical line exiting the monochromator.
