What is an empirical formula for a compound that is 82.2% nitrogen and 17.8% hydrogen

Percent to mass
Mass to mole
Divide by small
Multiply 'til whole

Assume 100 g of substance, then 82.2 g N and 17.8 g H.

82.2 g N * (1 mol/14.01 g N) = 5.86 mol N
17.8 g H * (1 mol/1.01 g H) = 17.6 mol H

Divide by the smallest mole
17.6 H / 17.6  = 1 H
5.86 N / 17.6 =  1/3 N

Multiply to make whole number ( x3 in this case)
3 x 1 H = 3H
3 x 1/3 N = 1 N

how many moles of sodium are needed to react with sulfuric acid to produce 3.75 moles of sodium sulfate according to the followi
anastassius [24]
Hello!
<span>
You'll need to react 7,5 moles of Sodium with sulfuric acid to produce 3.75 moles of sodium sulfate
</span>
First of all, you need to balance the reaction. The balanced reaction is shown below (ensuring that the Law of Conservation of Mass is met on both sides):

2Na + H₂SO₄ → Na₂SO₄ + H₂

Now, all that you have to do is to use molar equivalences in this reaction applying the coefficients to calculate the moles of Sodium that you'll need:

molesNa=3,75moles Na_{2} SO_4* \frac{2 moles Na}{1 mol Na_{2} SO_4} =7,5 moles Na 

Have a nice day!

So, a gas, and an
valina [46]

Answer:

d) cut the large sized Cu solid into smaller sized pieces

Explanation:

The aim of the question is to select the right condition for that would increases the rate of the reaction.

a) use a large sized piece of the solid Cu

This option is wrong. Reducing the surface area decreases the reaction rate.

b) lower the initial temperature below 25 °C for the liquid reactant, HNO3

Hugher temperatures leads to faster reactions hence this option is wrong.

c) use a 0.5 M HNO3 instead of 2.0 M HNO3

Higher concentration leads to increased rate of reaction. Hence this option is wrong.

d) cut the large sized Cu solid into smaller sized pieces

This leads to an increased surface area of the reactants, which leads to an increased rate of the reaction. This is the correct option.

Mendeleev is the scientist who first developed
Schach [20]
Dmitri Mendeleev is the scientist who first developed the periodic table.

He is a Russian chemist and inventor who formulated the periodic law and created the periodic table of elements. He corrected some of the properties of the elements. Now, we can easily locate the elements we wanted to identify. With the help of Mendeleev, studying chemistry is not that difficult because he tried to simplify some of the concept that was complex before.

A jug contains 2L of milk. Calculate the volume of the milk in m3
stepan [7]

Answer: 0.002 m³

Explanation:

We can use our unit conversions to find the volume in m³.

2L*\frac{1m^3}{1000L} =0.002m^3

nasty-shy [4]

The <u>Empirical formula</u> gives the smallest whole number ratio of moles of each element in a compound. therefore, multiple compounds may have it in common.

<h3>What is Empirical formula?</h3>

The most straightforward whole number ratio of atoms in a compound is its empirical formula. The empirical formula for sulfur monoxide, or SO, and disulfur dioxide, or S2O2, are both straightforward illustrations of this idea.

<h3>What is multiple compounds?</h3>

According to the law of multiple proportions, if two elements combine to form more than one compound, the ratio of the second element's mass to the fixed mass of the first element will always be a ratio of tiny whole numbers.

<h3>What is empirical formula used for?</h3>

Typically, the empirical formula is used to simply display the components of a molecule. When one needs to quickly identify the elements they are working with, this is helpful. When you want to know how many atoms of each element are present in the molecule, the molecular formula is most helpful.
