1) Compund Ir (x) O(y)
2) Mass of iridium = mass of crucible and iridium - mass of crucible = 39.52 g - 38.26 g = 1.26 g
3) Mass of iridium oxide = mass of crucible and iridium oxide - mass of crucible = 39.73g - 38.26g = 1.47g
4) Mass of oxygen = mass of iridum oxide - mass of iridium = 1.47g - 1.26g = 0.21g
5) Convert grams to moles
moles of iridium = mass of iridium / molar mass of iridium = 1.26 g / 192.17 g/mol = 0.00656 moles
moles of oxygen = mass of oxygen / molar mass of oxygen = 0.21 g / 15.999 g/mol = 0.0131
6) Find the proportion of moles
Divide by the least of the number of moles, i.e. 0.00656
Ir: 0.00656 / 0.00656 = 1
O: 0.0131 / 0.00656 = 2
=> Empirical formula = Ir O2 (where 2 is the superscript for O)
Answer: Ir O2
There is a missing portion of this question which shows the reaction that needs balancing:
"In a balanced equation, the same number of each kind of atom is shown on each side of the equation. Calculate the number of iron (Fe), oxygen (O), and carbon atoms (C).
Fe2O3+ 3CO --> 2Fe + 3CO<span>2
</span><span>Based on these values, is the equation balanced?</span><span>"
</span>
To check if this equation is balanced we simply compare the number of each element on each side of the equation.
On the reactant side of the equation we have:
2 Fe atoms
6 O atoms
3 C atoms
On the product side of the equation we have:
2 Fe atoms
6 O atoms
3 C atoms
Therefore, both side of the reaction have the correct and equal number of each atom, so the equation is balanced.
Explanation:
atomic hydrogen torch utilizes an electric arc whereby two closely - but not touching electrodes - result in the release of powerful electric spark as the current tries to flow through the gap. The gap is filled with hydrogen gas in an atomic hydrogen torch rather than air. The electric arch is split the hydrogen gas molecules into hydrogen atoms (some in plasma form). When the hydrogen atoms land on cooler objects like the metal being welded or cut, they region back to H₂ molecules releasing enormous amounts of heat on the surface. Surface temperatures can reach 4000 °C. The use of hydrogen gas protects the metal being welded from oxidation. Oxidation may compromise the quality of the weld.
