4Fe + 3O2 -> 2 (Fe2O3)

Both sides have 4Fe and 6O.

Answer: $4Fe+3O_2\rightarrow 2Fe_2O_3$

Explanation:

According to the law of conservation of mass, mass can neither be created nor be destroyed. Thus the mass of products has to be equal to the mass of reactants. The number of atoms of each element has to be same on reactant and product side. Thus chemical equations are balanced.

Synthesis reaction is a chemical reaction in which two reactants are combining to form one product.

The chemical equation for synthesis of $Fe_2O_3$ from $Fe$ and $O_2$ is:

$4Fe+3O_2\rightarrow 2Fe_2O_3$

Analysis of a gaseous chlorofluorocarbon, CClxFy, shows that it contains 11.79% C and 69.57% Cl. In another experiment, you find

uranmaximum [27]

Answer:

The molecular formula = $C_2Cl_{4}F_2$

Explanation:

$Moles =\frac {Given\ mass}{Molar\ mass}$

% of C = 11.79

Molar mass of C = 12.0107 g/mol

% moles of C = 11.79 / 12.0107 = 0.9816

% of Cl = 69.57

Molar mass of Cl = 35.453 g/mol

% moles of Cl = 69.57 / 35.453 = 1.9623

Given that the gaseous chlorofluorocarbon only contains chlorine, flourine and carbon. So,

% of F = 100% - % of C - % of C = 100 - 11.79 - 69.57 = 18.64

Molar mass of F = 18.998 g/mol

% moles of F = 18.64 / 18.998 = 0.9812

Taking the simplest ratio for C, Cl and F as:

0.9816 : 1.9623 : 0.9812

= 1 : 2 : 1

The empirical formula is = $CCl_2F$

Also, Given that:

Pressure = 21.3 mm Hg

Also, P (mm Hg) = P (atm) / 760

Pressure = 21.3 / 760 = 0.02803 atm

Temperature = 25 °C

The conversion of T( °C) to T(K) is shown below:

T(K) = T( °C) + 273.15

So,

T = (25 + 273.15) K = 298.15 K

Volume = 458 mL = 0.458 L (1 mL = 0.001 L)

Using ideal gas equation as:

PV=nRT

where,

P is the pressure

V is the volume

n is the number of moles

T is the temperature

R is Gas constant having value = 0.0821 L.atm/K.mol

Applying the equation as:

0.02803 atm × 0.458 L = n × 0.0821 L.atm/K.mol × 298.15 K

⇒n = 0.00052445 moles

Given that :

Amount = 0.107 g

Molar mass = ?

The formula for the calculation of moles is shown below:

$moles = \frac{Mass\ taken}{Molar\ mass}$

Thus,

$0.00052445= \frac{0.107\ g}{Molar\ mass}$

$Molar\ mass= 204.0233\ g/mol$

Molecular formulas is the actual number of atoms of each element in the compound while empirical formulas is the simplest or reduced ratio of the elements in the compound.

Thus,

Molecular mass = n × Empirical mass

Where, n is any positive number from 1, 2, 3...

Mass from the Empirical formula = 1×12.0107 + 2×35.453 + 1×18.998 = 101.9147 g/mol

Molar mass = 204.0233 g/mol

So,

Molecular mass = n × Empirical mass

204.0233 = n × 101.9147

⇒ n = 2

The molecular formula = $C_2Cl_{4}F_2$
