Find the empirical formula of the following compound: 0.77 mol of iron atoms combined with 1.0 mol of oxygen atoms.

Chemistry

The empirical formula is Fe₃O₄.

The empirical formula is the <em>simplest whole-number ratio of atoms</em> in a compound.

The ratio of atoms is the same as the ratio of moles, so our job is to calculate the molar ratio of Fe to O.

I like to summarize the calculations in a table.

<u>Element</u>   <u>Moles</u>    <u>Ratio</u>¹   <u>×3</u>²   <u>Integers</u>³

    Fe         0.77       1         3             3

    O           1.0         1.3      3.9          4

¹ To get the molar ratio, you divide each number of moles by the smallest number (0.77).

² If the ratio is not close to an integer, multiply by a number (in this case, 3) to get numbers that are close to integers.

³ Round off these numbers to integers (3 and 4).

The empirical formula is Fe₃O₄.

Amanda [17]

Answer:

Chemistry is the branch of science that deals with the properties, composition, and structure of elements and compounds, how they can change, and the energy that is released or absorbed when they change. Traditionally, chemistry has been broken into five main subdisciplines: Organic, Analytical, Physical, Inorganic and Biochemistry. Chemistry is involved in everything we do. The reason why chemistry touches everything we do is because almost everything in existence can be broken down into chemical building blocks.

Hope this helps

ΔG⁰ = ΔH⁰ - TΔS
ΔH⁰ = Hf,(CH₃OH) - Hf,(CO) = -238.7 + 110.5 = -128.2 kJ/mol
ΔS = S(CH₃OH) - S(CO) - 2S(H₂) = 126.8 - 197.7 - 2 x 130.6 = -332.1 J/mol.K
So 
ΔG⁰ = - 128200 + 332.1 T
For the reaction to be spontaneous:
ΔG⁰ < 0
So: -128200 + 332.1 T < 0
332.1 T < 128200
T < 386.028 K

Which of the following examples illustrates a number that is correctly rounded to three significant figures?
Naily [24]

Answer:

c. 20.0332 g to 20,0 g

Explanation:

A significant figure is each of the digits of a number that are used to express it to the required degree of accuracy, starting from the first non-zero digit, with the exception of the trailing zeros.

<em>Which of the following examples illustrates a number that is correctly rounded to three significant figures? </em>

a. 109 526 g to 109 500 g. NO. The rounded number has 4 significant figures: 109 500.

b. 0.03954 g to 0.040 g. NO. The rounded number has 2 significant figures:  0.040.

c. 20.0332 g to 20.0 g. YES. The rounded number has 3 significant figures:  20.0.

d. 04.05438 g to 4.054 g. NO. The rounded number has 4 significant figures: 4.054.

e. 103.692 g to 103.7g. NO. The rounded number has 4 significant figures: 103.7.
