An oxide of aluminum contains 0.545 g of Al and 0.485 g of O. Find the empirical formula

Chemistry

Answer:

The answer is: <u>Al2O3</u>

Explanation:

The data they give us is:

  • 0.545 gr Al
  • 0.485 gr O.

To find the empirical formula without knowing the grams of the compound, we find it per mole:

  • 0.545 g Al * 1 mol Al / 27 g Al = 0.02 mol Al
  • 0.485 g O * 1 mol O / 16 g O = 0.03 mol O

Then we must divide the results obtained by the lowest result, which in this case is 0.02:

  • 0.02 mol Al / 0.02 = 1  Al
  • 0.03 mol O / 0.02 = 1.5  O

Since both numbers have to give an integer, multiply by 2 until both remain integers:

  • 1Al * 2 = 2Al
  • 1.5O * 2 = 3O

Now the answer is given correctly:

  • Al2O3

What best describes the collision between ideal gas molecules
Alika [10]
An ideal gas is defined as one in which all collisions between atoms or molecules are perfectly eleastic and in which there are no intermolecular attractive forces. One can visualize it as a collection of perfectly hard spheres which collide but which otherwise do not interact with each other.

The equilibrium of 2H 2 O(g) 2H 2 (g) + O 2 (g) at 2,000 K has a Keq value of 5.31 x 10-10. What is the Keq expression for this
maks197457 [2]
Answer is: Keq expression for this system is Keq = <span>[O</span>₂<span> ]</span> · [H₂<span>]</span>² ÷  [H₂O<span>]</span>².<span>
Chemical reaction: 2H</span>₂O(g) ⇄ O₂(g) + 2H₂(g).
The equilibrium constant<span> (Keq) is a ratio of the concentration of the products (in this reaction oxygen and hydrogen) to the concentration of the reactants (in this reaction water).</span>

What are two properties of most nonmetals?(1) high ionization energy and poor electrical conductivity(2) high ionization energy
elixir [45]
The two properties of most non metals are high ionization energy and poor electrical conductivity. The correct option among all the options that are given in the question is option "1". In general it is known that nonmetals are very poor conductors of heat and electricity. The nonmetals that are solid are normally very brittle and has very little or no metallic luster at all. Nonmetals are highly reactive and show variety of chemical properties. It can also be pointed out that the nonmetals gain electrons very easily.
