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

Chemistry

uysha [10]2 years ago

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

Why does weathering cause erosion
Naily [24]

Answer:Why does weathering cause erosion

Explanation:Organic weathering happens when plants break up rocks with their growing roots or plant acids help dissolve rock. Once the rock has been weakened and broken up by weathering it is ready for erosion. Erosion happens when rocks and sediments are picked up and moved to another place by ice, water, wind or gravity.

A newly discovered element, Z, has two naturally occurring isotopes. 90.3 percent of the sample is an isotope with a mass of 267
kirill115 [55]
Ok so, remember that t<span>he average atomic mass is what is seen on the periodic table. It is the average mass of all of the isotopes with their frequency taken into account. What you need to do is add the products of the masses and frequencies Just like this:</span>

What are the basics of chemistry
Novay_Z [31]
In studying chemistry, one should learn how to read the periodic table and periodic trends in the table.. Of course, you should also know the abbreviations of each element in it so that you can identify what element is in chemical structures. Memorizing and knowing it by heart is the best way. You should also study what we call chemical nomenclature which is naming combinations of elements. Elements when combined may form ionic compounds, bonds or acids. Knowing what element reacts with another will also be necessary that's why the concept of chemical reactions must be further studied.

Can a combination reaction be a redox reaction ?
saul85 [17]

Answer:

Yes A redox reaction can be a combination reaction.

Two elements are mixed in a combination reaction to produce a single product.

Explanation:

Example: water formula

2H2 + O2 → 2H2O

Oxygen is reduced in this reaction when electrons are transferred from hydrogen to oxygen and hydrogen is also oxidized since oxygen from hydrogen accepts electrons. Oxygen is the oxidizing agent and hydrogen is the reducing agent.

2H2 + O2 → 2H2O
