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

almond37 [142]
<span>The characteristics of a wave are given certain names to describe them, and this helps scientists to accurately describe any given wave. The characteristic known as frequency describes the number of waves that pass a point, and it is measured in waves per second, or Hertz, which is given the symbol Hz, but can also be described using the inverse of the SI unit for second, s^-1.</span>

Look at sample problem 19.10 in the 8th ed Silberberg book. Write the Ksp expression. Find the concentrations of the ions you ne
777dan777 [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

From the information given:

CaF_2 \to Ca^{2+} + 2F^-

Ksp = 3.2 \times 10^{-11}

no of moles of Ca^{2+} = 0.01 L × 0.0010 mol/L

no of moles of Ca^{2+} = 1 \times 10^{-5} \ mol

no of moles of F^- = 0.01 L × 0.00010 mol/L

no of moles of F^- = 1 \times 10^{-6}\ mol

Total volume = 0.02 L

[Ca^{2+}}] = \dfrac{1\times10^{-5} \ mol}{0.02 \ L} \\ \\  \\  \[[Ca^{2+}}] = 0.0005 \ mol/L

[F^{-}] = \dfrac{(1\times 10^{-6} \ mol)}{0.02 \ L}

[F^{-}] = 5 \times 10^{-5}  \ mol/L

Q = [Ca^{2+}][F^-]^2 \\ \\ Q = 0.0005 \times (5\times 10^{-5})^2 \\ \\ Q = 1.25 \times 10^{-12}

Since Q<ksp, then there will no be any precipitation of CaF2
