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 mass of hcl gas must be added to 1.00 l of a buffer solution that contains [aceticacid]=2.0m and [acetate]=1.0m in order to
Paraphin [41]
PH of acidic buffer = pKa + log [CH₃COONa - HCl] / [CH₃COOH + HCl]
pKa of CH₃COOH = 4.74
Concentration of acetic acid in buffer = 2.0 M
Concentration of sodium acetate = 1.0 M
Concentration of HCl must add = x
pH = 4.74 + log (1-x) / (2+x) = 4.11
x = concentration of HCl must be added = 0.43 M
number of moles of HCl = M * V = 0.43 * 1 = 0.43 mol
mass of HCl must be added = 0.43 * 36.5 = 15.7 g

How many grams of NaoH are needed to nutralize 50 grams of H2SO4?​
sergij07 [2.7K]

to neutralize 1 mole of H2 S o4 we need one mole of any if we are having 50 grams of H2 S o4 it means the mole of H2 S o4 in 50 gram will be 50×40)/98 hence

utilising 50 grams of H2 S o4 we need approximately 20. 5 gm of Naoh

Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

Answer:

1.915e23 Atoms

Explanation:

There are 6.02214076e23 is the mass of a mol in amu. Since the amu of lead is 207.2, and there is 65.89 grams of it, you can find that it creates approximately 1.914 atoms.

What is the mass of Na2CO3∙10H2O that is needed to make 100 ml of sodium carbonate solution with the mass percentage of Na2CO3∙
schepotkina [342]

first we find the mass of the final solution

we know that

density=mass/volume

we know the density and volume

1=m/100

m=100g

now we calculate the mass ofNa2CO3

2% of 100 is equal with 2g of Na2CO3
