Empirical formula of a compound composed of 32.1 g potassium (k) and 6.57 g oxygen (o)?

The empirical formula is K₂O.

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

The <em>ratio of atom</em>s is the same as the <em>ratio of moles</em>.

So, our job is to calculate the <em>molar ratio</em> of K to O.

Step 1. Calculate the <em>moles of each element </em>

Moles of K = 32.1 g K × (1 mol K/(39.10 g K =) = 0.8210 mol K

Moles of O = 6.57 g O × (1 mol O/16.00 g O) = 0.4106 mol 0

Step 2. Calculate the <em>molar ratio of each elemen</em>t

Divide each number by the smallest number of moles and round off to an integer

K:O = 0.8210:0.4106 = 1.999:1 ≈ 2:1

Step 3: Write the <em>empirical formula </em>

EF = K₂O

What intermolecular forces can occur between a CO3<br> ion and H2O molecules? List them
Orlov [11]

Answer:

The intermolecular forces between CO3^2- and H2O molecules are;

1) London dispersion forces

2) ion-dipole interaction

3) hydrogen bonding

Explanation:

Intermolecular forces are forces of attraction that exits between molecules. These forces are weaker in comparison to the intramolecular forces, such as the covalent or ionic bonds between atoms in a molecule.

Considering CO3^2- and H2O, we must remember that hydrogen bonds occur whenever hydrogen is bonded to a highly electronegative atom such as oxygen. The carbonate ion is a hydrogen bond acceptor.

Also, the London dispersion forces are present in all molecules and is the first intermolecular interaction in molecular substance. Lastly, ion-dipole interactions exists between water and the carbonate ion.

Identify the solute and solvent in a solution made from 15 mL of oxygen and 5 mL of helium.
Marina CMI [18]

Answer:

Oxygen is solvent and Helium is solute.

Explanation:

Helium is a complety inert gas which do not react with other compounds whereas, oxygen can take part in chemical reaction with many compounds.

  • if we mix 15 mL of oxygen and 5mL of helium then the oxygen is the solvent and helium is solute.
  • In a mixture the compound with the greater volume is solvent and the compound with lwss volume is solute.
  • in this case, oxygen has greater volume than that of helium so oxygen is solute and helium is solvent here.
