What's difference between "formula unit" and "molecule" ?

Chemistry
1 answer:
joja [24]3 years ago
6 0
The difference between <span>"formula unit" and "molecule" lies in  the fact that a</span> molecule is made up of two or more elements that are bonded covalently while a formula nit represents the lowest whole number ratio of ions in an ionic compound which makes it applicable only to ionic substances.

What is the percent composition of nitrogen in a 2.57 g sample of Al(NO3)3?
Lisa [10]

Answer:

19.8% of Nitrogen

Explanation:

In the Al(NO₃)₃ there are:

1 atom of Al

3 atoms of N

And 9 atoms of O

The molar mass of Al(NO₃)₃ is:

1 Al * (26.98g/mol) = 26.98g/mol

3 N * (14g/mol) = 42g/mol

9 O * (16g/mol) = 144g/mol

26.98 + 42 + 144 = 212.98g/mol

We can do a conversion using these molar masses to find the mass of nitrogen is the sample, that is:

2.57g * (42g/mol / 212.98g/mol) =

0.51g N

Percent composition of nitrogen is:

0.51g N / 2.57g * 100

= 19.8% of Nitrogen

Water has a boiling point of 100.0°C and a Kb of 0.512°C/m. What is the boiling
Reil [10]

Answer:

The boiling  point of a 8.5 m solution of Mg3(PO4)2 in water is<u> 394.91 K.</u>

Explanation:

The formula for molal boiling Point elevation is :

\Delta T_{b} = iK_{b}m

\Delta T_{b} = elevation in boiling Point

K_{b} = Boiling point constant( ebullioscopic constant)

m = molality of the solution

<em>i =</em> Van't Hoff Factor

Van't Hoff Factor = It takes into accounts,The abnormal values of Temperature change due to association and dissociation .

In solution Mg3(PO4)2 dissociates as follow :

Mg_{3}(PO_{4})_{2}\rightarrow 3Mg^{2+} + 2 PO_{4}^{3-}

Total ions after dissociation in solution :

= 3 ions of Mg + 2 ions of phosphate

Total ions = 5

<em>i =</em> Van't Hoff Factor = 5

m = 8.5 m

K_{b} = 0.512 °C/m

Insert the values and calculate temperature change:

\Delta T_{b} = iK_{b}m

\Delta T_{b} = 5\times 0.512\times 8.5

\Delta T_{b} = 21.76 K

Boiling point of pure water = 100°C = 273.15 +100 = 373.15 K

\Delta T_{b} = T_{b} - T_{b}_{pure}

T_{b}_{pure} = 373.15 K[/tex]

21.76 = T - 373.15

T = 373.15 + 21.76

T =394.91 K

Why is a typical car battery in a car is filled with a solution of sulferic acid
Lesechka [4]

Answer:

Sulfuric acid has a higher density than water, which causes the acid formed at the plates during charging to flow downward and collect at the bottom of the battery.
