Compound X has a molar mass of 316.25 g*mol^-1 and the following composition:

Leokris [45]

Answer:

Compound X has a molar mass of 316.25 g*mol^-1 and the following composition:

element & mass %

phosphorus & 39.18%

sulfur & 60.82%

Write the molecular formula of X.

Explanation:

The given molecule of phosphorus and sulfur has molar mass --- 316.25 g.

Empirical formula calculation:

element: phosphorus sulfur

co9mposition: 39.185% 60.82%

divide with

atomic mass: 39.185/31.0 g/mol 60.82/32.0g/mol

=1.26mol 1.90mol

smallest mole ratio: 1.26mol/1.26mol =1 1.90mol/1.26 mol =1.50

multiply with 2: 2 3

Hence, the empirical formula is:

P2S3.

Mass of empirical formula is:

158.0g/mol

Given, molecule has molar mass --- 316.25 g/mol

Hence, the ratio is:

316.25g/mol/158.0 =2

Hence, the molecular formula of the compound is :

2 x (P2S3)

= $P_4S_6$

112 g of aluminum carbide react with 174 g water to produce methane and aluminum hydroxide in the reaction shown below.

dolphi86 [110]

<u>Answer:</u> 4.999 moles of excess reactant will be left over.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Limiting reagent is defined as the reagent which is completely consumed in the reaction and limits the formation of the product.

Excess reagent is defined as the reagent which is left behind after the completion of the reaction.

The number of moles is defined as the ratio of the mass of a substance to its molar mass.

$\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}$ .....(1)

Given mass of aluminium carbide = 112 g

Molar mass of aluminium carbide = 143.96 g/mol

Putting values in equation 1:

$\text{Moles of aluminium carbide}=\frac{112g}{143.96g/mol}=0.778mol$

For the given chemical reaction:

$2Al_4C_3(s)+12H_2O(l)\rightarrow 3CH_4(g)+4Al(OH)_3(s)$

By the stoichiometry of the reaction:

2 moles of aluminium carbide reacts with 12 moles of water

So, 0.778 moles of aluminium carbide will react with = $\frac{12}{2}\times 0.778=4.668 mol$ of water

Given mass of water = 174 g

Molar mass of water = 18 g/mol

Putting values in equation 1:

$\text{Moles of water}=\frac{174g}{18g/mol}=9.667mol$

Moles of excess reactant (water) left = 9.667 - 4.668 = 4.999 moles

Hence, 4.999 moles of excess reactant will be left over.

To balance a half-reaction in basic solution, you need to add enough of which substances to balance the equation?

LenKa [72]

I'm not sure if this is what you're looking for, but I suppose you would have to have the solute and the solution to balance the reaction.

Identify the ways that art and science are similar

Katarina [22]

Answer:

Arts and science are similar in that they are expressions of what it is to be human in this world.

Explanation:

Both are driven by curiosity, discovery, the aspiration for knowledge of the world or oneself, and perhaps, as the conceptual artist Goshka Macuga said on her recent visit to Cern, a desire for world domination.
