A 2.684-g sample of zinc oxide was reduced by hydrogen gas, resulting in 2. 156 g of pure zinc metal. Determine the empirical fo
Afina-wow [57]

The empirical formula of the initial zinc oxide is ZnO.

<h3>What is Empirical Formula?</h3>

The empirical formula of a compound represents the ratios of elements in a compound but not the actual numbers or arrangement of the atoms.

It is the lowest whole number ratio of the element in the compound.

<h3>How to find out the empirical formula?</h3>
  • Find out the given masses and molar masses of the elements

The molar mass of Zn = 65 gmol⁻¹

Given the mass of Zn = 2.156 g

The molar mass of Oxygen = 16 gmol⁻¹

The mass of Oxygen = Mass of a sample of zinc oxide - the mass of zinc metal

                                   = (2.684 - 2.156) g

                                   = 0.528 g

  • Find the number of moles of the elements in the compound

The number of moles is given by

n = \frac{m}{M}

where m = given mass and

M = Molar mass

Number of moles of Zinc = \frac{2.156}{65} = 0.033 moles

Number of moles of Oxygen =\frac{0.528}{16} = 0.033 moles

  • Find the simplest ratios of the elements in the compound. To find the ratios simply divide the number of moles by the lowest number of moles obtained.

Here, the number of moles is the same for both elements. Hence, the simplest ratio for Zn:O is 1:1.

Therefore, the empirical formula of zinc oxide is ZnO.

Bronze is an alloy made of mostly copper (Cu) and tin (Sn). What type of bond forms bronze?
Snezhnost [94]

Answer:

A. Metallic bond

Explanation:

Think about it: copper and tin are both common metals. That's how we know it's a metallic bond!

Why not B: Covalent bonds are between two nonmetals.

Why not C: Ionic bonds are between a nonmetal and a metal.

Why not D: Paired bond isn't a common phrase in chemistry.

We can consider a chemical to be safe if:
slamgirl [31]
We can consider a chemical to be safe if it does not contain any harmful substances such as nitrogen, harmful acids, or even excessive heat. Other chemicals such as the chemicals used in food products like, for example, citric acid, is not so harmful.
Hope this helps! :D

How many milliliters of sterile water for injection should be added to a vial containing 5 mg/mL of a drug to prepare a solution
jonny [76]

Answer:

7mL of sterile water is the initial amount of the concentrated solution is 3mL

Explanation:

In this problem, the vial must be <em>diluted </em>from 5mg/mL to 1.5mg/mL, that means the solution must be diluted:

5mg/mL / 1.5mg/mL = 3.33 times

If the initial amount of the drug in the vial is 3mL, the final volume must be:

10mL

That means the volume of water that should be added is:

10mL - 3mL:

<h3>7mL of sterile water is the initial amount of the concentrated solution is 3mL</h3>

A wooden artifact from an ancient tomb contains 60% of the carbon-14 that is present in living trees. How long ago was the artif
noname [10]

Answer:

The age of the sample is 4224 years.

Explanation:

Let the age of the sample be t years old.

Initial mass percentage of carbon-14 in an artifact = 100%

Initial mass of carbon-14 in an artifact = [A_o]

Final mass percentage of carbon-14 in an artifact t years = 60%

Final mass of carbon-14 in an artifact = [A]=0.06[A_o]

Half life of the carbon-14 = t_{1/2}=5730 years

k=\frac{0.693}{t_{1/2}}

[A]=[A_o]\times e^{-kt}

[A]=[A_o]\times e^{-\frac{0.693}{t_{1/2}}\times t}

0.60[A_o]=[A_o]\times e^{-\frac{0.693}{5730 year}\times t}

Solving for t:

t = 4223.71 years ≈ 4224 years

The age of the sample is 4224 years.
