empirical formula = when the percentage compositions by mass of elements in a compound are divided by their relative atomic masses.

from the obtained amount the smallest amount will divide all.

the answers can then be rounded off if in decimals or they can be multiplied by 2 if they have .5 decimals e.g 2.5 , 7.5 , etc.

solution: HYDROGEN    CARBON      OXYGEN

                2/1                      74/12               24/16

                  2                         6.167                 1.5

                  2 / 1.5                  6.167 / 1.5           1.5 / 1.5

                  1.333                        4.111                   1

                      1                              4                        1


answer :     C4OH

Determina el grado de pureza de un marmol (CaCO3), si al descomponerse 125 g del mismo se desprenden 20 litros de dióxido de car
jarptica [38.1K]

Answer:

67.8%

Explanation:

La reacción de descomposición del CaCO₃ es:

CaCO₃ → CO₂ + CaO

<em>Donde 1 mol de CaCO₃ al descomponerse produce 1 mol de CO₂ y 1 mol de CaO.</em>

Usando la ley general de los gases, las moles de dioxido de carbono son:

PV = nRT.

<em>Donde P es presión (1atm), V es volumen (20L), n son moles de gas, R es la constante de los gases (0.082atmL/molK) y T es temperatura absoluta (15 + 273.15 = 288.15K). </em>Reemplazando los valores en la ecuación:

PV / RT = n

1atmₓ20L / 0.082atmL/molKₓ288.15K = 0.846 moles

Como 1 mol de CO₂ es producido desde 1 mol de CaCO₃, las moles iniciales de CaCO₃ son 0.846moles.

La masa molar de CaCO₃ es 100.087g/mol. Así, la masa de 0.846moles de CaCO₃ es:

0.846moles ₓ (100.087g / mol) = <em>84.7g de CaCO₃</em>

Así, la pureza del marmol es:

(84.7g de CaCO₃ / 125g) ₓ 100<em> = </em>

Determine whether the following statements describe chemical or physical properties: (a) Oxygen gas supports combustion. (b) Fer
sdas [7]

Explanation:

A change that does not cause any change in chemical composition of a substance is known as a physical change.

For example, mass, density, volume etc are all physical changes.

On the other hand, a change that brings change in chemical composition of a substance is known as chemical change.

For example, combustion, toxicity, reactivity etc are all chemical changes.

Hence, following statements are identified as chemical or physical changes as follows.

(a) Oxygen gas supports combustion : Chemical change

(b) Fertilizers help to increase agricultural production : Chemical change

(c) Water boils below 100^{o}C on top of a mountain : Physical change

(d) Lead is denser than aluminum : Physical change

(e) Uranium is a radioactive element : Chemical change

Ammonia is an important ingredient in many fertilizers. The main process by which ammonia is made is the Haber process. In this
creativ13 [48]
The best answer is "<span>High temperatures increase the activation energy of the reaction."

The Haber process is an exothermic reaction at room temperature. This means that the reaction actually favors the reverse reaction, especially when the temperature is increased. So why increase the reaction temperature?

The reason for this is that nitrogen is a very stable element. Therefore, more energy is needed to overcome the slow rate of reaction. So the reaction temperature must be low enough to favor a forward reaction, but high enough to speed up the reaction.</span>
