Answer:

The correct answer is option C.

Explanation:

Atomic weight is defined as sum of protons and neutrons present in the nucleus of an atom of the particular element.It is denoted by A.

Atomic number is defined as total number of protons present in the nucleus of an atom of the particular element. It is denoted by Z.

For an element say with X symbol both atomic weight and number are denoted by: $^{Z}_{A}X$ .

The mineral enargite is 48.41% cu, 19.02% as, and 32.57% s by mass. what is the empirical formula of enargite?

LuckyWell [14K]

Empirical formula is the simplest ratio of whole numbers of components in a compound.
Assuming for 100 g of the compound
Cu As S
mass 48.41 g 19.02 g 32.57 g
number of moles 48.41 / 63.5 g/mol 19.02 / 75 g/mol 32.57 / 32 g/mol
= 0.762 mol = 0.2536 mol = 1.018 mol
divide by the least number of moles
0.762 / 0.2536 0.2536 / 0.2536 1.018 / 0.2536
= 3.00 = 1.00 = 4.01
once they are rounded off
Cu - 3
As - 1
S - 4
therefore empirical formula is Cu₃AsS₄

Calculate the hight of a column of liquid glycerol in meters required to exert the same pressure as 3.02 m if CCl4?

katovenus [111]

Answer:

Approximately $3.81\; \rm m$ .

Explanation:

Look up the density $\rho$ of carbon tetrachloride, $\rm CCl_4$ , and glycerol:

Density of carbon tetrachloride: approximately $1.59\times 10^{3}\; \rm kg \cdot m^{-3}$ .
Density of glycerol: approximately $1.26\times 10^{3}\; \rm kg \cdot m^{-3}$ .

Let $g$ denote the gravitational field strength. (Typically $g \approx 9.81\; \rm N \cdot kg^{-1}$ near the surface of the earth.) For a column of liquid with a height of $h$ , if the density of the liquid is $\rho$ , the pressure at the bottom of the column would be:

$P = \rho\cdot g \cdot h$ .

The pressure at the bottom of this carbon tetrachloride column would be:

$\begin{aligned} P &= \rho \cdot g \cdot h \\ & \approx 1.59\times 10^{3} \; \rm kg \cdot m^{-3} \times 9.81\; \rm N \cdot kg^{-1} \times 3.02 \; \rm m \approx 4.71 \times 10^{4} \; \rm N \cdot m^{-2} \end{aligned}$ .

Rearrange the equation $P = \rho\cdot g \cdot h$ for $h$ :

$\displaystyle h = \frac{P}{\rho \cdot g}$ .

Apply this equation to calculate the height of the liquid glycerol column:

$\begin{aligned}h &= \frac{P}{\rho \cdot g} \\ &\approx \frac{4.71 \times 10^{4}\; \rm N \cdot m^{-2}}{1.26 \times 10^{3}\; \rm kg \cdot m^{-3} \times 9.81\; \rm N \cdot kg^{-1}} \approx 3.81\; \rm m\end{aligned}$ .
