Elemental analysis of the unknown gas from part a revealed that it is 30.45% n and 69.55% o. what is the molecular formula for t
Gnesinka [82]

Assuming we have 100 g of sample

30.45/MW of N 14g = 2.175

69.55/MW of O 16g = 4.34

4.34/2.185 = 2

for every 1 mole of N we have 2 moles of O

so the empirical formula would be NO2

without having the molecular weight of the entire molecule the molecular formula can not be determined with the information in your question

What volume of 12.0 M sulfuric acid is needed to prepare 300.0 mL of 2.50 M solution?
Zepler [3.9K]

Answer:

n=c*V

=2.50*300x10^-3

=.75 moles of hcl

v=n/c

=.75/12

=.0625 L

convert to mL

=62.5mL

A species with a charge of -1 contains 57 electrons and 80 neutrons. What is the identity of the species. Note: The species show
Inga [223]

In a neutral atom, the number of protons is equal to the number of electrons.

Given that the charge on the ion of the element is -1. This means that there is one electron more than the number of protons in the element.

The atomic number = Number of protons = 57 -1 = 56

Element with atomic number 56 is Barium.

Mass number of the element = Number of protons + Number of neutrons

                                                = 56 + 80 = 136

So the identity of the species: ^{136}Ba^{-}

Calculate ΔHo for the following reaction ussing the given bond dissociation energiesCH4(g) + 2O2(g) --&gt; CO2(g) + 2H2O(g)BOND
Mazyrski [523]

Answer:

The ΔH° for the following reaction is -794 kJ, hence exothermic reaction,

Explanation:

CH_4(g) + 2O_2(g)\rightarrow CO_2(g) + 2H_2O(g) ,ΔH° = ?

We are given with:

\Delta H_{O-O}=142 kJ/mol

\Delta H_{O=O}=498 kJ/mol

\Delta H_{H-O}=459 kJ/mol

\Delta H_{C-H}=411 kJ/mol

\Delta H_{C-O}=358 kJ/mol

\Delta H_{C=O}=799 kJ/mol

ΔH° =  

(Energies required to break bonds on reactant side) - (Energies released on formation of bonds on product side)

\Delta H^o=(1 mol\times 4\times \Delta H_{C-H}+2 mol\times 1\times \Delta H_{O=O})-(1 mol\times 2\times \Delta H_{C=O}+2 mol\times 2\times\Delta H_{H-O})

\Delta H^o=(1 mol\times 4\times 411 kJ/mol+2 mol\times 1\times 498 kJ/mol)-(1 mol\times 2\times 799 kJ/mol+2 mol\times 2\times 459 kJ/mol)

\Delta H^o=-794kJ

\Delta H^o>0 endothermic reaction

\Delta H^o exothermic reaction

The ΔH° for the following reaction is -794 kJ, hence exothermic reaction,
