M = Sr (strontium)

Step 1. Calculate the moles of CO_2.

Moles of CO_2 = 0.395 g CO_2 × (1 mol CO_2/44.01 g CO_2)

= 0.008 975 mol CO_2

Step 2. Calculate the moles of MCO_3.

Moles of MCO_3 = 0.008 975 mol CO_2 × (1 mol MCO_3/1 mol CO_2)

= 0.008 975 mol MCO_3

Step 3. Calculate the molar mass of MCO_3

MM = grams/moles = 1.324 g/0.008 75 mol = 147.5 g/mol

Step 4. Calculate the atomic mass of M

M_r = x + 12.01 + 3×16.00 = x + 60.01 = 147.5

x = 147.5 – 60.01 = 87.5

Step 5. Identify M.

The element with the closest atomic mass is Sr (A_r = 87.6).

∴ M = Sr and the compound is SrCO_3.

Analysis of a compound of sulfur, oxygen and fluorine showed that it is 31.42% S and 31.35% O, with F accounting for the remaind

Leya [2.2K]

Answer:

The molecular formula is SO2F2

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Suppose the mass of compound = 100 grams

The compound contains:

31.42 % S = 31.42 grams S

31.35 % O = 31.35 grams O

100 - 31.42 - 31.35 = 37.23 F

Molar mass of S = 32.065 g/mol

Molar mass F = 19.00 g/mol

Molar mass O = 16.00 g/mol

Step 2: Calculate moles

Moles = mass / molar mass

Moles S = 31.42 grams / 32.065 g/mol

Moles S = 0.9799 moles

Moles 0 = 31.35 grams / 16.00 g/mol

Moles 0 = 1.959 moles

Moles F = 37.23 grams / 19.00 g/mol

Moles F = 1.959 moles

Step 3: Calculate mol ratio

We divide by the smallest amount of moles

S: 0.9799 / 0.9799 = 1

F: 1.959/ 0.9799 = 2

O : 1.959 / 0.9799 = 2

The empirical formula is SO2F2

This formula has a molecular mass of 102.06 g/mol

This means the empirical formula is also the molecular formula : SO2F2

in example 5.11 of the text the molar volume of n2 at STP is given as 22.42 L/mol how is this number calculatd how does the mola

Valentin [98]

Answer:

V = 22.42 L/mol

N₂ and H₂ Same molar Volume at STP

Explanation:

Data Given:

molar volume of N₂ at STP = 22.42 L/mol

Calculation of molar volume of N₂ at STP = ?

Comparison of molar volume of H₂ and N₂ = ?

Solution:

Molar Volume of Gas:

The volume occupied by 1 mole of any gas at standard temperature and pressure and it is always equal to 22.42 L/ mol

Molar volume can be calculated by using ideal gas formula

PV = nRT

Rearrange the equation for Volume

V = nRT / P . . . . . . . . . (1)

where

P = pressure

V = Volume

T= Temperature

n = Number of moles

R = ideal gas constant

Standard values

P = 1 atm

T = 273 K

n = 1 mole

R = 0.08206 L.atm / mol. K

Now put the value in formula (1) to calculate volume for 1 mole of N₂

V = 1 x 273 K x 0.08206 L.atm / mol. K / 1 atm

V = 22.42 L/mol

Now if we look for the above calculation it will be the same for H₂ or any gas. so if we compare the molar volume of 1 mole N₂ and H₂ it will be the same at STP.

What identifies an ion

bezimeni [28]

Answer:

Identifying whether or not an element is an ion is a very simple process. Identify the charge of the element. ... The number of electrons is equal to the atomic number minus the charge of the atom. Refer to an element with either a positive or negative charge as an ion.
