the mass of crucible = 38.26

Mass of crucible + Ir = 39.52 g

So mass of Ir = 39.52 - 38.26 = 1.26 g

atomic mass of Ir = 192 g / mole

Moles of Ir = mass /  atomic mass = 1.26/ 192 = 0.0066

mass of crucible + Iridium oxide = 39.73 g

Mass of oxygen = total mass - (mass of Ir + mass of crucible )

Mass of oxygen = 39.73 - (39.52) = 0.21g

moles of O = mass / atomic mass = 0.21 / 16 = 0.0131

let us divide the moles of Ir and O with moles of Ir

moles of Ir = 0.0066 / 0.0066 = 1

Moles of O = 0.0131 /0.0066 = 1.98 = 2

the empirical formula = IrO2

1) Compund Ir (x) O(y)

2) Mass of iridium = mass of crucible and iridium - mass of crucible = 39.52 g - 38.26 g = 1.26 g

3) Mass of iridium oxide = mass of crucible and iridium oxide - mass of crucible = 39.73g - 38.26g = 1.47g

4) Mass of oxygen = mass of iridum oxide - mass of iridium = 1.47g - 1.26g = 0.21g

5) Convert grams to moles

moles of iridium = mass of iridium / molar mass of iridium = 1.26 g / 192.17 g/mol = 0.00656 moles

moles of oxygen = mass of oxygen / molar mass of oxygen = 0.21 g / 15.999 g/mol = 0.0131

6) Find the proportion of moles

Divide by the least of the number of moles, i.e. 0.00656

Ir: 0.00656 / 0.00656 = 1

O: 0.0131 / 0.00656 = 2

=> Empirical formula = Ir O2 (where 2 is the superscript for O)

Answer: Ir O2

In ionic compounds, ________ lose their valence electrons to form positively charged ________. nonmetals, anions metals, polyato
Keith_Richards [23]
Answer:
            <span>In ionic compounds, <u>Metals</u> lose their valence electrons to form positively charged Cations. 

Explanation:
                   Metals have the ability to loose elctrons readily. For example metals of Group IA and Group IIA readily looses electrons in order to obtain Noble Gas Configuration. On the other hand Non-metals tends to gain electrons and acquire negative charge. While Ions are made when an an element gain or loose electrons. After loosing electrons element get positive charge which is called as Cation while on gaining electron it gets negative charge called as Anion.</span>

2H2 +O2 = 2H2O balance equation with 5 oxygen
Ivenika [448]

10H₂    +   5O₂ →    10H₂O

Explanation:

This problem deals with balancing of chemical equations. In balancing chemical equations, the law of conservation of mass must be followed. This states that:

   "In a chemical reaction, matter is neither created nor destroyed but transformed from one form to another".

This meaning of this is that; the number of atoms on each side of the expression must be the same.

                    2H₂    +   O₂ →    2H₂O

let us check is the equation above is balanced;

   

                                      2H₂    +   O₂ →    2H₂O

Elements             reactant                product

H                                  4                           4

O                                   2                           2

We can see vividly that the equation is balanced;

Now; if we have 5 oxygen gas, we multiply the equation through by 5:

 

                                 5 x          (  2H₂    +   O₂ →    2H₂O   )

     ⇒        10H₂    +   5O₂ →    10H₂O

Elements             reactant                product

H                                  20                       20

O                                  10                        10

give the chemical composition of the followings : Name Chemical Composition Coal gas Water gas Producer gas Natural gas
Assoli18 [71]

Answer:

Below.

Explanation:

Coal gas is a mixture of a variety of gases: inflammable gases including, hydrogen, methane, ethylene, carbon monoxide and volatile hydrocarbons and small amounts of non flammable gases like nitrogen and carbon dioxide.

Water gas consists mainly of carbon monoxide and hydrogen.

Producer gas is similar to water gas and consists mainly of carbon monoxide and hydrogen together with nitrogen and carbon dioxide.

Natural gas occurs naturally and consists mainly of methane with small amounts of other hydrocarbon gases.

Why is the greenhouse effect important to life on earth
navik [9.2K]

Answer:

Because Greenhouse gases let the sun's light shine onto the Earth's surface, but they trap the heat that reflects back up into the atmosphere. And this way, they act like the glass walls of a greenhouse. This greenhouse effect also keeps the Earth warm enough to sustain life.
