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

Which one of the following will change the value of an equilibrium constant?
Ad libitum [116K]

Answer:

(E) changing temperature

Explanation:

Consider the following reversible balanced reaction:

aA+bB⇋cC+dD

If we know the molar concentrations of each of the reaction species, we can find the value of Kc using the relationship:

Kc = ([C]^c * [D]^d) / ([A]^a * [B]^b)

where:

[C] and [D] are the concentrations of the products in the equilibrium; [A] and [B] reagent concentrations in equilibrium; already; b; c and d are the stoichiometric coefficients of the balanced equation. Concentrations are commonly expressed in molarity, which has units of moles / 1

There are some important things to remember when calculating Kc:

-  <em>Kc is a constant for a specific reaction at a specific temperature</em>. If you change the reaction temperature, then Kc also changes

- Pure solids and liquids, including solvents, are not considered for equilibrium expression.

- The reaction must be balanced with the written coefficients as the minimum possible integer value in order to obtain the correct value of Kc

quizlet a basement is successfully sealed so that more radon may not enter the space, but 5.7×107 radon atoms are already trappe
12345 [234]

After 25 days, it remains radon 5.9x10^5 atoms.

Half-life is the time required for a quantity (in this example number of radioactive radon) to reduce to half its initial value.

N(Ra) = 5.7×10^7; initial number of radon atoms

t1/2(Ra) = 3.8 days; the half-life of the radon is 3.8 days

n = 25 days / 3.8 days

n = 6.58; number of half-lifes of radon

N1(Ra) = N(Ra) x (1/2)^n

N1(Ra) = 5.7×10^7 x (1/2)^6.58

N1(Ra) = 5.9x10^5; number of radon atoms after 25 days

The half-life is independent of initial concentration (size of the sample).

Why is a terminal alkyne favored when sodium amide (NaNH2) is used in an elimination reaction with 2,3-dichlorohexane
mihalych1998 [28]

The question is incomplete, the complete question is;

Why is a terminal alkyne favored when sodium amide (NaNH2) is used in an elimination reaction with 2,3-dichlorohexane? product. A) The terminal alkyne is more stable than the internal alkyne and is naturally the favored B) The terminal alkyne is not favored in this reaction. C) The resonance favors the formation of the terminal rather than internal alkyne. D) The strong base deprotonates the terminal alkyne and removes it from the equilibrium.

E) The positions of the Cl atoms induce the net formation of the terminal alkyne.

Answer:

E) The positions of the Cl atoms induce the net formation of the terminal alkyne.

Explanation:

In this reaction, sterric hindrance plays a very important role. We know that sodamide is a strong base, it tends to attack at the most accessible position.

The first deprotonation yields an alkene. The strong base attacks at the terminal position again and yields the terminal alkyne. Thus the structure of the dihalide makes the terminal hydrogen atoms most accessible to the base. Hence the answer.
