Answer:

The empirical formula of a compound is Na2Cr2O7

Explanation:

Empirical formula is defined as the lowest ratio of elements present in any substance. In order to determine the empirical formula for a substance containing these elements we have to follow some steps.

1.In the first step, we have to divide the given mass of an element with its molecular mass to convert the mass to moles.

No. of moles of Na=Given Mass of Na/Molecular Mass of Na=9.1/23=0.396

Similarly, the moles of Cr and O in that compound were calculated and found as 0.396 and 1.3875, respectively.

2. Then the next step is to determine the lowest moles and divide all the moles with that lowest mole. As here the lowest mole is 0.396. So on dividing the moles of Na, Cr and O with 0.396, we will obtain the ratio as 1:1:3.5.

3. As the ratio consists of a fractional number, we have to multiply it with the smallest possible integer to convert it to whole number. In this case, if we multiply it with 2 , we will get the ratio as 2:2:7.

Thus, the empirical formula for the compound can be written as Na2Cr2O7.

Consider the reaction: CH4 + 2O2 = CO2 + 2H2O
crimeas [40]

Answer:

The answer to your question is:

a)  80 g of O2

b) O2, 15.13 g of CO2

c) It's not posible to know which is the limiting reactant.

Explanation:

Reaction                             CH4   +   2O2   ⇒   CO2   +   2H2O

a. Calculate the grams of O2 needed to react with 20.00 grams of CH4. _____________

MW CH4 = 16 g

MW O2 = 32 g

                               16 g of CH4 ----------------  2(32) g of O2

                               20 g              --------------    x

                               x = (20 x 64) / 16 = 80 g of O2

b. Given 15.00 g. of CH4 and 22.00 g. of O2, identify the limiting reactant and calculate the grams of CO2 that can be produced. LR _________ grams CO2 _________ .  

                                CH4   +   2O2   ⇒   CO2   +   2H2O

                                15 g         22 g

                                16 g of CH4 ----------------  64 g of O2

                                15 g of CH4  ---------------   x

                               x = (15 x 64) / 16 = 60 g of O2

The Limiting reactant is O2 because it is necessary 60g of O2 for 16 g of CH4 and there are only 22.

                                 CH4   +   2O2   ⇒   CO2   +   2H2O

                        64 g of O2 ------------------  44 g of CO2

                        22 g of O2 ------------------   x

                        x = (22 x 44)/ 64 = 15. 13 g of CO2

c. For the reaction CH4 + 2O2 = CO2 + 2H2O, if you have 10.31 g. of CH4 and an unknown amount of oxygen, and form 20.00 g. of CO2, i. Identify if there is a limiting reactant ______________ ii. Calculate the number of grams of the limiting reactant present if there is one. ______________  

                           CH4   +   2O2   ⇒   CO2   +   2H2O                              

                           10.31 g                     20 g

We can identify the limiting reactant if we know the quantity of the reactants, if we only know the quantity of one it is not posible to which is the limiting reactant.

What is the molarity of 1 mole of HCl in 5 liters of solution?
kicyunya [14]
Molarity = moles of solute(HCl)
                  ------------------------------------
                   volume of the solution
               
                =   1
                    ------
                     5 
               
                =  0.2M.

Hence option B is correct.
Hope this helps!!
