Chemistry
1 answer:
Agata [3.3K]3 years ago
5 0
Hey there!:

Molar mass H3PO4 = <span>97.9952 g/mol

Atomic Masses :

H = </span><span>1.00794 a.m.u

</span>P = <span>30.973762 a.m.u

</span>O =  15.9994 a.m.u<span>

H % =  [ ( 1.00794 * 3 ) / </span> 97.9952  ]  * 100

H% = <span>3.0857 %

P % = [ ( </span>30.973762 * 1 ) / 97.9952 ] * 100

P% = <span>31.6074 %

O % = [ ( </span>15.9994 * 4 ) / 97.9952 ] * 100

O% = <span>65.3069 %


Hope this helps!</span>

An oxide of aluminum contains 0.545 g of Al and 0.485 g of O. Find the empirical formula
uysha [10]

Answer:

The answer is: <u>Al2O3</u>

Explanation:

The data they give us is:

  • 0.545 gr Al
  • 0.485 gr O.

To find the empirical formula without knowing the grams of the compound, we find it per mole:

  • 0.545 g Al * 1 mol Al / 27 g Al = 0.02 mol Al
  • 0.485 g O * 1 mol O / 16 g O = 0.03 mol O

Then we must divide the results obtained by the lowest result, which in this case is 0.02:

  • 0.02 mol Al / 0.02 = 1  Al
  • 0.03 mol O / 0.02 = 1.5  O

Since both numbers have to give an integer, multiply by 2 until both remain integers:

  • 1Al * 2 = 2Al
  • 1.5O * 2 = 3O

Now the answer is given correctly:

  • Al2O3

Does an astronaut have more mass on earth then space? why or why not?
katovenus [111]

Answer:

No

Explanation:

No, his mass remains the same no matter where he is in the universe.

But then again the moon has less gravitational pull, therefore your weight and mass will be smaller in space and on the moon than on earth

I hope this was helpful! ;)

A 32.8 g iron rod, initially at 22.4 C, is submerged into an unknown mass of water at 63.1 C, in an insulated container. The fin
laila [671]

Answer:

mass water = 32.4 g

Explanation:

specific heat iron = 0.450 J/g°C

specific heat water = 4.18 J/g°C

32.8 x 0.450 ( 59.1 - 22.4) + mass water x 4.18 ( 59.1- 63.1)=0

541.7 - mass water x 16.7 = 0

mass water = 32.4 g
