A compound has 50% sulfur and 50% oxygen. what is its empirical formula?
Arte-miy333 [17]
A compound is a combination of a different elements to form a new substance. The new substance may well have different properties to that of the composing elements. When a compound is made of 50% sulphur and 50% oxygen, it's empirical formula is SO (sulphur oxide). In other words, there is one sulphur atom and one oxygen atom - each consists of 50% of the overall molecule.

Determine how many grams of precipitate (solid) will form when 621 g of magnesium
kakasveta [241]

Answer:

2,981g

Explanation:

Firstly, we need to find the number of moles of MgCl that we have by using the formula: mass = No. Moles x Molar Mass, which we can rearrange so that we are solving for no. moles:

No. Moles = mass / Molar Mass

We are given a mass of 621g, and we can calculate the molar mass of MgCl by adding the two molar masses together: 24.31+35.45 = 59.76

Now we can calculate number of moles by substituting these values into the formula:

n = 621 / 59.76

No. moles = 10.4

Now we can use the co-efficients in the formula to tell us how many moles of AgCl will be formed. The coefficient of MgCl is 1, and the coefficient of AgCl is 2. This means that every 1 mol of MgCl will form 2 moles of AgCl. So, to find the no. moles of AgCl, we multiply our no. moles by 2:

10.4 x 2 = 20.8 moles

Finally we convert this back into mass by multiplying the no. moles by the Molar mass of AgCl:

m = 20.8 x (107.87+35.45)

m = 2,981g

how does increasing concentration/ temperature/ surface area affect the yield of products in a chemical reaction (not reversible
egoroff_w [7]
Answer:
             <span>Increasing concentration, temperature and surface area will increase the yield of products.

Explanation:
                   Concentration:
                                           
Increase in concentration of reactants will increase the number of reactants per unit volume. Therefore, the probability of collisions will increase hence, it will result in the increase in yield.

                   Temperature:
                                        Increase in temperature increases the kinetic energy of reactants. Therefore, the increase in velocity of reactants results in the collisions with high energy. It makes it feasible for reactants to attain the optimum energy (activation energy) to convert into products with good yield.

                  Surface Area:
                                       The reactants in grinded / powder form reacts fast as compared to solid form. In fact, grinding results in increase of the surface area of reactants. Greater surface area increases the probability of reactants to colloid. Hence, increases the yield.</span>
