What is the empirical formula for a molecule containing 46.8% Si and 53.2% O?

1 answer:

4 0

Assume there are 100 g of the substance.
Masses:
Si: 46.8 g
O: 53.2 g
Moles:
Si: 46.8 / 28 = 1.67
O: 53.2 / 16 = 3.32
Dividing by the smaller number:
Si: 1.6 7/ 1.67 = 1
O: 3.32 / 1.67 = 2
Thus, the formula:
SiO2

You are given 3.0 grams of solid sodium to react to pure water which has a molarity of 55.6 M. How many milligrams of H2 can be

serious [3.7K]

Answer:

= 15.51 mL

Explanation:

Here's is the reaction:

2HgO(s) ⇒ 2 Hg(s)+O₂(g)

In this reaction 2mol HgO = 1mol O₂

The molecular weight of HgO = 216.59g

so, 3.0g HgO = 3.0g x 1.00molHgO/216.59gHgO

= 0.0138511 molHgO

The amount of Oxygen follows:

0.0138511 molHgOx1/2= 0.00692555 mol O₂

Now, volume of 1 any gas = 22400mL

so, 0.00692555 mol O₂ x22400mLO₂/1mol O₂

= 15.513232mL O₂

Two protons and two neutrons are released as a result of this reaction.

Murljashka [212]

Answer: The particle released in the given reaction is one alpha particle

Explanation:

In a nuclear reaction, the total mass and total atomic number remains the same.

For the given fission reaction:

$^{222}_{86}\textrm{Rn}\rightarrow ^A_Z\textrm{X}+^{218}_{84}\textrm{Po}$

To calculate A:

Total mass on reactant side = total mass on product side

222 = A + 218

A = 4

To calculate Z:

Total atomic number on reactant side = total atomic number on product side

86 = Z + 84

Z = 2

The isotopic symbol of unknown element is $_{2}^{4}\textrm{He}$ . Another name of helium atom is alpha particle.

Hence, the particle released in the given reaction is one alpha particle
