Answer:

H₂O

Explanation:

The empirical formular of the compound is obtained using the following steps;

Step 1: Divide the percentage composition by the atomic mass

Hydrogen = 11.21 / 1 = 11.21

Oxygen = 88.79  / 16 = 5.55

Step 2: Divide by the lowest number

Hydrogen  = 11.21 / 5.55 = 2.02 ≈ 2

Oxygen = 5.55 / 5.55 = 1

This means the ratio of the elements is 2 : 1

The empirical formular (simplest formular of a compound) of the compound is;

H₂O

Answer:Empirical formula ======== H₂O    

Explanation:The empirical formula of a compound shows the whole number ratio for  each atom in a compound.

To find empirical formula. we follow the below steps

The total mass of the compound here  is 100 grams, that is (11.21% of hydrogen + 88.79% of oxygen) we can then  assume 11.21 grams  of hydrogen and 88.79grams of oxygen

                                          Hydrogen                   Oxygen

1.composition by mass    11.21                              88.79

molecular weight              1.007g/mol               15.990g/mol

2.Divide composition by mass  11.21/1.007            88.79/15.99    

by each molecular weight to get 11.13                            5.553

no of moles

3 Divide by the least number of moles

to get atomic ratio                       11.13/5.553          5.553/5.553

                                                         2.004                           1.00

4.Convert  to whole numbers             2                                 1

Empirical formula ======== H₂O

A chemistry student weighs out 0.027 kg of an unknown solid compound X and adds it to 550. mL of distilled water at 30.° C. Afte
QveST [7]

Answer:

1. Yes

2.The solubility of X is 34.55g/L

Explanation:

Solubility of  solute refers to how readily a solute will dissolve in a solvent at a particular temperature. Its the amount of moles or grams required to saturate 1dm^{3} or 1 Litre of water.

From the problem, when the liquid was drained off and amount of X which didn't dissolve was measured, it weighed 0.008kg, this means out of 0.027kg, 0.027-0.008 actually dissolved

= 0.019kg*1000 = 19g.

if 19g is required to saturate 550mL at 30°C,

then\frac{19*1000}{550} will saturate 1L

= 34.545g  will saturate 1Litre

The solubility thus is 34.55g/L

What mass of precipitate forms when 185.5 ml of 0.533 m naoh is added to 627 ml of a solution that contains 15.8 g of aluminum s
Law Incorporation [45]

Answer:

2,57 g of precipitate.

Explanation:

For the reaction:

6 NaOH + Al₂(SO₄)₃ → 2 Al(OH)₃ + 3 Na₂SO₄

The precipitate is Al(OH)₃.

185,5mL of 0,533M NaOH are:

0,1855L × 0,533M = <em>0,0989 moles NaOH</em>

Moles of Al₂(SO₄)₃ are:

15,8g × \frac{1mol}{342,15g} = <em>0,0462 moles Al₂(SO₄)₃</em>

For the total reaction of 0,0989 moles NaOH with Al₂(SO₄)₃ you need:

0,0989moles NaOH × \frac{1molAl_{2}(SO_{4})_{3}}{6 moles NaOH} = <em>0,0165 moles Al₂(SO₄)₃</em>

As you have <em>0,0462 moles Al₂(SO₄)₃ </em>the limiting reactant is NaOH.

0,0989 moles of NaOH produce:

0,0989moles NaOH × \frac{2molAl(OH)_{3}}{6 moles NaOH} = <em>0,0330 moles of Al(OH)₃</em>

These moles are:

0,0330 moles of Al(OH)₃ × (78 g/mol) = <em>2,57 g of Al(OH)₃ ≡ mass of precipitate</em>

<em></em>

I hope it helps!
