Answer:

K₂CO₃    

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Number of moles of K = 0.104mol

Number of moles of C = 0.052mol

Number of moles of O = 0.156mol

Method

From the given parameters, to calculate the empirical formula of the elements K, C and O, we reduce the given moles to the simplest fraction.

Empirical formula is the simplest formula of a compound and it differs from the molecular formula which is the actual formula of a compound.

  • Divide the given moles through by the smallest which is C, 0.052mol.
  • Then approximate values obtained to the nearest whole number of multiply by a factor to give a whole number ratio.
  • This is the empirical formula

Solution

Elements                             K                       C                    O

Number of moles            0.104                0.052            0.156

Dividing by the

smallest                       0.104/0.052     0.052/0.052  0.156/0.052

                                            2                           1                     3

The empirical formula is K₂CO₃

Choose the best tool for each scenario.
Mama L [17]

Answer:

a) Graph

b) Weight balance or gas syringe  or upside-down measuring cylinder

Explanation:

a) Identifying a trend in temperature change over time - The best tool for this scenario is to represents the temperature daily, weekly, monthly or annually on graph to interpret the fluctuation in temperature owing to local seasonal changes and weather conditions

b) Measuring the mass of a product of a chemical reaction - If the product is solid or liquid then the balance is used to measure the mass. If the product is a gas, then  gas syringe  or upside-down measuring cylinder is used.

Given the balanced equation representing a reaction: 2h2o(l) + 571.6 kJ -> 2h2(g) + o2(g). What occurred as a result of this
Ivan

Answer: option D) energy was absorbed and entropy increased.


Explanation:


1) Given balanced equation:


2H₂O (l) + 571.6 kJ → 2 H₂ (g) + O₂(g).


2) Being the energy placed on the side of the reactants means that the energy is used (consumed or absorbed). This is an endothermic reaction.


So, the first part is that energy was absorbed.


3) As for the entropy, it is a measure of the disorder or radomness of the system.


Since, two molecules of liquid water were transformed into three molecules of gas, i.e. more molecules and more kinetic energy, therefore the new state has a greater degree of radomness, is more disordered, and you conclude that the entropy increased.


With that, you have shown that the right option is D) energy was absorbed and increased.
