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

What are the charges of families 1, 2, & 13 (boron family) if/when they become Ions
Natalka [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

Group one elements are alkali metals. All alkali metal have one valance electron. They loses their one valance electron and from cation with charge of +1.

Charges on group one.

Hydrogen = +1

Lithium = +1

Sodium = +1

Potassium = +1

Rubidium = +1

Cesium = +1

Francium = +1

Group two elements are alkaline earth metals. All alkaline earth metal have two valance electron. They loses their two valance electron and from cation with charge of +2.

Charges on group two.

Beryllium = +2

Magnesium = +2

Calcium = +2

Strontium = +2

Barium= +2

Radium = +2

Group 13 elements are boron family. All elements have three valance electrons. They loses their three valance electron and from cation with charge of +3.

Charges on group 13.

Boron = +3

Aluminium = +3

Gallium = +3

Indium = +3

Thallium= +3

Group 13 elements are also shows +1 charge by losing one valance electron.

A sealed 1.0L flask is filled with 0.500 mols of I_2 and 0.500 mols of Br_2. When the container achieves equilibrium the equilib
DochEvi [55]

Answer:

[IBr] = 0.049 M.

Explanation:

Hello there!

In this case, according to the balanced chemical reaction:

I_2+Br_2\rightarrow 2IBr

It is possible to set up the following equilibrium expression:

K=\frac{[IBr]^2}{[I_2][Br_2]} =0.0110

Whereas the the initial concentrations of both iodine and bromine are 0.50 M; and in terms of x (reaction extent) would be:

0.0110=\frac{(2x)^2}{(0.50-x)^2}

Which can be solved for x to obtain two possible results:

x_1=-0.0277M\\\\x_2=0.0245M

Whereas the correct result is 0.0245 M since negative results does not make any sense. Thus, the concentration of the product turns out:

[IBr]=2x=2*0.0249M=0.049M

Regards!

Talja [164]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given parameters :

Volume of solution  = 100mL

Absorbance of solution  = 0.30

Unknown:

Concentration of CuSO₄ in the solution = ?

Solution:

There is relationship between the absorbance and concentration of a solution. They are directly proportional to one another.

A graph of absorbance against concentration gives a value of 0.15M at an absorbance of 0.30.

The concentration is 0.15M

Also, we can use:  Beer-Lambert's law;

                    A  = ε mC l

where εm is the molar extinction coefficient

             C is the concentration

             l is the path length

Since the εm is not given and assuming path length is 1;

         Then we solve for the concentration.
