Answer:

The molecular formula = N2O4

Explanation:

<u>Step 1</u>: Data given

A gaseous compound is 30.4 % N and 69.6%

Mass of the compound = 5.25 grams

Volume of the gas = 1.00 L

Pressure of the gas = 958 mmHg = 1.26 atm

Temperature of the gas = -4 °C = 273 -4°C = 269 Kelvin

Molar mass of N = 14 g/mol

Molar mass of O = 16 g/mol

<u>Step 2</u>: Calculate mass of N

Mass of Nitrogen = 5.25 grams * 0.304 = 1.596 grams

<u>Step 3:</u> Calculate mass of O

Mass of Oxygen = 5.25 grams * 0.696 = 3.654 grams

<u>Step 4:</u> Calculate number of moles N

Number of moles N = Mass of N/ Molar mass of N

Moles of N = 1.596 grams / 14g/mol

Moles of N = 0.114 moles N

<u>Step 5:</u> Calculate moles of O

Moles O = 3.654 grams / 16 g/mol

Moles 0 = 0.2884 moles

<u>Step 6:</u> Calculate empirical formule

We calculate the empirical formule by dividing number of moles by the smallest number of mol

N : 0.114 / 0.114 = 1

O: 0.2284 / 0.114 = 2

Empirical formule = NO2

<u>Step 7: </u>Calculate number of moles of 5.25 g sample via gas law:

p*V = nRT

⇒ with p = the pressure = 1.26 atm

⇒ with v = 1.00 L

⇒ with n = the number of moles = TO BE DETERMINED

⇒ with R = the gas constant = 0.08206 L*atm/ K*mol

⇒ with T = the temperature = 269 K

number of moles n = (p*V)/(R*T)

n = (1.26*1L)/(0.08206*269)

n = 0.057 mol  

<u>Step 8:</u> Calculate molar mass of the compound

This means 5.25 grams of the gas = 0.057 moles

So 1 mol of the compound has a molar mass of: 5.25 / 0.057 = 92.11 g/mol

<u>Step 9</u>: Calculate molar mass of the empirical formula NO2

N = 14 g/mol

O = 16 g/mol

NO2 = 14 + 16 + 16 = 46 g/mol

The empirical formule NO2 has a molar mass of 46 g/mol

<u>Step 10</u>: Calculate molecular formula

92.11 / 46 = 2

This means the empirical formula should be multiplied by 2

2*(NO2) = N2O4

The molecular formula = N2O4

To protect yourself from consuming too much _____, you should limit your consumption of swordfish, king mackerel, and shark. a.
Serggg [28]

Answer:

b. mercury

Explanation:

Fishes and some other sea foods are are known to concentrate mercury in their bodies. Consumption of these products gradually accumulate mercury in the body over time.

More specifically, fishes like swordfish, king mackerel and shark are known to concentrate higher amount of mercury than other species of fishes. Hence, limiting their consumption will protect humans from mercury poisoning.

The correct option is b.

What is he empirical formula for the compound that is of 1.85 moles of nitrogen and 4.63 miles of oxygen
BartSMP [9]

The empirical formula is N₂O₅.

The empirical formula is the <em>simplest whole-number ratio of atoms</em> in a compound.  

The ratio of atoms is the same as the ratio of moles, so our job is to calculate the <em>molar ratio of N:O</em>.  

I like to summarize the calculations in a table.  

<u>Element</u> <u>Moles</u>  <u>Ratio¹ </u>  <u> ×2²  </u>  <u>Integers</u>³

     N        1.85    1             2             2

     O        4.63    2.503   5.005     5

¹To get the molar ratio, you divide each number of moles by the smallest number (1.85).

²Multiply these values by a number (2) that makes the numbers in the ratio close to integers.

³Round off the number in the ratio to integers (2 and 5).

The empirical formula is N₂O₅.
