Since all of those percents add up to 100, you can just directly convert that to grams. So now you can use 2 grams H, 32.7 grams S, and 65.3 grams O. Use that info and convert that to moles for an answer of 2mol H, 1mol S, and 4mol O. In every empirical question you need to divide each quantity of moles by the lowest number. In this case, that number is one, so they stay the same, but it's important to remember that step. You're final chemical formula would be H2SO4 and the answer to your question would be that the subscript for oxygen is 4. Hope this helped!

  • Left to Right<u> </u>

<u>Chemistry</u>

<u>Atomic Structure</u>

  • Reading a Periodic Table

<u>Stoichiometry</u>

  • Using Dimensional Analysis
<h3>Explanation:</h3>

<u>Step 1: Define</u>

3.77 mol K₃N

<u>Step 2: Identify Conversions</u>

Molar Mass of K - 39.10 g/mol

Molar Mass of N - 14.01 g/mol

Molar Mass of K₃N - 3(39.10) + 14.01 = 131.31 g/mol

<u>Step 3: Convert</u>

  1. Set up:                       \displaystyle 3.77 \ mol \ K_3N(\frac{131.31 \ g \ K_3N}{1 \ mol \ K_3N})
  2. Multiply/Divide:         \displaystyle 495.039 \ g \ K_3N

<u>Step 4: Check</u>

<em>Follow sig fig rules and round. We are given 3 sig figs.</em>

495.039 g K₃N ≈ 495 g K₃N

How many liters of 4.0 M NaOH solution will react with 0.60 liters 3.0 M H2SO4?
slava [35]

Answer:

A. 0.90 L.

Explanation:

  • NaOH solution will react with H₂SO₄ according to the balanced reaction:

<em>H₂SO₄ + 2NaOH → Na₂SO₄ + 2H₂O.</em>

<em>1.0 mole of H₂SO₄ reacts with 2.0 moles of NaOH.</em>

  • For NaOH to react completely with H₂SO₄, the no. of millimoles should be equal.

<em>∴ (MV) NaOH = (xMV) H₂SO₄.</em>

x for H₂SO₄ = 2, due to having to reproducible H⁺ ions.

<em>∴ V of NaOH = (xMV) H₂SO₄/ M of NaOH</em> = 2(0.6 L)(3.0 M)/(4.0 M) = <em>0.90 L.</em>

zvonat [6]

Answer:

Controlling the environment is the most key procedures for getting good results.

Explanation:

The control environment for an experiment is the essential part for getting good results. In control environment, there is no or less chances of disruption

from the external environment which can cause the results of the data more acceptable. So the scientists prefers laboratory for performing experiment as compared to outer environment. So in my opinion for getting better results, the control environment is the most necessary experimental procedure.
