Let the total mass of compound is 100g
The mass of each element will be
Al = 22.10 g
P = 25.40 g
O = 52.50 g
In order to determine the molecular formula we will calculate the molar ratio of the given elements
Atomic weight of Al : 27 g/ mol
Atomic weight of P : 3 1g /mol
Atomic weight of O : 16 g /mol
Moles of Al = mass / atomic mass = 22.10 / 27 = 0.819
Moles of P = mass / atomic mass = 25.40/ 31 = 0.819
Moles of O = mass / atomic mass = 52.50/ 16 = 3.28
Now we will divide the moles of each element with the lowest moles obtained to obtain a whole number ratio of moles of each element present
moles of Al = 0.819 / 0.819 = 1
moles of P = 0.819 / 0.819 = 1
moles of O = 3.28 / 0.819 = 4
So the empirical formula will be : AlPO4
It helped be able to look more closely at the the cells
<u>Answer:</u> The molar mass of unknown gas is 367.12 g/mol
<u>Explanation:</u>
Rate of a gas is defined as the amount of gas displaced in a given amount of time.
To calculate the rate of diffusion of gas, we use Graham's Law.
This law states that the rate of effusion or diffusion of gas is inversely proportional to the square root of the molar mass of the gas. The equation given by this law follows the equation:
So,
We are given:
Volume of unknown gas (X) = 1.0 L
Volume of oxygen gas = 1.0 L
Time taken by unknown gas (X) = 105 seconds
Time taken by oxygen gas = 31 seconds
Molar mass of oxygen gas = 32 g/mol
Molar mass of unknown gas (X) = ? g/mol
Putting values in above equation, we get:
Hence, the molar mass of unknown gas is 367.12 g/mol
The solution for the question above is:
C = 0.270
<span>V = 0.0275L </span>
<span>n = ? </span>
<span>Use the molar formula which is: C = n/V </span>
<span>Re-arrange it to: n = CV </span>
<span>n = (0.270)*(0.0275) </span>
<span>n = 0.007425 mols </span>
<span>(more precise) n = 7.425 x 10^-3 mols
</span>
7.425 x 10^-3 mols is the answer.
