Answer:

The empirical formula is Li2CO3

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Suppose the mass of the compound = 100 grams

The compound contains :

18.7% Li = 18.7 grams of Li

16.3 % C = 16.3 grams of C

65.0% O = 65.0 grams of O

Total = 100%

Molar mass of Li = 6.94 g/mol

Molar mass of C = 12.01 g/mol

Molar mass of O = 16 g/mol

Step 2: Calculate moles

Moles = Mass / molar mass

Moles Li = 18.7 grams / 6.94 g/mol = 2.65 moles

Moles C = 16.3 grams / 12.01 = 1.36 moles

Moles O = 65.0 grams / 16.0 g/mol = 4.06 moles

Step 3: Calculate the mol ratio

We divide by the smallest number of moles

Li: 2.65/1.36 ≈ 2

C: 1.36/1.36 = 1

O: 4.06/1.36 ≈ 3

The empirical formula is Li2CO3

A 10 mm Brinell hardness indenter is used for some hardness testing measurements of a steel alloy. a) Compute the HB of this mat
Lady_Fox [76]

Explanation:

(a)  The given data is as follows.  

         Load applied (P) = 1000 kg

         Indentation produced (d) = 2.50 mm

         BHI diameter (D) = 10 mm

Expression for Brinell Hardness is as follows.

                HB = \frac{2P}{\pi D [D - \sqrt{(D^{2} - d^{2})}]}    

Now, putting the given values into the above formula as follows.

                HB = \frac{2P}{\pi D [D - \sqrt{(D^{2} - d^{2})}]}                            = \frac{2 \times 1000 kg}{3.14 \times 10 mm [D - \sqrt{((10 mm)^{2} - (2.50)^{2})}]}  

                       = \frac{2000}{9.98}                          

                       = 200

Therefore, the Brinell HArdness is 200.

(b)     The given data is as follows.

               Brinell Hardness = 300

                Load (P) = 500 kg

               BHI diameter (D) = 10 mm

             Indentation produced (d) = ?

                      d = \sqrt{(D^{2} - [D - \frac{2P}{HB} \pi D]^{2})}

                         = \sqrt{(10 mm)^{2} - [10 mm - \frac{2 \times 500 kg}{300 \times 3.14 \times 10 mm}]^{2}}

                          = 4.46 mm

Hence, the diameter of an indentation to yield a hardness of 300 HB when a 500-kg load is used is 4.46 mm.
