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

In a solution of pure water, the dissociation of water can be expressed by the following: H2O(l) + H2O(l) ⇌ H3O+(aq) + OH−(aq) T
kakasveta [241]

Answer:

  • [H₃O⁺] = 2.90 × 10⁻¹⁰ M

Explanation:

1)<u><em> Ionization equilibrium equation: given</em></u>

  • H₂O(l) + H₂O(l) ⇌ H₃O⁺(aq) + OH⁻(aq)

2) <em><u>Ionization equilibrium constant, at 25°C, Kw: given</u></em>

  • Kw = 1.0 × 10⁻¹⁴

<u>3) Stoichiometric mole ratio:</u>

As from the ionization equilibrium equation, as from the fact it is stated, the concentration of both ions, at 25°C, are equal:

  • [H₃O⁺(aq)] = [OH⁻(aq)] = 1.0 × 10⁻⁷ M

  • ⇒ Kw = [H3O⁺] [OH⁻] = 1.0 × 10⁻⁷  × 1.0 × 10⁻⁷  = 1.0 × 10⁻¹⁴ M

<u><em>4) A solution has a [OH⁻] = 3.4 × 10⁻⁵ M at 25 °C </em></u><em><u>and you need to calculate what the [H₃O⁺(aq)] is.</u></em>

Since the temperature is 25°, yet the value of Kw is the same, andy you can use these conditions:

  • Kw = 1.0 × 10⁻¹⁴ M², and

  • Kw = [H3O⁺] [OH⁻]

Then you can substitute the known values and solve for the unknown:

  • 1.0 × 10⁻¹⁴ M² = [H₃O⁺] × 3.4 × 10⁻⁵ M

  • ⇒ [H₃O⁺]  = 1.0 × 10⁻¹⁴ M² / ( 3.4 × 10⁻⁵ M ) = 2.9⁻¹⁰ M

As you see, the increase in the molar concentration of the ion [OH⁻] has caused the decrease in the molar concentration of the ion [H₃O⁺], to keep the equilibrium law valid.
