Answer:

Molecular formula → PbSO₄ → Lead sulfate

Option c.

Explanation:

The % percent composition indicates that in 100 g of compound we have:

68.3 g of Pb, 10.6 g of S and  (100 - 68.3 - 10.6) = 21.1 g of O

We divide each element by the molar mass:

68.3 g Pb / 207.2 g/mol = 0.329 moles Pb

10.6 g S / 32.06 g/mol = 0.331 moles S

21.1 g O / 16 g/mol = 1.32 moles O

We divide each mol by the lowest value to determine, the molecular formula

0.329 / 0.329 = 1 Pb

0.331 / 0.329 = 1 S

1.32 / 0.329 = 4 O

Molecular formula → PbSO₄ → Lead sulfate

Answer:

The empirical formula is PbSO4 (option C)

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Suppose the mass of a compound is 100.0 grams

The compound contains:

68.3 % lead = 68.3 grams

10.6 % sulfur = 10.6 grams

Rest = oxygen

Molar mass Pb = 207.2 g/mol

Molar mass S = 32.065 g/mol

Molar mass O = 16.0 g/mol

Step 2: Calculate mass O

MAss O = 100 - 68.3 - 10.6 = 21.1 grams

Step 3: Calculate moles

Moles = mass / molar mass

Moles Pb = 68.3 grams / 207.2 g/mol

Moles Pb = 0.3296 moles

Moles S = 10.6 grams / 32.065 g/mol

Moles S = 0.3306 moles

Moles O = 21.1 grams / 16.0 g/mol

Moles O = 1.319 moles

Step 4: Calculate mol ratio

We divide by the smallest amount of moles

Pb: 0.3296/0.3296 = 1

S: 0.3306/0.3296 = 1

O: 1.319/0.3296 = 4

The empirical formula is PbSO4 (option C)

In the reaction n2 + 3h2 ---> 2nh3, how many grams of nh3 are produced if 25.0 g n2 reacts with excess h2? question 10 option
Lisa [10]
Molar mass of N2 = 28

Moles of N2 = 25 / 28 = 0.89

So, moles of NH3 produce = 2 x 0.89 = 1.78 

Note: H2 is in excess. so no need to care about it.

-You wish to make a 0.203 M hydrochloric acid solution from a stock solution of 6.00 M hydrochloric acid. How much concentrated
lubasha [3.4K]

For all three questions, we will use the fact that

  • molarity = (moles of solute)/(liters of solution)

1) For 175 mL of solution at 0.203 M, this means that:

  • 0.203 = (moles of solute)/0.175
  • moles of solute = 0.035523 mol

Considering the hydrochloric acid solution, if we have 0.035523 mol, then:

  • 6.00 = 0.035523/(liters of solution)
  • liters of solution = 0.035523/6.00 = 0.0059205 = <u>5.92 mL (to 3 sf)</u>

<u />

2) If there is 20.3 mL = 0.0203 L, then:

  • 8.20 = (moles of solute)/0.0203
  • moles of solute = 0.16646 mol

This means that the molarity of the diluted solution is:

  • 0.16646/(0.200) = <u>0.832 M (to 3 sf)</u>

<u />

3) If we need 1.50 L of 0.700 M solution, then:

  • 0.700 = (moles of solute)/1.50
  • moles of solute = 1.05 mol

Considering the 9.36 M acid solution, from which we need 1.05 mol of perchloric acid from,

  • 9.36 = 1.05/(liters of solution)
  • liters of solution = 1.05/9.36, which is 0.11217948717949 L, or <u>112 mL (to 3 sf)</u>

Dafna1 [17]

Answer: Mechanical energy depends on the motion or position of an object.

Explanation:

Mechanical energy is the energy that is possessed by an object due to its motion or due to its position. Mechanical energy can be either kinetic energy (energy of motion) or potential energy (stored energy of position).

True or false: Driving a motor vehicle after taking substances which alter The central nervous system can have side effects whic
Norma-Jean [14]
True, because the substance basically reacts to the nervous system just like the anesthetic. Which can affect your decision making, and you might experience drowsiness, slow reaction time which is very risky for the driver and his/her surroundings.

Hope this helps :)
