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)

A student ran the following reaction in the laboratory at 311 K:CH4(g) + CCl4(g) 2CH2Cl2(g)When she introduced 4.10×10-2 moles o
statuscvo [17]

<u>Answer:</u> The value of K_{eq} is 0.044

<u>Explanation:</u>

We are given:

Initial moles of methane = 4.10\times 10^{-2}mol=0.0410moles

Initial moles of carbon tetrachloride = 6.51\times 10^{-2}mol=0.0651moles

Volume of the container = 1.00 L

Concentration of a substance is calculated by:

\text{Concentration}=\frac{\text{Number of moles}}{\text{Volume}}

So, concentration of methane = \frac{0.0410}{1.00}=0.0410M

Concentration of carbon tetrachloride = \frac{0.0651}{1.00}=0.0651M

The given chemical equation follows:

                    CH_4(g)+CCl_4(g)\rightleftharpoons 2CH_2Cl_2(g)

<u>Initial:</u>          0.0410    0.0651

<u>At eqllm:</u>     0.0410-x   0.0651-x       2x

We are given:

Equilibrium concentration of carbon tetrachloride = 6.02\times 10^{-2}M=0.0602M

Evaluating the value of 'x', we get:

\Rightarrow (0.0651-x)=0.0602\\\\\Rightarrow x=0.0049M

Now, equilibrium concentration of methane = 0.0410-x=[0.0410-0.0049]=0.0361M

Equilibrium concentration of CH_2Cl_2=2x=[2\times 0.0049]=0.0098M

The expression of K_{eq} for the above reaction follows:

K_{eq}=\frac{[CH_2Cl_2]^2}{[CH_4]\times [CCl_4]}

Putting values in above expression, we get:

K_{eq}=\frac{(0.0098)^2}{0.0361\times 0.0603}\\\\K_{eq}=0.044

Hence, the value of K_{eq} is 0.044

A log has a density of .8 g/cm³. What will happen to this log in freshwater, which has a density of 1.0 g/cm³?
Inga [223]

Answer:

The log will float on the water because its density is lower than the liquid, so it will stay at the top due to Archimedes' principle.
