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)

1. What pressure would be exerted by 46.0grams of hydrogen gas placed into a 3.00 L container at
dlinn [17]

Answer:

187.34 atm

Explanation:

From the question,

PV = nRT.................. Equation 1

Where P = Pressure, V = Volume, n = number of mole, R = molar gas constant, T = Temperature.

make P the subject of the equation

P = nRT/V.............. Equation 2

n = mass(m)/molar mass(m')

n = m/m'............... Equation 3

Substitute equation 3 into equation 2

P = (m/m')RT/V............ Equation 4

Given: m = 46 g, T = 25°C = (25+273) = 298 K, V = 3.00 L

Constant: m' = 2 g/mol, R = 0.082 atmL/K.mol

Substitute these values into equation 4

P = (46/2)(0.082×298)/3

P = (23×0.082×298)/3

P = 187.34 atm

3. Explain the relationship between power, energy and time.
likoan [24]
There is a very simple relationship between the three. First off, power is the amount of energy used over a certain amount of time. Energy is the capacity of carrying out that power. Lastly, time depends on how much energy you have to exert the work.

Hope this helps :)
