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)

Copper has a density of 8.96 g/cm3. If 75.0 g of copper is added to 50.0 mL of water in a graduated cylinder, to what volume rea
Tcecarenko [31]

Answer:

The answer to your question is    Final volume = 58.37 ml

Explanation:

Data

density = 8.96 g/cm³

mass = 75 g

volume of water = 50 ml

Process

1.- Calculate the volume of copper

  Density = mass / volume

Solve for volume

  Volume = mass / density

Substitution

  Volume = 75/8.96

Simplification

  Volume = 8.37cm³    or 8.37 cm³

2.- Calculate the new volume of water in the graduated cylinder

  Final volume = 50 + 8.37

  Final volume = 58.37 ml

Aqueous solutions of isopropyl alcohol are commonly sold as rubbing alcohol. The boiling point of isopropyl alcohol is 82.4 °C.
Monica [59]

Answer:

This is due to more hydrogen bonding in ethylene glycol than it is in isopropyl alcohol

Explanation:

The boiling point of isopropyl alcohol is 82.4 °C it contains only a single OH group, hence intermolecular hydrogen bonding is solely responsible for it's boiling point, whereas Ethylene glycol (CH2OHCH2OH) contains 2-OH group and both intermolecular and intramolecular hydrogen bonding are responsible for the higher boiling point of ethylene glycol at 198 °C.
