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)

17. Which of the following describes a condition in which an individual would not hear an echo?
ivanzaharov [21]
<span>The right answer is D. In a situation where the sound wave reaches the ear and the reflected wave reaches the ear less than 0.1 seconds later, the individual would not be able to hear an echo. There needs to a far more significant delay between the sound and the reflection of said sound reaching the listener's ear for the echo effect to become apparent.</span>

Now examine salts containing the halide anions, cl- and br-. Most of these are soluble. What two cations listed lead to insolubl
tatiyna

Ag+ and Pb+2 are two cations that are suggested as producing insoluble halide salts when studying salts containing the halide anions, cl- and br-. First, the charge's number is provided.

Neutral binary salts, also referred to as halide salts, are mixtures of metals and non-metals. The non-metal behaves in a reduced oxidation state at all times. They are the outcome of mixing a hydroxide and hydracid. halide salts of haloids are produced by the reaction of a hydroxide and a hydracid.

Ions are cations with positive charges. They emerge when the electrons of an elemental metal are lost. However, they don't lose any protons; they only lose one or more electrons. To denote a cation, the charge is superscripted following the element name or chemical formula.

pishuonlain [190]

Percent yield = (Actual Yield/ Theoretical Yield) x 100

Given, Actual Yield of silver = 410 grams

Given, mass of copper = 127 g

Atomic mass of copper = 63.546 amu

Formula: Moles = mass / atomic mass

Moles of copper = 127 g/ 63.546 amu = 1.998 mol

Based on the given balanced chemical reaction, the molar ratio between Cu: Ag is 1:2

So 1.998 mol of copper should yield (2 mol Ag/ 1 mol Cu) x 1.998 mol of Cu = 3.996 mol

Calculated mol of Ag = 3.996 mol

Atomic mass of silver = 107.8682 amu

Mass of silver = moles x atomic mass = 3.996 mol x 107.8682 amu = 431 g

Based on the math, the theoretical yield = 431 g

Percent yield of silver = (410g/431g) x 100 = 95. 13%

The answer is 95. 13%
