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)

What causes the difference in bond angles in carbon dioxide and water?
egoroff_w [7]

Answer is: C) the fact that the number of lone pairs of electrons on the central atom is greater in the case of water.

Carbon(IV) oxide is nonpolar because CO₂ is linear molecule and the oxygen atoms are symmetrical (bond angles 180°).

Water is polar because of the bent shape of the molecule.

Oxygen atom in water molecule has sp3 hybridization. The bond angle between the two hydrogen atoms is approximately 104.45°.

Oxygen atom has atomic number 8, it means it has eight protons and eight electrons, so atom has neutral charge. Oxygen is a nonmetal.

Electron configuration of oxygen atom: ₈O 1s² 2s² 2p⁴.

Oxygen atom has six valence electrons , two lone pairs and two electrons that form two sigma bonds with hydrogen atoms.

Carbon is a chemical element with symbol C and atomic number 6, which means it has 6 protons and six electrons. Four valence electrons are in 2s and 2p orbitals.  

Electron configuration of carbon atom: ₆C 1s² 2s² 2p².  

In carbon dioxide, carban has sp hybridization with no lone pairs.

How many grams of glucose are needed to prepare 144.3 mL of a 1.4%(m/v) glucose solution?
Montano1993 [528]

Answer:

2.0202 grams

Explanation:

1.4% (m/v) glucose solution means: 1.4g glucose/100mL solution.

so ?g glucose = 144.3 mL soln

Now apply the conversion factor, and you have:

?g glucose = 144.3mL soln x (1.4g glucose/100mL soln).

so you have (144.3x1.4/100) g glucose= 2.0202 grams
