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)

Answer:

The equation to show the the correct form to show the standard molar enthalpy of formation:

\frac{1}{2}H_2(g) +\frac{1}{2}Br_2(l)\rightarrow HBr(g) ,\Delta H_{f}^o= -36.29 kJ

Explanation:

The standard enthalpy of formation or standard heat of formation of a compound is the change of enthalpy during the formation of 1 mole of the substance from its constituent elements, with all substances in their standard states.

Given, that 1 mole of H_2 gas and 1 mole of Br_2 liquid gives 2 moles of HBr gas as a product.The reaction releases 72.58 kJ of heat.

H_2(g) + Br_2(l)\rightarrow 2HBr(g) ,\Delta H_{f}^o= -72.58kJ

Divide the equation by 2.

\frac{1}{2}H_2(g) +\frac{1}{2}Br_2(l)\rightarrow HBr(g) ,\Delta H_{f}^o= -36.29 kJ

The equation to show the the correct form to show the standard molar enthalpy of formation:

\frac{1}{2}H_2(g) +\frac{1}{2}Br_2(l)\rightarrow HBr(g) ,\Delta H_{f}^o= -36.29 kJ

MatroZZZ [7]

Answer:

a) rate law1 = k[NO2]²

b) rate law2 = k[NO][O3]

Explanation:

NO2(g) + CO(g) → NO(g) + CO2(g)

NO(g) + O3(g) → NO2(g) + O2(g)

When [NO2] in reaction 1 is doubled, the reaction quadruples

Rxn is second order.

rate law1= [NO2]^a [CO]^b

rate law1= [NO2]² [CO]^0

rate law1 = k[NO2]²

When [NO] in reaction 2 is doubled, the rate doubles.

Rxn is first order

The ratio is 1:1

this makes the rate law2 = k[NO][O3]

Phoenix [80]

Answer : The number-average molecular weight is, 97500 g/mol

Explanation :

First we have to calculate the molecular weight of isobutylene and isoprene.

The molecular formula of isobutylene and isoprene is, C_4H_8 and C_5H_8

Molecular weight of C_4H_8 = 4(12 g//mol) + 8(1 g/mol) = 56 g/mol

Molecular weight of C_5H_8 = 5(12 g//mol) + 8(1 g/mol) = 68 g/mol

Now we have to calculate the average repeat molecular weight.

Average repeat molecular weight = 0.25\times (56g/mol)+(1-0.25)\times (68g/mol)

Average repeat molecular weight = 65 g/mol

Now we have to calculate the number-average molecular weight.

Number-average molecular weight = Average repeat molecular weight × Degree of polymerization

Number-average molecular weight = (65 g/mol) × (1500)

Number-average molecular weight = 97500 g/mol

Thus, the number-average molecular weight is, 97500 g/mol
