A percent composition analysis yields 46.7% nitrogen and 53.3% oxygen. What is the empirical formula for the compound

1 answer:

6 0

Empirical formula is the simplest ratio of whole numbers of components in a compound
calculating for 100 g of compound
N O
mass 46.7 g 53.3 g
number of moles 46.7 g / 14 g/mol 53.3 g / 16 g/mol
= 3.33 = 3.33
divide by the least number of moles
3.33/ 3.33 = 1.00 3.33/3.33 = 0
number of atoms
N - 1
O - 1
therefore empirical formula is NO

Calculate the molarity of a solution consisting of 25.0 g of KOH in 3.00 L of solution.

melomori [17]

Answer:

0.15M

Explanation:

The equation for molarity is M= n/L. Where "M" is Molarity, "n" is the number of moles of solute, and "L" is the total liters in solution.

You need to calculate the number of moles from the given grams. The molar mass of KOH is (39.098+ 16 +1.008)= 56.106g. To calculate the mols of KOH, $\frac{25.0g}{1}$ × $\frac{1 mol}{56.106g}$ = 0.44558... mol, you see that the grams unit cancel out leaving you with mol as the unit.

The volume is given in L already so no need to do any conversion. M= $\frac{0.4558mol}{3.00L}$ = 0.1485M ≈ 0.15M

At 100 degrees Celsius, the ion product for pure water is Kw= 51.3*10^-14. What is the pOH of water at this temperature? A) 7.00

Levart [38]

7.86 is the pOH of water at this temperature of 100 degrees celsius.

Option E is the right answer.

Explanation:

Data given:

Kw = 51.3 x $10^{-14}$

pOH = ?

we know that pure water is neutral and will have pH pf 7.

The equation for relation between Kw and H+ and OH- ion is given by:

Kw = [H+] [OH-}

here the concentration of H+ ion and OH- ion is equal

so, [H+]= [OH-]

Putting the values in the equation of Kw

pKw = -log[Kw]

pKw = -log [51.3 x $10^{-14}$ ]

pKw = 12.28

since H+ ion OH ion concentration is equal the pH of water is half i.e. 6.14

Now, pOH is calculated by using the equation:

14 = pOH + pH

14- 6.14 = pOH

pOH = 7.86

The mass and volume of each box is given in the chart below. Calculate the density of each box. Density = Mass/ volume which box

stira [4]

Box C will have the greatest density.

All boxes have the same volume.

Explanation:

We calculate the density using the following formula:

density = mass / volume

density of Box A = 10 g / 20 cm³ = 0.5 g/cm³

density of Box B = 30 g / 20 cm³ = 1.5 g/cm³

density of Box C = 170 g / 20 cm³ = 8.5 g/cm³

Box C will have the greatest density.

All boxes have the same volume.
