Answer:

CrO2

Explanation:

Firstly, we need to find the mass of the oxygen in the oxide. That is 4.94 - 3.06 = 1.88g

Now, we will need to get the number of moles and this can be obtained by dividing the masses by the atomic mass units. The atomic mass units of chromium and oxygen are 52 and 16 respectively. The division is obtained as follows:

Cr = 3.06/52 = 0.06

O = 1.88/16 = 0.12

We then divide by the smallest, which is that of the chromium.

Cr = 0.06/0.06 = 1

O = 0.12/0.06 = 2

The simplest formula is the empirical formula and it is thus given by CrO2

In a typical mass spectrum, a smaller signal is observed at a mass 1 amu higher than the molecular ion peak. Why
Nina [5.8K]

Answer:

Answer is explained below in the explanation section

Explanation:

Smaller signal is observed at a mass 1 amu because small percentage of the compound will have carbon isotope of 13C instead of 12C.

As we know, mass spectrometry is done as a small compound is first vaporized and then bombarded to ionize it. And then, those ions are accelerated forward and then at some point ions are separated and deflected by the application of magnetic field.

And finally hits the detector to give us a spectrum to read. So, in this whole procedure, there can be a small percentage of carbon isotope of 13C instead of 12C in that compound and showed in the spectrum as a smaller signal at a mass 1 amu.

A reaction in which two ions switch places is which type of reaction?
AURORKA [14]

A reaction in which two ions switch places is called double-displacement reaction.

Explanation:

Double displacement reaction usually takes place between two positive ions or two negative ions. When anions or cations of totally different compounds change places, two totally different compounds are formed.  

<u>Syntax for double displacement reaction: </u>

AB + CD --> AD + BC

It can also be defined in simple terms as the reaction in which exchange of ions takes place is called double displacement reaction.

The chemical reaction is as follows:

NaOH(aq) + HCl(aq)  --> NaCl(aq)  + H2O (l)
