Answer:

  • C₂ H₄ O

Explanation:

<u>1) Mass of carbon (C) in 2.190 g of carbon dioxide (CO₂)</u>

  • atomic mass of C: 12.0107 g/mol
  • molar mass of CO₂: 44.01 g/mol
  • Set a proportion: 12.0107 g of C / 44.01 g of CO₂ = x / 2.190 g of CO₂
  • Solve for x:

         x = (12.0107 g of C / 44.01 g of CO₂ ) × 2.190 g of CO₂ = 0.59767 g of C

<u />

<u>2) Mass of hydrogen (H) in 0.930 g of water (H₂O)</u>

  • atomic mass of H: 1.00784 g/mol
  • molar mass of H₂O: 18.01528 g/mol
  • proportion: 2 × 1.00784 g of H / 18.01528 g of H₂O = x / 0.930 g of H₂O
  • Solve for x:

        x = ( 2 × 1.00784 g of H / 18.01528 g of H₂O) × 0.930 g of H₂O = 0.10406 g of H

<u>3) Mass of oxygen (O) in 1.0857 g of pure sample</u>

  • Mass of O = mass of pure sample - mass of C - mass of H
  • Mass of O = 1.0857 g - 0.59767 g - 0.10406 = 0.38397 g O

Round to four decimals: Mass of O = 0.3840 g

<u>4) Mole calculations</u>

Divide the mass in grams of each element by its atomic mass:

  • C: 0.59767 g / 12.0107 g/mol = 0.04976 mol
  • H: 0.10406 g / 1.00784 g/mol = 0.10325 mol
  • O: 0.3840 g / 15.999 g/mol = 0.02400 mol

<u>5) Divide every amount by the smallest value (to find the mole ratios)</u>

  • C: 0.04976 mol / 0.02400 mol = 2.07 ≈ 2
  • H: 0.10325 mol / 0.02400 mol = 4.3 ≈ 4
  • O: 0.02400 mol / 0.02400 mol = 1

Thus the mole ratio is 2 : 4 : 1, and the empirical formula is:

Short note of modern periodic table
Sveta_85 [38]

Hi

In the modern periodic table, the elements are arranged in the order of their increasing atomic number. In the modern periodic table, there are seven horizontal rows called periods and eighteen vertical columns (1 to 18) called groups. The arrangement of the periods and groups results in formation of boxes.

The equilibrium constant, Kc, for the following reaction is 77.5 at 600 K. CO(g) Cl2(g) COCl2(g) Calculate the equilibrium conce
Margarita [4]

Answer:

[CO] = 0.078M

[Cl2] = 0.078M

[COCl2] = 0.477M

Explanation:

Based on the reaction:

CO(g) Cl2(g) ⇄ COCl2(g)

<em>Where equilibrium constant, kc, is:</em>

kc = 77.5 = [COCl2] / [CO] [Cl2]

[] represents the equilibrium concentration of each gas. The initial concentration of each gas is:

[CO] = 0.555mol/1.00L = 0.555M

[Cl2] = 0.555M

And equilibrium concentrations are:

[CO] = 0.555M - x

[Cl2] = 0.555M - x

[COCl2] = x

<em>Where x is reaction coordinate</em>

Replacing in kc expression:

77.5 = [x] / [0.555M - x] [0.555M - x]

77.5 = x / 0.308025 - 1.11 x + x²

23.8719 - 86.025 x + 77.5 x² = x

23.8719 - 87.025 x + 77.5 x² = 0

x = 0.477M. Right answer

x = 0.646M. False answer. Produce negative concentrations

Replacing:

<h3>[CO] = 0.555M - 0.477M = 0.078M</h3><h3>[Cl2] = 0.078M</h3><h3>[COCl2] = 0.477M</h3>

And those concentrations are the equilibrium concentrations

What is the oxidation state of cr in CrPO4 and Cr3(PO4)2?
soldi70 [24.7K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Oxidation state of Cr in CrPO₄

As a general rule, the algebraic sum of all the oxidation numbers of all atoms in a neutral compound is zero.

The compound above is in its neutral state and we sum all the oxidation numbers and equate to zero:

The oxidation number of P is -2

                                           O is -2

Let the oxidation number of Cr be x:

                              x + (-2) + 4(-2) = 0

                              x -2-8 = 0

                               x -10 = 0

                                x = +10

For Cr in Cr₃(PO₄)₂

         Using the same rule:

        2(x) + 2[-2 + 4(-2)] = 0

           2x + 2(-2-8) = 0

            2x -20 = 0

                x = +10

Answer:

Warm front

Explanation:

A warm front forms when a warm air mass pushes into a cooler air mass, shown in the image to the right (A). Warm fronts often bring stormy weather as the warm air mass at the surface rises above the cool air mass, making clouds and storms. Warm fronts move more slowly than cold fronts because it is more difficult for the warm air to push the cold, dense air across the Earth's surface. Warm fronts often form on the east side of low-pressure systems where warmer air from the south is pushed north.

You will often see high clouds like cirrus, cirrostratus, and middle clouds like altostratus ahead of a warm front. These clouds form in the warm air that is high above the cool air. As the front passes over an area, the clouds become lower, and rain is likely. There can be thunderstorms around the warm front if the air is unstable.

On weather maps, the surface location of a warm front is represented by a solid red line with red, filled-in semicircles along it, like in the map on the right (B). The semicircles indicate the direction that the front is moving. They are on the side of the line where the front is moving. Notice on the map that temperatures at ground level are cooler in front of the front than behind it.
