Answer:

Ag_2SO_4

Explanation:

Formula for the calculation of no. of Mol is as follows:

mol=\frac{mass\ (g)}{molecular\ mass}

Molecular mass of Ag = 107.87 g/mol

Amount of Ag = 5.723 g

mol\ of\ Ag=\frac{5.723\ g}{107.87\ g/mol} =0.05305\ mol

Molecular mass of S = 32 g/mol

Amount of S = 0.852 g

mol\ of\ S=\frac{0.852\ g}{32\ g/mol} =0.02657\ mol

Molecular mass of O = 16 g/mol

Amount of O = 1.695 g

mol\ of\ O=\frac{1.695\ g}{16\ g/mol} =0.10594\ mol

In order to get integer value, divide mol by smallest no.

Therefore, divide by 0.02657

Ag, \frac{0.05305}{0.02657} \approx 2

S, \frac{0.02657}{0.02657} \approx 1

O, \frac{0.10594}{0.02657} \approx 4

Therefore, empirical formula of the compound = Ag_2SO_4

Answer:

The empirical formula is Ag2SO4

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

A compound contains Ag, S and O

Mass of Ag = 5.723 grams

Mass of S = 0.852 grams

Mass of O = 1.695 grams

Molar mass of Ag = 107.87 g/mol

Molar mass of S = 32.065 g/mol

Molar mass of O = 16 g/mol

Total mass = Mass of Ag + mass of S + mass of O = 5.723g + 0.852g + 1.695g = 8.27 grams

Step 2: Calculate moles

Moles = mass / molar mass

Moles of Ag = 5.723 grams / 107.87 g/mol = 0.05305 moles

Moles S = 0.852 grams / 32.065 g/mol = 0.0266 moles

Moles O = 1.695 grams / 16.00 g/mol = 0.1059 moles

Step 3: Calculate mole ratio

We divide by the smallest amount of moles

Ag: 0.05305/0.0266 = 2

S: 0.0266/0.0266 = 1

O: 0.1059 / 0.0266 = 4

The empirical formula is Ag2SO4

zalisa [80]

Answer:

Calculate the molar concentration of the NaOH solution that you prepared Number of moles of KHP = Number of moles NaOH = 2.476 x 10 -3 moles Number of moles NaOH = Mb x Vb Mb = 2.476 x 10 -3 moles / 0.0250 L (equivalence point) = 0.0990 M 3

In this experiment, 0.070 g of caffeine is dissolved in 4.0 ml of water. The caffeine is then extracted from the aqueous solutio
Damm [24]

2.0ml of methylene chloride solution is used each time to extract caffeine from the aqueous solution.  

Consider the concentration of caffeine obtained during each individual extraction from the aqueous solution to be C.  

The total amount of caffeine obtained during each extraction is calculated as

(Total volume of water used to make up the caffeine aqueous solution) x (concentration of caffeine obtained during each individual extraction from the aqueous solution) + (Volume of methylene chloride added during each extraction x distribution coefficient of caffeine x concentration of caffeine obtained during each individual extraction from the aqueous solution)  


Substituting these values we get                                                            

The total amount of caffeine obtained during each extraction                

 = (4.0×C )+ (2.0×4.6 × C)                                                                              

= 13.2 C


The amount of caffeine remaining in the aqueous solution is calculated as  

(Total volume of water used to make up the caffeine aqueous solution) x (concentration of caffeine obtained during each individual extraction from the aqueous solution)


Substituting these values we get                                                            

The amount of caffeine remaining in the aqueous solution = 4 × C                                                                                            

The fraction of caffeine remaining in aqueous solution is calculated as  

= (The total amount of caffeine obtained during each extraction)/ (The amount of caffeine remaining in the aqueous solution)                    

=4.0 C/13.2 C                                                                                                

= 1/3.3.  

Therefore the fraction of caffeine left in aqueous solution after 3 extractions is =(1/3.3)^3  =0.028

Therefore, the total amount of caffeine extracted                            

=0.070 × (1-(1/3.3)^3)                                                                                      

= 0.068 g
