A dark brown binary compound contains oxygen and a metal. It is 13.38% oxygen by mass. Heating it moderately drives off some of

the oxygen and gives a red binary compound that is 9.334% oxygen by mass. Strong heating drives off more oxygen and gives still another binary compound, which is only 7.168% oxygen by mass.
(a) Compute the mass of oxygen that is combined with 1.000 g of the metal in each of these three oxides.
(b) Assume that the empirical formula of the first compound is MO2 (where M represents the metal). Give the empirical formulas of the second and third compounds.
(c) Name the metal.

Answer:

a) Mass of O in compound A = 32.72 g

Mass of O in compound B =  21.26 g

Mass of O in compound C = 15.94 g

b) Compound A = MO2

Compound B = M3O4

Compound C = MO

c) M = Pb

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

A binairy compound contains oxygen (O) and metal (M)

⇒ 13.38 % O

⇒ 100 - 13.38 = 86.62 % M

After heating we get another binairy compound

⇒ 9.334 % O

⇒ 100 - 9.334 = 90.666 % M

After heating we get another binairy compound

⇒ 7.168 % O

⇒ 100 - 7.168 = 92.832 % M

The first compound has an empirical formula of MO2

⇒ 1 mol M for 2 moles O

Step 2: Calculate amount of metal and oxygen in each

compound A:   M  = m1 *0.8662    O = m1 *0.1338

compound B:   M  = m2 *0.90666    O = m2 *0.09334

compound C:   M  = m3 *0.92832    O = m3 *0.07168

Step 3: Calculate mass of oxygen with 1.000 grams of M

Compound A: 1.000g * 0.1338 m1gO  / 0.8662m1gMetal = 0.1545

Compound B: 1.000g * 0.09334 m2gO  / 0.90666m2gMetal = 0.1029

Compound C: 1.000g * 0.07168 m3gO  / 0.92832m3gMetal = 0.07721

Step 4:

1 mol MO2 has 1 mol M and 2 moles O

m1 = (mol O * 16)/0.1338   m1 = 239.2 grams

1 mol M = 0.8632*239.2 = 206.48

0.90666m2 = 206.48  ⇒ m2 = 227.74 g

0.92832m3 = 206.48  ⇒ m3 = 222.42 g

Step 5: Calculate mass of O

Mass of O in compound A = 239.2 - 206.48 = 32.72 g

Mass of O in compound B = 227.74 - 206.48 = 21.26 g

Mass of O in compound C = 222.42- 206.48 = 15.94 g

Step 6: Calculate moles

Moles of O in compound A ≈ 2

⇒ MO2

Moles of O in compound B = 21.26 / 16 ≈ 1.33

⇒ M3O4

Moles of O compound C = 15.94 /16 ≈ 1 moles

⇒ MO

Step 7: Calculate molar mass

The mass of 1 mol metal is 206.48 grams  ⇒ molar mass ≈ 206.48 g/mol

The closest metal to this molar mass is lead (Pb)

Write a 125 word summary of what you have learned in "Introducing the Microscope". Be sure to include steps on how to focus, how
Rina8888 [55]

Answer:

Introduction to Basic Microscopy. Microscopes are specialized optical instruments designed to produce magnified visual or photographic (including digital) images of objects or specimens that are too small to be seen with the naked eye.

Microscope are the important tools which are used by scientist. For example, in material science, medicine, mineralogy and microbiology.

Light microscope is able to send light. Light is being focused in a tight breath whereby that light passes through a sample which later it is able to create an image. This image passes to different lenses which magnifies it until it reaches the camera.

There are different types of microscope for example, Compound light microscope, Simple light microscope, and monocular microscope.

In simple light microscope only one lens which which is being used to magnify an object and it is not able to reach to a higher magnification.

In compound light microscope it uses two lenses to produce image. For example eyepiece lens and objective lens.

Why is the structure of a molecule important to its function
Scilla [17]

Answer:

It determines how biological molecules recognize and respond to one another with specificity.

Explanation:

A molecule has a characteristic size and shape. The precise shape of a molecule is usually very important to its function in the living cell. Molecular shape is crucial in biology because it determines how biological molecules recognize and respond to one another with specificity.
