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)

What mass of zinc is needed to react with 23.1g of phosphoric acid according to the following equation?
Hunter-Best [27]

23.01 g of zinc (Zn)

Explanation:

We have the following chemical reaction:

3 Zn + 2 H₃PO₄ = 3 H₂ + Zn₃(PO₄)₂

number of moles = mass / molar weight

number of moles of phosphoric acid = 23.1 / 98 = 0.236 moles

Taking in account the chemical reaction, we devise the following reasoning:

if           2 moles of H₃PO₄ are reacting with 3 moles of Zn

then      0.236 moles of H₃PO₄ are reacting with X moles of Zn

X = (0.236 × 3) / 2 = 0.354 moles of Zn

mass = number of moles × molar weight

mass of Zn = 0.354 × 65 = 23.01 g

Give the name, atomic symbol, and group number of the element with each Z value, and classify it as a metal, metalloid, or nonme
Viktor [21]

Atomic number = 42

Name = Molybdenum

Atomic symbol  = Mo

Group number = VI(B)6

Mo = Metal

How to find all valves of Z=42?

Here, we are going to find out the name, symbol and group numbers element with the following Z value and their classification as a metal, metalloid, or nonmetal.

The atomic number of the element is 42

Therefore, the name of the element is Molybdenum

The atomic symbol of the element is Mo

The group number of  is VI(B)6

Mo is a metal

Hence, the element is  Molybdenum

Which of the following would you except to see in the death of a star that is less than 0.5 solar mass
Ket [755]

B. White Dwarf.

<h3>Explanation</h3>

The star would eventually run out of hydrogen fuel in the core. The core would shrink and heats up. As the temperature in the core increases, some of the helium in the core will undergo the triple-alpha process to produce elements such as Be, C, and O. The triple-alpha process will heat the outer layers of the star and blow them away from the core. This process will take a long time. Meanwhile, a planetary nebula will form.

As the outer layers of gas leave the core and cool down, they become no longer visible. The only thing left is the core of the star. Consider the Chandrasekhar Limit:

Chandrasekhar Limit: 1.4 \;M_\odot.

A star with core mass smaller than the Chandrasekhar Limit will not overcome electron degeneracy and end up as a white dwarf. Most of the outer layer of the star in question here will be blown away already. The core mass of this star will be only a fraction of its 0.5 \;M_\odot, which is much smaller than the Chandrasekhar Limit.

As the star completes the triple alpha process, its core continues to get smaller. Eventually, atoms will get so close that electrons from two nearby atoms will almost run into each other. By Pauli Exclusion Principle, that's not going to happen. Electron degeneracy will exert a strong outward force on the core. It would balance the inward gravitational pull and prevent the star from collapsing any further. The star will not go any smaller. Still, it will gain in temperature and glow on the blue end of the spectrum. It will end up as a white dwarf.

A phosphate buffer solution (25.00 mL sample) used for a growth medium was titrated with 0.1000 M hydrochloric acid. The compone
AysviL [449]

Answer:

0,07448M of phosphate buffer

Explanation:

sodium monohydrogenphosphate (Na₂HP) and sodium dihydrogenphosphate (NaH₂P) react with HCl thus:

Na₂HP + HCl ⇄ NaH₂P + NaCl <em>(1)</em>

NaH₂P + HCl ⇄ H₃P + NaCl <em>(2)</em>

The first endpoint is due the reaction (1), When all phosphate buffer is as NaH₂P form, begins the second reaction. That means that the second endpoint is due the total concentration of phosphate that is obtained thus:

0,01862L of HCl×\frac{0,1000mol}{L}= 1,862x10⁻³moles of HCl ≡ moles of phosphate buffer.

The concentration is:

\frac{1,862x10^{-3}moles}{0,02500L} = <em>0,07448M of phosphate buffer</em>

<em></em>

I hope it helps!

Determine whether or not each mixture is a buffer. check all that apply. check all that apply. koh and nh3 hbr and nacl hcl and
erastova [34]
A buffer is usually composed of either:
- a weak base combined with its conjugate acid, or
- a weak acid combined with its conjugate base

Now, examining each of the choices:
1- KOH and NH3: since they are both bases, thus this mixture is not a buffer
2- HBr and NaCl: since HBr is a strong acid while NaCl is the salt of another different acid, thus this mixture is not a buffer
3- HCl and HBr: these are both considered to be strong acid, thus this mixture is not a buffer
4- HCHO2 and NaCHO2: as for HCH02, it is considered a weak base while NaCHO2 is considered its conjugate base, thus this mixture is a buffer
