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 are the similarities and differences between living on Earth versus living in space?
alina1380 [7]

Answer:

Differences

• Space is everything in the universe beyond the top of Earth's atmosphere - The moon, Stars, Milky way, etc.

• In space, no one can hear you scream. This is because there is no air in space, i.e, it's vacuum.

• Earth is a planet on solar system. It is the only planet where life exists!!

• Earth is also called "blue sky" cause it has 75% water.

Similarities

•They need oxygen for survival: Man, animals in earth and space need oxygen for survival.

•Water is also need to stay alive.

•Food is very paramount to both man, animal s and organisms.

•Shelter, we all ned a place to lay our head in other to be safe.

•Air everywhere in the atmosphere.

•Water, air, food and shelter are available on earth but their availability differs in space.

•Astronaut need to bring everything one need in space with him or her from Earth. They often recycle the things they bring.

Hope it helps :)

Can anyone help me answer these questions, please?

Crude oil was formed by hydrocarbons or distillate from decaying animal matter migrating to stratigraphic traps like folds in the sedimentary rocks like anticlines which are dome-shaped folds in the rocks. 

In North America, the First Nations used the pitchy tar sands near Fort McMurray to waterproof their canoes long ago before the white man arrived.

In Alberta, the first successful oil well to be drilled was in approximately 1947 called the Leduc well and then oil drilling blossomed from there. Crude oil would be refined to process this oil at that time and broken down into fractions.
Large scale expansion of the oil industry got impetus from the widespread use of automobiles and planes in the early part of the 20th century and then once discoveries like the Leduc well were made, then it became apparent that it was possible to figure out where the oil was and then it blossomed.
In 1907. Leo Baekeland invented bakelite from petroleum ie a polymer. 
Nylon and polyester were developed from petroleum in the 1930's and 1941 respectively.,
In 1865, Edward Roberts, an American discovered that by exploding a torpedo with explosive powder in it in an oil well it could increase the well yield by up to 1200% 
Peak oil is estimated to be very soon between 2010 and 2030 or most likely before 2020 so anytime soon and after that the reserves are expected to diminish. The world should be converting strongly to alternative energy sources the sooner the better especially to prevent the potential pollution of pipelines and oil tankersl

If the concentration of products is increased the equilibrium is shifted from * left to right/ to the left/ right to left /down
Marysya12 [62]

Answer:

to the left

Explanation:

<u>If the concentration of products is increased for a reaction that is in equilibrium, the equilibrium would shift to the left side of the reaction (the reactant's side). </u>

For a reaction that is in equilibrium, the reaction is balanced between the reactants and the products. According to Le Cha telier's  principle, if one of the constraints capable of influencing the rate of reactions is applied to such a reaction that is in equilibrium, the equilibrium would shift so as to neutralize the effects created by the constraint.

<em>Hence, in this case, if the concentration of the products of a reaction in equilibrium is increased, the equilibrium would shift in such a way that more reactants are formed so as to annul the effects created by the increase in the concentration of the products. Since reactants are always on the left side of chemical equations, it thus means that the equilibrium would shift to the left.</em>
