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)

When the volume of a gas is
Cerrena [4.2K]

Answer:

THE NEW VOLUME OF THE GAS IS 406 mL WHEN THE TEMPERATURE CHANGES FROM 765 K TO 315 K.

Explanation:

When the temperature changes from  765 K to 315K, the volume has changed from 986 mL to?

V1 = 986 mL = 0.986 L

T1 = 765 K

T2 = 315 K

V2 = unknown

Using Charles' equation of gas laws;

V1 / T1 = V2 / T2

Making V2 the subject of the formula:

V2 = V1 T2 / T1

V2 = 0.986 * 315 / 765

V2 = 0.406 L

V2 = 406 mL

So therefore, the volume of a gas changes from 986 mL to 406 mL as a result of a change in temperature from 765 K to 315 K.
