Answer:

2. It is the simplest ratio of atoms in a formula unit.

Explanation:

The empirical formula refers to how to provide the minimum proportion in which chemical elements combine into one substance. Sometimes it may happen that the minimum formula is equal to the molecular formula of the compound; However, this is not always true. In short, the empirical formula refers to the simplest ratio of atoms in a unit of formula.

For example, the empirical or minimal formula of water is H2O, indicating that there is a 2: 1 ratio between the elements that make up water molecules. And, coincidentally, this is also the molecular formula of water.

2) Will all atoms behave exactly the same when the temperature is changed?

Butoxors [25]

no...the atoms will not behave the same

as when temperature is increased, the atoms vibration and kinetic energy will also be increased....they come in excited state...

where as when temperature is reduced ,atoms kinetic energy slows down....

For the following reaction, 38.3 grams of sulfuric acid are allowed to react with 33.5 grams of calcium hydroxide sulfuric acid(

Likurg_2 [28]

Answer:

What is the maximum amount of calcium sulfate that can be formed? 53.1 grams CaSO4

What is the FORMULA for the limiting reagent? H2SO4

What amount of the excess reagent remains after the reaction is complete? 4.59 grams of Ca(OH)2

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Mass of sulfuric acid = 38.3 grams

Molar mass of H2SO4 = 98.08 g/mol

Mass of calcium hydroxide = 33.5 grams

Molar mass of Ca(OH)2 = 74.09 g/mol

Step 2: The balanced equation

H2SO4 + Ca(OH)2 → CaSO4 + 2H2O

Step 3: Calculate moles of H2SO4

moles H2SO4 = mass H2SO4 / molar mass H2SO4

moles H2SO4 = 38.3 grams / 98.08 g/mol

moles H2SO4 = 0.390 moles

Step 4: Calculate moles of Ca(OH)2

moles Ca(OH)2 = 33.5 grams / 74.09 g/mol

moles Ca(OH)2 =0.452 moles

Step 5: Calculate limiting reactant

For 1 mol H2SO4, we need 1 mol of Ca(OH)2 to produce, 1 mol of CaSO4 and 2 mol of H2O

H2SO4 is the limiting reactant. It will completely be consumed (0.390 moles).

Ca(OH)2 is in excess. There will be consumed 0.390 moles

There will remain 0.452 - 0.390 = 0.062 moles

This is 0.062 * 74.09 g/mol = 4.59 grams

Step 6: Calculate moles of calcium sulfate

For 1 mol H2SO4, we need 1 mol of Ca(OH)2 to produce, 1 mol of CaSO4 and 2 mol of H2O

For 0.390 moles of H2SO4, there will be produced 0.390 moles of CaSO4

Step 7: Calculate mass of CaSO4

Mass CaSO4 = moles CaSO4 * molar mass CaSO4

Mass CaSO4 = 0.390 moles * 136.14 g/mol

Mass of CaSO4 = 53.1 grams

In an ion with an unknown charge, the total mass of all the electrons was determined to be 2.19 ✕ 10−26 g, while the total mass

Ilya [14]

Answer:

$\large \boxed{\text{Fe$^{{2+}}$}}$

Explanation:

1. Number of electrons

$\text{Number of electrons} = 2.19 \times 10^{-26}\text{ g} \times \dfrac{\text{1 electron}}{9.109 \times 10^{-28}\text{ g}} = \text{24 electrons}$

2. Number of protons

$\text{Number of protons} = 4.34 \times 10^{-23}\text{ g} \times \dfrac{\text{1 proton}}{1.673 \times 10^{-24}\text{ g}} = \text{26 protons}$

3. Identify the ion

An atom with 26 protons is iron, Fe.

A neutral atom of iron would have 26 electrons.

The ion has only 24 electrons, so it has lost two. The ion must have a charge of +2.

$\text{The symbol for the ion is $\large \boxed{\textbf{Fe$^{\mathbf{2+}}$}}$}$
