A mineral sample is obtained from a region of the country that has high arsenic contamination. An elemental analysis yields the

Gnesinka [82]

Answer:

CaAsHO₄

Explanation:

The data has a mistake in one of the values there. I believe the mistake is on the hydrogen. So, I'm going to assume the value of Hydrogen is 0.6%, so the total percent composition would be 100.1% (Something better). All you have to do is replace the correct value of H (or the value with the mistaken option) and do the same procedure.

Now, to calculate the empirical formula, we can do this in three steps.

Step 1. Calculate the amount in moles of each element.

In these case, we just divide the percent composition with the molar mass of each one of them:

Ca: 22.3 / 40.078 = 0.5564

As: 41.6 / 74.9216 = 0.5552

O: 35.6 / 15.9994 = 2.2251

H: 0.6 / 1.00794 = 0.5953

Now that we have done this, let's calculate the ratio of mole of each of them. This is doing dividing the smallest number of mole between each of the moles there. In this case, the moles of As are the smallest so:

Ca: 0.5564/0.5552 = 1.0022

As: 0.5552/0.5552 = 1

O: 2.2251/0.5552 = 4.0077

H: 0.5953/0.5552 = 1.0722

Now, we round those numbers, and that will give us the number of atoms of each element in the empirical formula

Step 3. Write the empirical formula with the rounded numbers obtained

In this case we will have:

Ca: 1

As: 1

O: 4

H: 1

The empirical formula would have to be:

CaAsHO₄

What is the molarity of the solution formed by mixing 0.20mol of sodium hydroxide with enough water to make 150 ml of solution?

bixtya [17]

Molarity is defined as the number of moles of solute in 1 L of solution
number of NaOH moles present - 0.20 mol
volume of solution - 150 mL
since molarity is taken as number moles of solute in 1000 mL
if 150 mL contains - 0.20 mol
then 1000 mL should contain - 0.20 / 150 x 1000 = 1.33 mol
therefore molarity is 1.33 M

100 POINTS! HELP ME IF YOU LOVE JESUS!

mr Goodwill [35]

I only got 50 points (which is not 100). :-)

Look at the graph. At 80 °C, about 38 g of solute is able to dissolve, and that’s for ever 100 g of water. That means that for every 150 grams of water, 57 grams of solute can dissolve (38/2 = 19 + 38 = 57 g) at 80 °C. Since 57 g is greater than 55 g, all for he sodium chloride should dissolve in 150 g of water at 80 °C - you can put all of that into a “mathematical explanation”.
