A 1.56 g sample of copper reacts with a mass of oxygen to form 1.95 g of the metal oxide. In another experiment, the molar mass

of the metal oxide is calculated to be 79.545 grams/mol. What is the molecular formula of the metal oxide?

Answer:

The molecular formula of the metal oxide is CuO

Explanation:

Molar mass 79.545 g/m belongs to CuO

This is the reaction:

2Cu(s) + O₂(g) → 2CuO (s)

2 mol of Cu produce 2 mol of CuO

Molar mass Cu = 63.5 g/m

Mass / Molar mass = 1.56 g / 63.5 g/m →0.0245 m

0.0245 mol of Cu produce 0.0245 mole of CuO

Molar mass CuO = 79.545 g/m

Mol . Molar mass = mass

0.0245 m . 79.545 g/m = 1.95 g

Which substance in each of the following pairs would you expect to have the higher boiling point? Explain why.
satela [25.4K]

Explanation:

Boiling point is defined as the temperature when the vapor pressure of liquid becomes equal to the atmospheric pressure surrounding the liquid. And, during this temperature liquid state of substance changes into vapor state.

More stronger is the presence of intermolecular forces within the molecules of a compound more heat is required by it to break the bond. Hence, boiling point will also increase.

(a)  As both Ne and Xe are noble gases and has intermolecular dispersion forces. But as the atomic size of Xe is more than the atomic size of Ne and we know that dispersion forces increases with increase in size.

Hence, boiling point of Xe will be more than the boiling point of Ne.

(b)   Both CO_{2} and CS_{2} are non-polar in nature with intermolecular dispersion forces. So, more is the molecular weight of a compound more heat will be required by it in order to break the bonds.

As molecular weight of CS_{2} is more than the molecular weight of CO_{2}. Hence, CS_{2}  will have high boiling point.

(c)  Molecular weight of CH_{4} is 16 g/mol and molecular weight of Cl_{2} is 35 g/mol.

Hence, Cl_{2} will have high boiling point due to the presence of high molecular weight as compared to CH_{4} and more strong dispersion forces.

(d) F_{2} is a covalent compound so, it will also be non-polar in nature. Hence, it has weak intermolecular dispersion forces. On the other hand, LiF is an ionic compound and it has strong intermolecular forces of attraction due to the presence of opposite charges on the combining atoms.

Hence, LiF will have high boiling point as compared to F_{2}.

(e)  Both NH_{3} and PH_{3} are polar molecules in which dipole-dipole forces does exist. Since, nitrogen atom is more electronegative than phosphorous atom so, it will have stronger hydrogen bonding and strong intermolecular forces.

Hence, NH_{3} will have high boiling point as compared to PH_{3}.
