Percent composition is mass of element over mass of compound times 100. 6.41 + 9.60 = 16.01 g of compound, so % composition of sulfur is 6.41/16.01 x100 or 40.0%. % oxygen is 9.60/16.01 x 100 or 60.0%.

Calculate the mass in grams of 2.56 × 10 −3 mol of iron.
gizmo_the_mogwai [7]

Answer:

1.43 grams

Explanation:

Fe = 55.8 grams Fe = 1 mole Fe

2.56 • 10^-3 moles Fe / 1 • 55.8 grams Fe / 1 mole Fe = 1.43 grams Fe

Basically, you're just multiplying the molar mass of Fe (iron) by the moles of 2.56 • 10^-3 Fe, to find how many grams are in it.

2.56 • 10^-3 moles Fe = 1.43 grams Fe

vitfil [10]
[Co(CN)₆]³⁻ → Yellow
[Co(NH₃)₆]³⁺ → Orange
[CoF₆]³⁻ → Blue
Explanation:
- All the given compounds have octahedral geometry but the ligand in each are different with the same metal ion.

- Ligands strength order:     CN⁻ > NH₃ > F⁻ 

- The ligand CN will act as a strong field ligand so that the splitting is maximum when compared to NH₃ and F⁻

- If the splitting is more, the energy required for transition is more, and the wavelength is inversely proportional to energy.

- So CN complex will absorb at lower wavelength (yellow color)
