Step  one  calculate  the  moles  of  each  element
that  is  moles= %  composition/molar  mass
molar  mass  of    Ca  =  40g/mol,     S=  32  g/mol ,   O=  16 g/mol

moles  of      Ca = 29.4 /40g/mol=0.735 moles,      S= 23.5/32  =0.734 moles,  O= 47.1/16= 2.94   moles

calculate  the mole  ratio  by  dividing   each  mole with  smallest  mole   that   is  0.734
Ca=  0.735/0.734= 1,      S=  0.734/0.734 =1,   O  = 2.94/  0.734= 4
therefore  the  emipical  formula  =  CaSO4

What is the volume of 40.0 grams of argon gas at STP ?
MrRa [10]

Answer:

24.9 L Ar

General Formulas and Concepts:

<u>Atomic Structure</u>

  • Reading a Periodic Table
  • Moles
  • STP (Standard Conditions for Temperature and Pressure) = 22.4 L per mole at 1 atm, 273 K

<u>Aqueous Solutions</u>

  • States of Matter

<u>Stoichiometry</u>

  • Using Dimensional Analysis

Explanation:

<u>Step 1: Define</u>

[Given] 40.0 g Ar

[Solve] L Ar

<u>Step 2: Identify Conversions</u>

[PT] Molar Mass of Ar - 39.95 g/mol

[STP] 22.4 L = 1 mol

<u>Step 3: Convert</u>

  1. [DA] Set up:                                                                                                       \displaystyle 40.0 \ g \ Ar(\frac{1 \ mol \ Ar}{39.95 \ g \ Ar})(\frac{22.4 \ L \ Ar}{1 \ mol \ Ar})
  2. [DA] Divide/Multiply [Cancel out units]:                                                         \displaystyle 24.9235 \ L \ Ar

<u>Step 4: Check</u>

<em>Follow sig fig rules and round. We are given 3 sig figs.</em>

24.9235 L Ar ≈ 24.9 L Ar
