Answer: The chemical formula for potassium sulfite is $K_2SO_3$

Explanation:

We are given a chemical compound having name potassium sulfite. This compound is formed by the combination of potassium ions and sulfite ions.

Potassium is the 19th element of periodic table having electronic configuration of $[Ar]4s^1$ .

This element will loose 1 electron to form $K^{+}$ ion

Sulfite ion is a polyatomic ion having chemical formula of $SO_3^{2-}$

By criss-cross method, the oxidation state of the ions gets exchanged and they form the subscripts of the other ions. This results in the formation of a neutral compound.

Hence, the chemical formula for potassium sulfite is $K_2SO_3$

Answer:

Energy transformation between mechanical energy and electrical energy

Explanation:

Generally, when the copper coil and the iron bar rotate in a circular direction, there is change in the magnetic flux, and as a result an electromotive force (also known as EMF) is generated. The induced electromotive force is the voltage produced due to the presence of magnetic force due to the rotation of the coil and iron bar. Thus, the energy transformation between mechanical energy and electrical energy occurs.

What is the molecular formula of a compound that is 51.02 % carbon, 13.80 % hydrogen, and 35.18 %

elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]

Answer:

Molecular formula = C₄H₁₂O₂

Explanation:

Given data:

Percentage of hydrogen = 13.80%

Percentage of carbon = 51.02%

Percentage of oxygen = 35.18%

Molecular formula = ?

Solution:

Number of gram atoms of H = 13.80 / 1.01 = 13.6

Number of gram atoms of O = 35.18 / 16 = 2.2

Number of gram atoms of C = 51.02 / 12 = 4.25

Atomic ratio:

C : H : O

4.25/2.2 : 13.6/2.2 : 2.2/2.2

2 : 6 : 1

C : H : O = 2 : 6 : 1

Empirical formula is C₂H₆O.

Molecular formula:

Molecular formula = n (empirical formula)

n = molar mass of compound / empirical formula mass

Empirical formula mass = C₂H₆O = 46 g/mol

n = 88 / 46

n = 2

Molecular formula = n (empirical formula)

Molecular formula = 2 (C₂H₆O)

Molecular formula = C₄H₁₂O₂

A different brand of iron tablet was analysed by Hitration with 0.0093 mol.L" potassium

Gre4nikov [31]

The concentration of iron used in the titration : 0.009 M

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

Reaction

Cr₂O₇²⁻ + 6Fe²⁺ + 14H⁺ ⇒ 2Cr³⁺ + 6Fe³⁺ + 7H₂O

0.0093 mol/L potassium dichromate

200 cm³ of dilute acid, 25cm³ was used in the titration.

Required

the concentration of iron

Solution

Titration formula

C₁V₁n₁=C₂V₂n₂⇒ From equation : n₁=6n₂(1=Cr₂O₇, 2=Fe)

titration average : 33+32.05+32.15+32.1 / 4 = 32.325 cm³(ml)

25 cm³ of iron solution used in titration :

$\tt V_1=32.325~ml\\\\V_2=25~ml\\\\C_1=0.0093~M\\\\\\\\C_1.V_1.n_2=C_2.V_2.n_1\\\\0.0093\times 32.325\times 6=C_2\times 25\times 1\\\\C_2=0.07215~M$

Dilution(25 ml from 200 ml iron solution)

$\tt C_2.V_2=C_1.V_1\\\\0.007215\times 25=C_1\times 200\\\\C_1=0.009~M$
