The  empirical  formula of the  compound is  calculated  as  follows

first   calculate  the  mass  of  oxygen=  12-(4.09  +3.71)=  5.02g

then  calculate  the  moles  of  each  element,  moles  =  mass/  molar  mass

moles of   K  =  4.09g/39 g/mol(molar  mass  of K)  =  0.105  moles
moles  of Cl = 3.71g/35.5 g/mol(molar  mass  of Cl) =  0.105  moles
moles of  O  =  5.02g/ 16g/mol(molar  mass of  O) = 0.314  moles

then  calculate e  mole ratio by  dividing  each  mole  by  the  smallest  number  of  moles  (  0.105 moles)

K=0.105/0.105= 1
Cl=0.105 /0.105=1
O=  0.314/0.105=3

therefore  the  empirical   formula  = KClO3

Homeostasis means maintaining
Zielflug [23.3K]

Answer:

Homeostasis is the tendency to resist change in order to maintain a stable, relatively constant internal environment. Homeostasis typically involves negative feedback loops that counteract changes of various properties from their target values, known as set points.

Calculate average kinetic energy of one mole of gas at 517K
Gekata [30.6K]

In an ideal gas, there are no attractive forces between the gas molecules, and there is no rotation or vibration within the molecules. The kinetic energy of the translational motion of an ideal gas depends on its temperature. The formula for the kinetic energy of a gas defines the average kinetic energy per molecule. The kinetic energy is measured in Joules (J), and the temperature is measured in Kelvin (K).

K = average kinetic energy per molecule of gas (J)

kB = Boltzmann's constant ()

T = temperature (k)

Kinetic Energy of Gas Formula Questions:

1) Standard Temperature is defined to be . What is the average translational kinetic energy of a single molecule of an ideal gas at Standard Temperature?

Answer: The average translational kinetic energy of a molecule of an ideal gas can be found using the formula:

The average translational kinetic energy of a single molecule of an ideal gas is  (Joules).

2) One mole (mol) of any substance consists of  molecules (Avogadro's number). What is the translational kinetic energy of  of an ideal gas at ?

Answer: The translational kinetic energy of  of an ideal gas can be found by multiplying the formula for the average translational kinetic energy by the number of molecules in the sample. The number of molecules is  times Avogadro's number:

A 100.0 mL sample of 0.300 M NaOH is mixed with a 100.0 mL sample of 0.300 M HNO3 in a coffee cup calorimeter. If both solutions
Mars2501 [29]

Answer:

Qm  = -55.8Kj/mole

Explanation:

NaOH(aq) + HNO₃(aq) => NaNO₃(aq) + H₂O(l)

Qm = (mc∆T)water /moles acid

Given => 100ml(0.300M) NaOH(aq) + 100ml(0.300M)HNO₃(aq)

=> 0.03mole NaOH(aq) + 0.03mole HNO₃(aq)

=> 0.03mole NaNO₃(aq) + 0.03mole H₂O(l)

ΔH⁰rxn = [(200ml)(1.00cal/g∙°C)(37 – 35)°C]water / 0.03mole HNO₃

= 13,333 cal/mole x 4.184J/cal = 55,787J/mol = 55.8Kj/mole (exothermic)*

Heat of reactions comes from formation of H-Oxy bonds on formation of water of reaction and heats the 200ml of solvent water from 35⁰C to 37⁰C.

How many grams of Cabr2 would be needed to create 450 mL of a 2.00 M solution?
Yanka [14]

Answer:

Mass = 179.9 g

Explanation:

Given data:

Volume of solution = 450 mL

Molarity of solution = 2.00 M

Mass in gram required = ?

Solution:

Volume of solution = 450 mL× 1 L / 1000 mL = 0.45 L

Molarity = number of moles of solute/ Volume of solution in L

2.00 M = number of moles of solute / 0.45 L

Number of moles of solute = 2.00 M × 0.45 L

M = mol/L

number of moles of solute = 0.9 mol

Mass of CaBr₂ in gram:

Mass = number of moles ×  molar  mass

Mass = 0.9 mol ×199.89 g/mol

Mass = 179.9 g
