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

A galvanic cell at a temperature of 25.0°C is powered by the following redox reaction:
soldi70 [24.7K]

Answer:

2.01V ( To three significant digits)

Explanation:

First we show the standard reduction potentials of Cu2+(aq)/Cu(s) system and Al3+(aq)/Al(s) system. We can clearly see from the balanced redox reaction equation that aluminium is the anode and was the oxidized specie while copper is the cathode and was the reduced specie. This observation is necessary when substituting values of concentration into the Nernst equation.

The next thing to do is to obtain the standard cell potential as shown in the image attached and subsequently substitute values of concentration and standard cell potential into the Nernst equation as shown. This gives the cell potential under the given conditions.

The electronic configuration of an atom of element X is 2,8,2 what will be the valency of the element x
KIM [24]

The element is Magnesium

  • It has total 12 electrons

it has electronic configuration

\\ \sf\longmapsto 2,8,2

or

\\ \sf\longmapsto 1s^22s^22p^63s^2

In valence cell it has 2 electrons and therefore its valency is 2
