Answer:

15.95

Explanation:

This question is a modification of the calculation of  the empirical formula of a compound given its percent composition and atomic weights of the elements in the compound.

Here we are given the formula and the percent composition, so we know that there are 4 atoms of E per 2 atoms of N so lets solve using the information given.

In 100 grams of the binary compound we have

30.46 g N

69.54 g E

The number of moles is the mass divided by atomic weight:

mol N = 30.46 g / A.W N = 30.46 g / 14.00 g/mol = 2.18 mol N

mol E = 65.54 g / A.W E

Thus,

4 mol E/ 2 mol N = ( 69.54 g/ A.W E ) / 2.18

2  A.E = 65.54 g / 2.18  ⇒ A.W E = 69.54 g / ( 2 x 2.18 ) = 15.94 g

So the A.W is 15.94 g/mol which is close  the atomic weight of O.

HELP.....From the information presented in the activity series of metals below (4 metals included), answer the following questio
san4es73 [151]

Answer:

a)there would be no reaction

Explanation:

The activity series of metals has many functions. The one applicable to this problem is that it can be used to determine whether a reaction will occur or not. Also, based on the positions of metals in the series, we can know how reactive a metal is compared to another.

In a single displacement reaction, a metal replaces another metal based on their position on the activity series. Metals that are higher in the series are generally more reactive than others below them and so will displace them.

 

Would aluminum replace magnesium to form a new compound or would there be no reaction?

Magnesium is higher than aluminum in the activity series. Therefore it is more reactive than aluminum. No reaction will occur.

The pH of a 0.1 M solution of an unknown weak acid is 3.7. What is the pKa of this acid?
Ahat [919]

Explanation:

Knowing the pH, you know the concentration of protons:

−log[H+]=pH=3.7

[H+]=10−3.7 M

Now, since the weak (monoprotic) acid dissociates into its conjugate base and a proton, the mols of protons are equimolar with the mols of conjugate base---the protons came FROM the weak acid, so the conjugate base that forms must be equimolar with the protons given out to the solvent.

HA⇌A−+H+

Hence, [A−]=[H+] in the same solution volume. Using the equilibrium constant expression, we get:

Ka=[H+]2eq[HA]eq

Don't forget that the HA form of HA had given away protons, so the mols of protons given away to generate A− is subtracted from the mols of (protons in) HA.

=[H+]2eq[HA]i−[H+]eq

=(10−3.7M)20.02M−10−3.7M

Ka=2.0105×10−6 M
