Answer:

Understanding the unit cell of a crystalline solid will help you in determining the empirical formula of the ionic solid compound because they both represent the smallest portion of the whole crystalline solid proportion.

Explanation:

A unit cell is the smallest portion of a crystal lattice, that can show the 3 dimensional pattern of the whole crystal.A formula unit is the lowest whole number ratio of ions in a an ionic compound.By considering the smallest repeating units/ unit cell, you can describe the structure of a crystalline solid.Knowing this can help in determining the empirical formula of the ionic solid compound.

Two samples of a compound containing elements a and b are decomposed. the first sample produces 15 g of a and 35 g of

Alborosie

According to law of definite proportion, for a compound, elements always combine in fixed ratio by mass.

The formula of compound remains the same, let it be a_{x}b_{y} where, a and b are two different elements.

Since, the ratio of mass remains the same , calculate the ratio of masses of element a and b in both cases

\frac{a}{b}=\frac{15}{35}=\frac{10}{y}

rearranging,

y=\frac{10\times 35}{15}=23.3

Thus, mass of b produced will be 23.3 g.

What is the daughter nuclide when 0-15 experiences positron emission?

Helen [10]

The daughter isotope (a decay product)of O-15 = N-15(Nitrogen 15)

<h3>Further explanation </h3>

Radioactivity is the process of unstable isotopes to stable isotopes by decay, by emitting certain particles,

alpha α particles ₂He⁴
beta β ₋₁e⁰ particles
gamma particles γ
positron particles ₁e⁰

O-15 emits positron particles ₁e⁰, so the atomic number decreases by 1, the mass number is the same

Reaction

$\tt _8^{15}O\Rightarrow _7^{15}N+_1^0e$

The mass number of the daughter isotope = 15, atomic number = 7

If we look at the periodic system, the element with atomic number 7 is Nitrogen (N)

How many moles are in 1.05 g of gold (Au)?

Wittaler [7]

Answer:

0.005 mol

Explanation:

Moles is denoted by given mass divided by the molecular mass ,

Hence ,

n = w / m

n = moles ,

w = given mass ,

m = molecular mass .

From the question ,

w = given mass of Gold = 1.05 g ,

m = molecular mass of Gold = 197 g/mol

<u>Hence , moles can be calculated as -</u>

n = w / m = 1.05 g / 197 g/mol = 0.005 mol

Answer:

According to avogadro's law, 1 mole of every substance contains avogadro's number $6.023\times 10^{23}$ of particles and weighs equal to its molecular mass.

To calculate the moles, we use the equation:

$\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text {Molar mass}}$

$\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given molecules}}{\text {Avogadros number}}$

a. moles in 14.08 g of $C_{12}H_{22}O_{11}$ = $\frac{14.08g}{342.3g/mol}=0.04113moles$

molecules in 14.08 g of $C_{12}H_{22}O_{11}$ = $0.04113\times 6.023\times 10^{23}=0.2477\times 10^{23}$

b. moles in 17.75 g of NaCl = $\frac{17.75g}{58.5g/mol}=0.3034moles$

molecules in 17.75 g of $NaCl$ = $0.3034\times 6.023\times 10^{23}=1.827\times 10^{23}$

formula units 17.75 g of $NaCl$ = $0.3034\times 6.023\times 10^{23}=1.827\times 10^{23}$

c. moles in 20.06 g of $CuSO_4.5H_2O$ = $\frac{20.06g}{249.68g/mol}=0.08034moles$

formula units in 20.06 g of $CuSO_4.5H_2O$ = $0.08034\times 6.023\times 10^{23}=0.4839\times 10^{23}$
