Answer:

Empirical formula is CaSO₄.

Explanation:

Given data:

Percentage of calcium =29.44%

Percentage of sulfur = 23.55%

Percentage of oxygen = 47.01%

Empirical formula = ?

Solution:

Number of gram atoms of Ca = 29.44 / 40 = 0.74

Number of gram atoms of S = 23.55 / 32 = 0.74

Number of gram atoms of O = 47.01 / 16 = 3

Atomic ratio:

            Ca                      :        S                :         O

           0.74/0.74           :     0.74/0.74      :       3/0.74

               1                     :          1              :          4

Ca : S : O = 1 : 1 : 4

Empirical formula is CaSO₄.

What is the best example of an experimental scientific investigation?
ivolga24 [154]

Scientific investigation: The process in which scientist solve the question by using different systematic approach. It can be initiated in different ways.

Experimental Scientific investigation: The investigation in which scientist answer the question on the basis of experimental results. Experimental investigation includes both dependent and independent variables, and only one variable is tested at a time is possible.

The best example of an experimental scientific investigation is: when we placed a whole apple and apple slice under sun, and noted down how many days it will take to  rot in order to compare the break down of apple slice and whole apple.

Thus, option (B) is the correct answer.

The proposed mechanism for a reaction is: Step 1: A + B X (fast) Step 2: X + C Y (slow) Step 3: Y D (fast) What is the overall r
PolarNik [594]

Answer:

(slow)xy2+z→xy2z (fast) c step1:step2:xy2+z2→xy2z2

Explanation:

Step1: xy2+z2→xy2z2 (slow)

Step2: xy2z2→xy2z+z (fast)

2XY 2 + Z 2 → 2XY 2 Z

Rate= k[xy2][z2]

 

When the two elementary steps are summed up, the result is equivalent to the stoichiometric equation. Hence, this mechanism is acceptable. The order of both elementary steps is 2, which is ‘≤3’; this also makes this mechanism acceptable. Furthermore, the rate equation aligns with the experimentally determined rate equation, and this also makes this mechanism acceptable. Therefore, since all the three rules have been observed, this mechanism is possible.

7. Calculate the amount of energy required heat 100.g to <br> H2O(s) changes to H2O(l) at 0°C
Brrunno [24]

Answer:

33300J

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of ice  = 100g

Unknown:

Amount of energy = ?

Solution:

This is a phase change process from solid to liquid. In this case, the latent heat of melting of ice is 3.33 x 10⁵ J/kg.

 So;

            H  = mL

m is the mass

L is the latent heat of melting ice

  Now, insert the parameters and solve;

            H = mL

 mass from gram to kilogram;

            100g gives 0.1kg

  H = 0.1 x 3.33 x 10⁵ = 33300J
