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.

How much water would be needed to completely dissolve 1.52 L of the gas at a pressure of 730 torr and a temperature of 21 ∘C?
Sophie [7]

Answer:

The correct answer is 0.4 L.

Explanation:

The mentioned question can be solved by using the equation,  

C = K × Pgas--------(i)

Here K is the Henry law constant whose value is 0.158 mol/L/atm, C is the concentration of the gas in liquid state, and Pgas is the partial pressure of the gas.  

Now to find the volume of water, the formula to be used is,  

PV = nRT-----------(ii)

Here P is the pressure of the gas, V is the volume, R is the universal gas constant whose value is 0.082 Latm/mol/K and T is the temperature.  

PgasV = nRT

Pgas = nRT/Vgas

The value of Pgas is inserted in equation (i) we get,  

C = K × nRT/Vgas

It is to be noted that C = n/V, here n is the no. of the moles and V is the volume of liquid.  

n/Vliquid = K × nRT/Vgas

1/Vliquid = KRT/Vgas

Vliquid = Vgas/KRT--------------(iii)

Based on the given information, the volume of the gas is 1.52 L, the value of K is 0.158 mol/L/atm, the value of R is 0.082 Latm/mol/K and value of T is 21 degree C or 273 + 21 = 294 K.  

Now putting the values in equation (iii) we get,  

Vliquid = 1.52 L / 0.158 × 0.082 × 294

Vliquid = 1.52 / 3.809

Vliquid = 0.399 or 0.4 L

Hence, the volume of water required to dissolve 1.52 L of gas is 0.4 L.

How much potassium chloride is needed to make 0.500 m solution with 1.50 L of water?
Andrew [12]

Answer:

55.9 g KCl.

Explanation:

Hello there!

In this case, according to the definition of molality for the 0.500-molar solution, we need to divide the moles of solute (potassium chloride) over the kilograms of solvent as shown below:

m=\frac{mol}{kilograms}

Thus, solving for the moles of solute, we obtain:

mol=m*kilograms

Since the density of water is 1 kg/L, we obtain the following moles:

mol=0.500mol/kg*1.50kg\\\\mol=0.75mol

Next, since the molar mass of KCl is 74.5513 g/mol, the mass would be:

0.75mol*\frac{74.5513g}{1mol}\\\\55.9g \ KCl

Regards!

What is the concentration in molarity of a solution that has 54.21g of calcium hydroxide dissolved in 560mL of water?
ra1l [238]
We know that Molarity = # mol/L

In the question, we are given grams - so we need to calculate the number of moles that we are dealing with. We can do this by first finding out what the molecular formula of calcium hydroxide is: Ca(OH)_{2

This means that we have 1 calcium and 2 hydroxides.

We can find the number of moles by taking the grams given divided by the molar mass of the molecule. We can find the molar mass of the molecule by taking each atomic mass of each atom (found on the periodic table) and adding them together:

Ca = 40.08g
O = 15.999g
H = 1.008g

We have 1 calcium, 2 oxygens, and 2 hydrogens. So let's add the atomic masses together:

40.08 + 2(15.999) + 2(1.008) = 74.094g

Now that we have the molar mass, we can find the number of moles due to already knowing the given amount in the question:

54.21g/74.09g = 0.73 moles of Ca(OH)_{2}

Now that we know the number of moles, we can solve for the molarity; The other part of the question gives us 560 mL of water - but this can quickly be converted to liters by moving the decimal to the left 3 places => 0.560 L

Knowing all of this information, we can plug it into the molarity equation:

Molarity = 0.73 mol/0.56 L
Molarity = 1.30

The molarity of the solution is 1.3 M.
