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.

rosijanka [135]

Answer:

The solution to the question is as follows

(a) The rate of ammonia formation = 0.061 M/s

(b) the rate of N₂ consumption = 0.0303 M/s

Explanation:

(a) To solve the question we note that the reaction consists of one mole of N₂ combining with three moles of H₂ to form 2 moles of NH₃

N₂(g) + 3H₂(g) → 2NH₃(g)

The rate of reaction of molecular hydrogen = 0.091 M/s, hence we have

3 moles of H₂ reacts to form 2 moles of NH₃, therefore

0.091 M of H₂ will react to form 2/3 × 0.091 M or 0.061 M of NH₃

Hence the rate of ammonia formation is 0.061 M/s

(b) From the reaction equation we have 3 moles of H₂ and one mole of N₂ being consumed at the same time hence

0.091 M of H₂ is consumed simultaneously with 1/3 × 0.091 M or 0.0303 M of N₂

Therefore the rate of consumption of N₂ = 0.0303 M/s

Rudiy27

Answer:

Na₂O is the formula for the ionic compound "sodium oxide".

It has 2 sodium atoms and 1 oxygen atom.

The number of atoms for an element are written as a subscript after the element. "1" subscripts are not written.

The names of the elements are found on the periodic table.
