Answer:

OsCO or COOs

Explanation:

Data given

Carbon = 15.89 %

Oxygen = 21.18 %

Osmium = 62.93%

Empirical formula = ?

Solution:

First find the masses of each component

Consider total compound is 100g

As we now

mass of element = % of component

So,

15.89 g of C     = 15.89 % Carbon

21.18 g of O      =   21.18 % Oxygen

62.93 g of Os  =   62.93% Osmium

Now convert the masses to moles

For Carbon

Molar mass of C = 12 g/mol

                  no. of mole = mass in g / molar mass

Put value in above formula

                  no. of mole =  15.89 g/ 12 g/mol

                  no. of mole =  1.3242

mole of C = 1.3242

For Oxygen

Molar mass of O = 16 g/mol

                  no. of mole = mass in g / molar mass

Put value in above formula

                  no. of mole =  21.18 g/ 16 g/mol

                  no. of mole =  

mole of O = 1.3238

For Os

Molar mass of Os = 190 g/mol

                  no. of mole = mass in g / molar mass

Put value in above formula

                  no. of mole =  62.93 g/ 190 g/mol

                  no. of mole =  

mole of Os = 1.3312

Now we have values in moles as below

C = 1.3242

O = 1.3238

Os = 1.3312

Divide the all values on the smalest values to get whole number ratio

C = 1.3242 /1.3238 = 1.0003

O = 1.3238 /1.3238 = 1

Os = 1.3312 /1.3238 = 1.0056

So all have round value 1 mole

C = 1

O = 1

Os = 1

So the empirical formula will be (OsCO) i.e. all 3 atoms in simplest small ratio

Which type of chemical reaction occurs in 2KCIO3 → AKCI + 302?
Oksanka [162]

Answer:

Decomposition reaction

Explanation:

Chemical equation:

2KClO₃ → 2KCl + 3O₂

The given reaction is decomposition reaction.

Decomposition reaction:

It is the reaction in which one reactant is break down into two or more product.

AB → A + B

Synthesis reaction:

It is the reaction in which two or more simple substance react to give one or more complex product.

Single replacement:

It is the reaction in which one elements replace the other element in compound.

AB + C → AC + B

Double replacement:

It is the reaction in which two compound exchange their ions and form new compounds.

AB + CD  → AC +BD

60g ethane requires 7x32= 224g oxygen

here ethane is in excess.oxygen will be fully consumed

hence

leaving (270-80.36)= 189.64 g ethane.

By the Balanced eqn

60g ethane produces 4x44 g CO2

hence amount of CO2 produced =

Answer: B

Refer:

Because water molecules are polar, they interact with the sodium and chloride ions. In general, polar solvents dissolve polar solutes, and nonpolar solvents dissolve nonpolar solutes. This concept is often expressed as “Like dissolves like.
