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

Molten gallium reacts with arsenic to form the semiconductor, gallium arsenide, GaAs, used in light-emitting diodes and solar ce
Vsevolod [243]

Answer:

a) 1.2g of arsenic b) 0.64g of arsenic c) 3.481g of gallium d) 3.806g of gallium e) 2.61g arsenic

Explanation:

The balanced equation is:

Ga + As = GaAs, 1:1 mole ratio

a) mass (gallium)/ molar mass of Ga = 4/ 69.723 = 0.0574mol

Mass (arsenic)/ molar mass of As = 5.5/74.9216 = 0.0734, subtracting the moles from each other (knowing already that the ratio is 1:1), arsenic is in excess by 1.2g

b) repeating the procedure (changing the values)

It will be 0.0574 to 0.06593

Arsenic is in excess by 0.00854

0.00854* mass of arsenic (such must be done for the first remaining mole) = 0.64g

c) the mole ratio is 0.0574: 0.00747

Gallium is in excess by 0.05

Mass of excess gallium = 0.05* 69.723 = 3.481g

d) using the mass given, the new ratio is

0.128: 0.0734

Gallium is in excess by 0.054mol

Mass of excess gallium = 0.054*69.723 = 3.806g

e) using the mass again, the new ratio is 0.0574: 0.02,

Gallium is in excess by 0.0374*69.723 = 2.61g

3.65 gram of hcl is dissolved in 180 gram of water. Find the total number of molecules of hydrogen​
Morgarella [4.7K]

Answer:

Molec_{\ H_{tot}}=1.206x10^{25}molec

Explanation:

Hello.

In this case, taking into account that HCl has one molecule of hydrogen per mole of compound which weights 36.45 g/mol, we compute the number of molecules of hydrogen in hydrochloric acid by considering the given mass and the Avogadro's number:

molec_{\ H}=3.65gHCl*\frac{1molHCl}{36.45gHCl} *\frac{1molH}{1molHCl}*\frac{6.022x10^{23}molec_\ H}{1molH}  =6.03x10^{22}molec

Now, from the 180 g of water, we see two hydrogen molecules per molecule of water, thus, by also using the Avogadro's number we compute the molecules of hydrogen in water:

molec_{\ H}=180gH_2O*\frac{1molH_2O}{18gH_2O} *\frac{2molH}{1molH_2O}*\frac{6.022x10^{23}molec_\ H}{1molH}  =1.20x10^{25}molec

Thus, the total number of molecules turns out:

Molec_{\ H_{tot}}=6.03x10^{22}+1.20x10^{25}\\\\Molec_{\ H_{tot}}=1.206x10^{25}molec

Regards.
