The finagling in the hole
Answer:
Rb+
Explanation:
Since they are telling us that the equivalence point was reached after 17.0 mL of 2.5 M HCl were added , we can calculate the number of moles of HCl which neutralized our unknown hydroxide.
Now all the choices for the metal cation are monovalent, therefore the general formula for our unknown is XOH and we know the reaction is 1 equivalent acid to 1 equivalent base. Thus we have the number of moles, n, of XOH and from the relation n = M/MW we can calculate the molecular weight of XOH.
Thus our calculations are:
V = 17.0 mL x 1 L / 1000 mL = 0.017 L
2.5 M HCl x 0.017 L = 2.5 mol/ L x 0.017 L = 0.0425 mol
0.0425 mol = 4.36 g/ MW XOH
MW of XOH = (atomic weight of X + 16 + 1)
so solving the above equation we get:
0.0425 = 4.36 / (X + 17 )
0.7225 +0.0425X = 4.36
0.0425X = 4.36 -0.7225 = 3.6375
X = 3.6375/0.0425 = 85.59
The unknown alkali is Rb which has an atomic weight of 85.47 g/mol
The empirical formula is the same as the molecular formula : C₁₀H₅O₂
<h3>Further explanation</h3>
Given
Molecular formula : C₁₀H₅O₂
Required
The empirical formula
Solution
The empirical formula (EF) is the smallest comparison of atoms of compound forming elements.
The molecular formula (MF) is a formula that shows the number of atomic elements that make up a compound.
(empirical formula) n = molecular formula
<em>(EF)n=MF
</em>
(EF)n = C₁₀H₅O₂
If we divide by the number of moles of Oxygen (the smallest) which is 2 then the moles of Hydrogen will be a decimal number (not whole), which is 2.5, then the empirical formula is the same as the molecular formula
Reactants are the substances that undergo changes and the new substance created from it is called products.
Environmental Chemistry studies the health hazards associated with lead, which is dangerous to humans.
Environmental Chemistry studies chemicals present in air, water and soil and their impact on humans and their environment.
Now, it was discovered that even low doses of lead particles in the paint when inhaled or ingested caused damaging effect to the body such as Impaired balance, seizures, ataxia and even death.
With the role of Environmental chemists in thier research and findings, the world has been informed on the negative effect on the expose of lead and other heavy metals like it to man and his environment.
