Answer:

d. 97.60 g

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Number of moles of formaldehyde = 3.25moles

Ratio:

C H O

1 2 1

Unknown:

Mass of this sample = ?

Solution:

The empirical formula of a compound is its simplest formula. It is the simplest whole number ratio of the atoms in a given substance.

The molecular formula is the actual formula of the compound.

Since the molecular and empirical formula are the same here, the formula of the compound is;

CH₂O

To find the mass of the formaldehyde, use the expression below;

Mass = number of moles x molar mass

molar mass of CH₂O = 12 + 2(1) + 16 = 30g/mol

Mass = 3.25 x 30 = 97.5g

dalvyx [7]

Answer:

$1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^6$

Explanation:

Chlorine is the element of group 17 and third period. The atomic number of chlorine is 17 and the symbol of the element is Cl.

The electronic configuration of the element chlorine is:-

$1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^5$

Chloride ion is formed when chlorine atom gain one more electron. So, the ground-state electron configuration for the chloride ion is:-

$1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^6$

iron will react with oxygen to produce Fe2O3. how many grams of Fe2O3 will he produced if 0.18 mil of Fe reacts?

nasty-shy [4]

Answer:

14.4g

Explanation:

First, we need to write a balanced equation for the reaction between Fe and O2 to produce Fe2O3. This is illustrated below:

4Fe + 3O2 —> 2Fe2O3

From the balanced equation,

4moles of Fe produced 2moles of Fe2O3.

Therefore, 0.18mol of Fe will produce = (0.18x2) /4 = 0.09mol of Fe2O3.

Now we need to find the mass present in 0.09mol of Fe2O3. This can be achieved by doing the following:

Molar Mass of Fe2O3 = (56x2) + (16x3) = 112 + 48 = 160g/mol

Number of mole of Fe2O3 = 0.09mol

Number of mole = Mass /Molar Mass

Mass = number of mole x molar Mass

Mass of Fe2O3 = 0.09 x 160 = 14.4g

A galvanic cell at a temperature of 25.0°C is powered by the following redox reaction:

soldi70 [24.7K]

Answer:

2.01V ( To three significant digits)

Explanation:

First we show the standard reduction potentials of Cu2+(aq)/Cu(s) system and Al3+(aq)/Al(s) system. We can clearly see from the balanced redox reaction equation that aluminium is the anode and was the oxidized specie while copper is the cathode and was the reduced specie. This observation is necessary when substituting values of concentration into the Nernst equation.

The next thing to do is to obtain the standard cell potential as shown in the image attached and subsequently substitute values of concentration and standard cell potential into the Nernst equation as shown. This gives the cell potential under the given conditions.
