Iron forms a series of compounds of the type Fex(CO)y. In air, they are oxidized to Fe2O3and CO2gas. After heating a 0.142 g sam

ple of Fex(CO)yin air, you isolate the CO2in a 1.50 L flask at 25 °C. The pressure of the gas is 44.9 mmHg. What is the empirical formula of Fex(CO)y

Answer:

The empirical formula is = Fe(CO)_2

Explanation:

Carbon dioxide obtained:

Pressure = 44.9 mm Hg

Also, P (mm Hg) = P (atm) / 760

Pressure = 44.9 / 760 = 0.0591 atm

Temperature = 25 °C

The conversion of T( °C) to T(K) is shown below:

T(K) = T( °C) + 273.15  

So,  

T₁ = (25 + 273.15) K = 298.15 K  

V = 1.50 L

Using ideal gas equation as:

PV=nRT

where,  

P is the pressure

V is the volume

n is the number of moles

T is the temperature  

R is Gas constant having value = 0.0821 L.atm/K.mol

Applying the equation as:

0.0591 atm × 1.50 L = n × 0.0821 L.atm/K.mol × 298.15 K  

⇒n = 0.0036 moles

1 mole of carbon atoms are present in 1 mole of carbon dioxide. So,

Moles of C = 0.0036 moles

Molar mass of C atom = 12.0107 g/mol

Mass of C in molecule = 0.0036 x 12.0107 = 0.0432 g

Given that the compound only contains iron and carbon. So,

Mass of Fe in the sample = Total mass - Mass of C

Mass of the sample = 0.142 g

Mass of Fe in sample = 0.142 g - 0.0432 g = 0.0988 g  

Molar mass of Fe = 55.845 g/mol

Moles of Fe  = 0.0988  / 55.845  = 0.0018 moles

Taking the simplest ratio for Fe and C as:

0.0018 : 0.0036

 = 1 : 2

The empirical formula is = Fe(CO)_2

Which of the following statements regarding alpha particles are true? Check all that apply.a. Alpha particles have a mass number
egoroff_w [7]

Answer:

The only true statement is:

  • a. <u><em>Alpha particles have a mass number of 4</em></u>

Explanation:

<em>Alpha particles</em> are radiactive particles equivalent to a helium nucleus, so they have two protons and two neutrons.

Hence, alpha particles, α, are represented as:

  • ⁴₂He

The superscript 4 to the left of the chemical symbol is the <em>mass number:</em> 2 protons + 2 neutrons = 4

The subscript 2 to the left of the chemical symbol is the atomic number: 2 protons = 2.

Hence, the statement "a. Alpha particles have a mass number of 4" is true.

As for the other statements, you have:

<em>b. Alpha particles have a nulear charge of +1:</em> <u>false</u>

Since, these particles are the nucleous of the helium atom, the nuclear charge equals the number of protons of this atom: +2. Hence, the statement is false.

c. <em>Alpha particle formation is accompanied by the conversion of a proton into a neutron</em> and d. <em>Alpha particle formation is accompanied by the conversion of a neutron into a proton</em>. <u>(both false</u>)

The conversion of a protons into a neutrons and the conversion of a neutron into a proton are product of other kind of radiactive desintegrations.

  • The conversion of a proton into a neutron involves the emission of a positron ( particle with same mass as the electron but positive charge) from the nucleus, which is represented as ⁰₊₁β.

  • The conversion of a neutron into a proton involves the emssion of an electron from the nucleus, which is the emission of a beta particle represented as ⁰₋₁β.

Therefore, these last two statements are also false.

Answer:

El cocodrilo se arrastró durante 20.833 segundos.

Explanation:

El enunciado presenta omisiones y errores conceptuales. La forma correcta es la siguiente: <em>"Un cocodrilo se arrastró 25 metros hacia la derecha con una  rapidez promedio de 1.2 metros por segundo. ¿Cuántos segundos se arrastró el cocodrilo?"</em>

Consideremos que el cocodrilo tiene un movimiento rectilíneo uniforme, el tiempo requerido para el recorrido se calcula con la siguiente ecuación cinemática:

t = \frac{x}{v} (1)

Donde:

x - Distancia recorrida, en metros.

v - Rapidez del cocodrilo, en metros por segundo.

t - Tiempo, en segundos.

Si x = 25\,m y v = 1.2\,\frac{m}{s}, entonces el tiempo empleado por el cocodrilo es:

t = \frac{25\,m}{1.2\,\frac{m}{s} }

t = 20.833\,s

El cocodrilo se arrastró durante 20.833 segundos.
