Answer:

The empirical formula of the compound with the data in the question is C2H6O

Explanation:

What we need to do here is to divide the individual masses of the elements by their atomic masses.

The atomic mass of oxygen is 16 a.m.u

The atomic mass of hydrogen is 1 a.m.u

The atomic mass of carbon is 12 a.m.u

Thus, we proceed as follows;

C = 0.783/12 = 0.06525

O = 0.521/16 = 0.0325625

H = 0.196/1 = 0.196

What is next here is to divide each of the values we have gotten above by the smallest value we have obtained. The smallest value we have obtained is that of oxygen which is 0.0325625

Hence, we have;

C = 0.06525/0.0325625 = 2.00

O= 0.0325625/0.0325625 = 1

H = 0.196/0.0325625 = 6

Thus, the empirical formula will be C2H6O

How many grams of iron metal do you expect to be produced when 325 grams of an 87.5 percent by mass iron (II) nitrate solution r
Debora [2.8K]
Answer: 88.2 g

Solution:

1) Chemical equation:

<span>2Al (s) + 3Fe(NO3)2 (aq) → 3Fe (s) + 2Al(NO3)3 (aq)

2) Theoretical molar ratios

2 mol Al : 3 mol Fe(NO3)2 : 3 mol Fe : 2 mol Al(NO3)3

3) Starting mass of pure iron nitrate

% = (mass of iron nitrate / mass of solution) * 100 = 87.5

=> mass of iron nitrate = 87.5 * mass of solution / 100

mass of solution = 325 g

=> mass of iron nitrate = 87.5 * 325 g / 100 = 284.375 g

4) moles of iron nitrate

moles = mass in grams / molar mass

molar mass of Fe(NO3)2 = 179.85 g/mol

moles = 284.375 g/ 179.85 g/mol = 1.58 moles Fe(NO3)2

5) proportion:

             x                                 3 mol Fe
--------------------------- =     ----------------------
1.58 mol Fe(NO3)2          3 mol Fe(NO3)2

Clear x:

x = 1.58 mol Fe

6) Convert 1.58 mol Fe into grams

mass = number of moles * atomic mass

atomic mass of iron = 55.845 g / mol

mass = 1.58 moles * 55.845 g/mol = 88.24 g

Rounded to 3 significant figures: 88.2 grams of Fe.

Given the following balanced chemical reaction:
Gnom [1K]

Answer:

Explanation:

according to balance chemical equation

  3 A2 moles produced 2 moles of A3B

so 12 moles A2 will produced moles of A3B= 12*2/3=24/3= 8

therefore 12 moles of A2 produced 8 moles of A3B

Z=3 1s2 express answer as an ion
sashaice [31]

Answer:

The element with electronic configuartion  1s² and atomic number 3 must be an cation.

Explanation:

The "Z" shows the atomic number. Z stand for zahl. It Is German word and meaning is " number".

In given question Z is equal to three which means an element with atomic number three.

Let consider the X is an element with atomic number three having electronic configuration 1s², but according to this atomic number there should be one more electron present is 2s. If X has the electronic configuration 1s² it means that it lose one electron and X is present in the form of cation.

X⁺ =  1s²
