Determine the empirical and molecular formula for chrysotile asbestos. Chrysotile has the following percent composition: 28.03%

nlexa [21]

<u>Answer:</u> The empirical and molecular formula of chrysotile is $Mg_3Si_2H_3O_4$ and $Mg_6Si_4H_6O_{16}$

<u>Explanation:</u>

We are given:

Percentage of Mg = 28.03 %

Percentage of Si = 21.60 %

Percentage of H = 1.16 %

Percentage of O = 49.21 %

Let the mass of compound be 100 g. So, percentages given are taken as mass.

Mass of Mg = 28.03 g

Mass of Si = 21.60 g

Mass of H = 1.16 g

Mass of O = 49.21 g

To formulate the empirical formula, we need to follow some steps:

<u>Step 1:</u> Converting the given masses into moles.

Moles of Magnesium = $\frac{\text{Given mass of Magnesium}}{\text{Molar mass of Magnesium}}=\frac{28.03g}{24g/mole}=1.17moles$

Moles of Silicon = $\frac{\text{Given mass of Silicon}}{\text{Molar mass of Silicon}}=\frac{21.06g}{28g/mole}=0.752moles$

Moles of Hydrogen = $\frac{\text{Given mass of Hydrogen}}{\text{Molar mass of Hydrogen}}=\frac{1.16g}{1g/mole}=1.16moles$

Moles of Oxygen = $\frac{\text{Given mass of oxygen}}{\text{Molar mass of oxygen}}=\frac{49.21g}{16g/mole}=3.07moles$

<u>Step 2:</u> Calculating the mole ratio of the given elements.

For the mole ratio, we divide each value of the moles by the smallest number of moles calculated which is 0.752 moles.

For Magnesium = $\frac{1.17}{0.752}=1.5$

For Silicon = $\frac{0.752}{0.752}=1$

For Hydrogen = $\frac{1.16}{0.752}=1.5$

For Oxygen = $\frac{3.07}{0.485}=4.08\approx 4$

To convert the mole ratios into whole numbers, we multiply individual mole ratios by 2

Mole ratio of Magnesium = (2 × 1.5) = 3

Mole ratio of Silicon = (2 × 1) = 2

Mole ratio of Hydrogen = (2 × 1.5) = 3

Mole ratio of Oxygen = (2 × 4) = 8

<u>Step 3:</u> Taking the mole ratio as their subscripts.

The ratio of Mg : Si : H : O = 3 : 2 : 3 : 8

The empirical formula for the given compound is $Mg_3Si_2H_3O_8$

For determining the molecular formula, we need to determine the valency which is multiplied by each element to get the molecular formula.

The equation used to calculate the valency is :

$n=\frac{\text{Molecular mass}}{\text{Empirical mass}}$

We are given:

Mass of molecular formula = 520.8 g/mol

Mass of empirical formula = [(24 × 3) + (28 × 2) + (1 × 3) + (16 × 8)] = 259 g/mol

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$n=\frac{520.8g/mol}{259g/mol}=2$

Multiplying this valency by the subscript of every element of empirical formula, we get:

$Mg_{(3\times 2)}Si_{(2\times 2)}H_{(3\times 2)}O_{(8\times 2)}=Mg_6Si_4H_6O_{16}$

Hence, the empirical and molecular formula of chrysotile is $Mg_3Si_2H_3O_4$ and $Mg_6Si_4H_6O_{16}$

To show the electron configuration for an atom, when would it be better to use an orbital notation than to use a written configu

Kisachek [45]

The answer is: when the aim is to show electron distributions in shells

An orbital notation is more appropriate if you want to show how the electrons of an atom are distributed in each subshell. This is because there are some atoms that have special electronic configurations that aren't obvious in just written configurations.

1. The pressure of a gas is 100.0 kPa and its volume is 500.0 ml. If the volume increases to 1,000.0 ml, what is the new pressur

marta [7]

Answer:

1) The new pressure of the gas is 500 kilopascals.

2) The final volume is 1.44 liters.

3) Volume will decrease by approximately 67 %.

4) The Boyle's Laws deals with pressures and volumes.

Explanation:

1) From the Equation of State for Ideal Gases we construct the following relationship:

$\frac{P_{2}}{P_{1}} = \frac{V_{1}}{V_{2}}$ (1)

Where:

$P_{1}, P_{2}$ - Initial and final pressure, measured in kPa.

$V_{1}, V_{2}$ - Initial and final pressure, measured in mililiters.

If we know that $P_{1} = 100\,kPa$ , $V_{1} = 500\,mL$ and $V_{2} = 1000\,mL$ , then the new pressure of the gas is:

$P_{2} = P_{1}\cdot \left(\frac{V_{1}}{V_{2}} \right)$

$P_{2} = 500\,kPa$

The new pressure of the gas is 500 kilopascals.

2) Let suppose that gas experiments an isothermal process. From the Equation of State for Ideal Gases we construct the following relationship:

$\frac{P_{2}}{P_{1}} = \frac{V_{1}}{V_{2}}$ (1)

Where:

$P_{1}, P_{2}$ - Initial and final pressure, measured in kPa.

$V_{1}, V_{2}$ - Initial and final pressure, measured in mililiters.

If we know that $V_{1} = 3.60\,L$ , $P_{1} = 10\,kPa$ and $P_{2} = 25\,kPa$ then the new volume of the gas is:

$V_{2} = V_{1}\cdot \left(\frac{P_{1}}{P_{2}} \right)$

$V_{2} = 1.44\,L$

The final volume is 1.44 liters.

3) From the Equation of State for Ideal Gases we construct the following relationship:

$\frac{P_{2}}{P_{1}} = \frac{V_{1}}{V_{2}}$ (1)

Where:

$P_{1}, P_{2}$ - Initial and final pressure, measured in kPa.

$V_{1}, V_{2}$ - Initial and final pressure, measured in mililiters.

If we know that $\frac{P_{2}}{P_{1}} = 3$ , then the volume ratio is:

$\frac{V_{1}}{V_{2}} = 3$

$\frac{V_{2}}{V_{1}} = \frac{1}{3}$

Volume will decrease by approximately 67 %.

4) The Boyle's Laws deals with pressures and volumes.
