Answer:

empirical formula => K₃PO₄

Explanation:

For empirical formula problems, if not given in percent per 100 weight convert given data to percent per 100 weight and then follow the following sequence:

% => grams/100wt => moles => mole ratio => reduce mole ratio to smallest whole no. ratio => empirical ratio

K => 55.3% => 55.3 grams/100 wt => 55.3 g/ 39.0 g·mol⁻¹ = 1.418 mol

P => 14.6% => 14.6 grams/100 wt => 14.6 g/ 30.9 g·mol⁻¹ = 0.4725 mol

O => 30.1% => 30.1 grams/100 wt => 30.1 g/16.0 g·mol⁻¹ = 1.8813 mol

K : P : O => 1.418 : 0.4725 : 1.8813

Mole ratio => K : P : O => 1.418 : 0.4725 : 1.8813  

Reduce mole ratio by dividing all values by smallest mole value ...  

K : P : O => 1.418/0.4725 : 0.4725/0.4725 : 1.8813/0.4725 => 3 : 1 : 4  

Multiply reduced ratio by whole number multiple that will give a set of whole number values => empirical ratio. For this problem, whole no. multiple = 1 => empirical ratio => 3 : 1 : 4

empirical formula => K₃PO₄

______________________________

moles per 100wt.

formula weight = 3K + 1P + 4O = [3(39) + 1(30.9) + 4(16)] g/mol = 211.9 g/mol

moles per 100wt = 100 g / 211.9 g·mol⁻¹ = 0.472 mol. K₃PO₄

The way you calculate the empirical formula is to firstly assume 100g. To find each elements moles you take each elements percentage listed, times it by one mole and divide it by its atomic mass. (ex: moles of K =55.3g x 1 mole/39.1g, therefore there is 1.41432225 moles of Potassium) Once you’ve completed this for every element you list each elements symbol beside it’s number of moles and divide by the smallest number because it can only go into its self once. After you’ve done this, you’ve found your empirical formula, which is the simplest whole number ratio of atoms in a compound. I’ve added an example of a empirical question I completed last semester :)

How much positive charge is in 0.7 kg of lithium? with each atom having 3 protons and 3 electrons. The elemental charge is 1.602
hichkok12 [17]

Explanation:

As a neutral lithium atom contains 3 protons and its elemental charge is given as 1.602 \times 10^{-19} C. Hence, we will calculate its number of moles as follows.

          Moles = \frac{mass}{\text{molar mass}}

                     = \frac{0.7 \times 1000 g}{7 g/mol}

                     = 100 mol

According to mole concept, there are 6.023 \times 10^{23} atoms present in 1 mole. So, in 100 mol we will calculate the number of atoms as follows.

        No. of atoms = 100 \times 6.023 \times 10^{23}

                               = 6.023 \times 10^{25} atoms

Since, it is given that charge on 1 atom is as follows.

                     3 \times 1.602 \times 10^{-19}C

                    = 4.806 \times 10^{-19}C

Therefore, charge present on 6.023 \times 10^{25} atoms will be calculated as follows.

    6.023 \times 10^{25} atoms \times 4.806 \times 10^{-19} C

            28.95 \times 10^{6}C

Thus, we can conclude that a positive charge of 28.95 \times 10^{6}C is in 0.7 kg of lithium.

What is the difference between water and alcohol
Rudik [331]

Answer:

water is H2O having different structure than alcohol R-OH which means they have different properties too.

Explanation:

In water one oxygen atom  is covalently bound with  two hydrogen atoms while alcohol is an organic compound  having Oh group attached to the carbon chain.

Other than liquid water can occur in solid form that is ice and in gaseous form that is vapors too while alcohol only present in liquid form.

heat of evaporation of alcohol is lower than water means water need more heat to evaporate than alcohol that is why we can say alcohol having more cooling effect than water.

Enter your answer in the provided box.
Lina20 [59]

Answer:

5.06atm

Explanation:

Using the combined gas law equation;

P1V1/T1 = P2V2/T2

Where;

P1 = initial pressure (atm)

P2 = final pressure (atm)

V1 = initial volume (Litres)

V2 = final volume (Litres)

T1 = initial temperature (K)

T2 = final temperature (K)

According to the information provided in this question;

P1 = 1.34 atm

P2 = ?

V1 = 5.48 L

V2 = 1.32 L

T1 = 61 °C = 61 + 273 = 334K

T2 = 31 °C = 31 + 273 = 304K

Using P1V1/T1 = P2V2/T2

1.34 × 5.48/334 = P2 × 1.32/304

7.34/334 = 1.32P2/304

Cross multiply

334 × 1.32P2 = 304 × 7.34

440.88P2 = 2231.36

P2 = 2231.36/440.88

P2 = 5.06

The final pressure is 5.06atm
