1 answer:

8 0

Empirical formula of the compound is the simplest ratio of components making up the compound.
In 100 g there’s 87.1 g of Ag and 12.9 g of S.
Let’s calculate for 100 g of the compound
Ag S
Mass 87.1 g 12.9 g
Moles. 87.1 /107.8 g/mol 12.9/32 g/mol
=0.8 mol =0.4mol
Divide by the least number of moles
0.8/0.4 =2 0.4/0.4=1
Ratio of Ag to S is 2:1
Therefore empirical formula is Ag2S

What is ideal gas constant ?

The ideal gas constant is calculated to be 8.314J/K⋅ mol when the pressure is in kPa.
The ideal gas law is a single equation which relates the pressure, volume, temperature, and number of moles of an ideal gas.
The combined gas law relates pressure, volume, and temperature of a gas.

We simple use this formula-

The basic formula is PV = nRT where. P = Pressure in atmospheres (atm) V = Volume in Liters (L) n = of moles (mol) R = the Ideal Gas Law Constant.

68F = 298.15K

V = nRT/P = 0.2 * 0.08206 * 298.15K / (745/760) = 4.992Liters

n = PV/RT = 1.1atm*4.992L/(0.08206Latm/molK * 306K)

n = 0.219 moles

Therefore, 0.219 moles moles are present in the flask when the pressure is 1.10 atm and the temperature is 33˚c.
