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

Silicon carbide (SiC) is an important ceramic material made by reacting sand (silicon dioxide, SiO2) with powdered carbon at a h
makkiz [27]

Answer:

Percent yield of SiC is 77.0%.

Explanation:

Balanced reaction: SiO_{2}+3C\rightarrow SiC+2CO

Molar mass of SiC = 40.11 g/mol

Molar mass of SiO_{2} = 60.08 g/mol

So, 100.0 kg of SiO_{2} = \frac{100.0\times 10^{3}}{60.08} moles of SiO_{2} = 1664 moles of SiO_{2}

According to balanced equation, 1 mol of SiO_{2} produces 1 mol of SiC

Therefore, 1664 moles of SiO_{2} produce 1664 moles of SiC

Mass of 1664 moles of SiC = (1664\times 40.11)g = 66743g = 66.74 kg (4 sig. fig.)

Percent yield of SiC = [(actual yield of SiC)/(theoretical yield of SiC)]\times 100%

                                 = \frac{51.4kg}{66.74kg}\times 100 %

                                 = 77.0%

If two gases with pressures of 2 atm and 3 atm are mixed at a constant temperature, what will the total pressure be?
slamgirl [31]
If two gases with pressures of 2 atm and 3 atm are mixed at constant temperature, the total pressure will be the sum of the two pressures. Therefore the answer is D. 2 atm + 3 atm or 5 atm will be the total pressure of the gas mixture.
