A 29.05 gram sample of cobalt is heated in the presence of excess oxygen. A metal oxide is formed with a mass of 40.88 g. Determ

deff fn [24]

The empirical formula of the oxide is Co₂O₃.

Step 1. Calculate the mass of oxygen

Your reaction is

Cobalt + oxygen ⟶ cobalt oxide

29.05 g + x g ⟶ 40.88 g

According to the Law of Conservation of Mass, the total mass of the reactants must equal the total mass of the products. Thus,

29.05 g + x g ⟶ 40.88 g

x = 40.88 – 29.05 = 11.83

Step 2. Calculate the moles of each element

The empirical formula is the simplest whole-number ratio of atoms in a compound.

The ratio of atoms is the same as the ratio of moles.

So, our job is to calculate the molar ratio of Co to O.

Moles of Co = 29.05 g Co × (1 mol Co /(58.93 g Co) = 0.492 96 mol Co

Moles of O = 11.83 g O × (1 mol O/16.00 g O) = 0.739 38 mol O

Step 3. Calculate the molar ratio of the elements

Divide each number by the smaller number of moles

Co:O = 0.429 26:0.739 38 = 1:1.4999

Step 4. Multiply each number by a factor that makes the ratio close to whole numbers

Multiply by 2. Then

Co:O = 2:2.998 ≈ 2:3

Step 5: Write the empirical formula

EF = Co₂O₃

Why melting and boiling points can be used as a way to check purity?

jekas [21]

Answer: Let's see why

Pure solid and liquid compounds possess sharp melting and boiling points. Therefore, melting and boiling points of a compound can be used as a criteria of purity. ... Sometimes during cooling minute quantity of the substance (solid which is being purified) is added to the solution to facilitate the initial crystallisation.

Help. The answer to question 1 I didn't mean to click so please answer that as well.

Zepler [3.9K]

We have that energy=specific heat * change in temperature * mass. Thus, we have the final temperature (22) minus the initial temperature (55) to equal -33 as our change in temperature. Our specific heat is in J/g*C, so we're good with that because g stands for grams and the aluminium is measured in grams. As there are 10 grams of aluminum, we have
$10*(-33)*0.902=-298 ish$ as our final temperature

An exothermic reaction would release energy and would therefore lose heat itself, while an endothermic reaction would absorb energy and gain heat. Therefore, losing heat would be an exothermic reaction
