Answer:

molar mass = 16.03 g/mol.

Yes, the mentioned gas is methane.

Explanation:

  • We can use the general law of ideal gas: <em>PV = nRT</em>.

where, P is the pressure of the gas in atm (P = 1.0 atm, at STP).

V is the volume of the gas in L (V = 2.0 L).

n is the no. of moles of the gas in mol (n = ??? mol).

R  is the general gas constant (R = 0.0821 L.atm/mol.K),

T is the temperature of the gas in K (T = 273 K, at STP).

∴ n = PV/RT = (1.0 atm)(2.0 L)/(0.0821 L.atm/mol.K)(273 K) = 0.08923 mol.

∵ n = mass/molar mass

<em>∴ molar mass = mass/n</em> = (1.43 g)/(0.08923 mol) = <em>16.03 g/mol.</em>

∵ molar mass of methane (CH₄) = 16.0 g/mol.

<em>So, the mentioned gas is methane.</em>

Formula of <br> Al³⁺ and SO₄²⁻
Sergio039 [100]

Answer:

The formula of Al³⁺ and SO₄²⁻ is aluminum sulfate.

Explanation:

The formula for aluminum sulfate is Al₂(SO₄)₃. If we say in terms of ions. The ions are Al³⁺. It is a positive ion or the cation. Other ion is SO₄²⁻. It is sulfate ion. It is anion.

Aluminum sulphate is used in water purification and as a mordant in dyeing and printing textiles.

Hence, the formula of Al³⁺ and SO₄²⁻ is aluminum sulfate.
