Answer:

Empirical formula (which matches the molecular formula) is = PbC₈H₂₀

Explanation:

Our sample: 60 g of tetraethyl lead

In order to determine the compound empirical formula we need the centesimal composition:

(Mass of element / Total mass) . 100 =

(38.43 g lead / 60g ) . 100 = 64.05%

(17.83 g C / 60g) . 100 = 29.72%

(3.74 g H / 60g) . 100 = 6.23 %

These % are the mass of the elements in 100 g of compound. Let's find out the moles of them:

64.05 g / 207.2 g/mol = 0.309 moles

29.72 g / 12 g/mol = 2.48 moles

6.23 g/ 1 g/mol = 6.23 moles

Next, we divide the moles, by the lowest value of them (0.309)

0.309 / 0.309 = 1 mol Pb

2.48 / 0.309 = 8 mol C

6.23 / 0.309 = 20 mol H

There, we have our formula PbC₈H₂₀

1, When temperature is increased the volume will also increase. this is because the particles will gain kinetic energy and bombard the walls of the container of the gas at a higher frequency, therefore, for the pressure to remain constant as per Charles' law, the volume will have to increase so that the rate of bombardment remains constant. This is explained by the Charles law which states that the volume of a gas is directly proportional to the absolute temperature provided pressure remains constant.

2. When temperature is Decreased the volume will also Decrease. this is because the particles will loose kinetic energy and bombard the walls of the container of the gas less frequently, therefore, for the pressure to remain constant as per Charles' law, the volume will have to reduce so that the rate of bombardment remains constant. This is explained by the Charles law which states that the volume of a gas is directly proportional to the absolute temperature provided pressure remains constant.

3. When temperature is increased the pressure will increase. This is because the gas particles gain kinetic energy and bombard the walls of the container more frequently. this is according to Pressure law which states that for a constant volume of a gas the pressure is directly proportional to absolute temperature

4. When temperature is decreased, pressure will decrease, This is because the gas particles lose kinetic energy and bombard the walls of the container less frequently. this is according to Pressure law which states that for a constant volume of a gas the pressure is directly proportional to absolute temperature

5. When particles are added, pressure will increase. This is because the bombardment per unit area also increases. Boyles law explains this, that at fixed temperature the volume of a gas is inversely proportional to the pressure.

6. When particles are removed, the pressure will decrease. This is because the bombardment per unit area also decreases. Boyle's law explains this, that at fixed temperature the volume of a gas is inversely proportional to the pressure.

_Fe2O3 + 2CO —&gt; _Fe + _CO2
soldi70 [24.7K]
<h3>Answer:</h3>

Fe₂O₃(s) + 3CO(g) → 2Fe(s) + 3CO₂(g)

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

Concept tested: Balancing of chemical equations

  • A chemical equation is balanced by putting appropriate coefficients on the products and reactants of the equation.
  • Balancing chemical equations ensures that chemical equations obey law of conservation of mass.
  • In this case; to balance the above equation we put the coefficients, 1, 3, 2, and 3 on the reactants and products.
  • Therefore; the balanced chemical equation for the reaction is;

      Fe₂O₃(s) + 3CO(g) → 2Fe(s) + 3CO₂(g)

Which statement describes an open circuit? The circuit is incomplete and broken, and the lights in the circuit shine. The circui
SVEN [57.7K]

Answer:

the third option

Explanation:

The circuit is incomplete and broken, and the lights in the circuit do not shine.

An open circuit means an incomplete circuit.

The first option is wrong since the lights do not shine in an open circuit.

The second option is wrong since an open circuit is incomplete.

The fourth option is also wrong since an open circuit is broken or incomplete.

∴ The third option is correct.
