Which compound has the highest precent composition by mass of strontium?

1 answer:

4 0

First find the molar masses of all of the compounds:
SrCl2 = 158.53g/mol
SrI2 = 341.43g/mol
SrO = 103.62g/mol
SrS = 119.68g/mo

Then find the molar mass of Sr in each of the compounds. Since there is only one Sr in every compound, the mass will be the same: 87.62g/mol Sr

Now divide the molar mass of Sr by each of compounds' masses:
SrCl2 = (87.62)/(158.53) = 0.553
SrI2 = (87.62)/(341.43) = 0.257
SrO = (87.62)/(103.62) = 0.846
SrS = (87.62)/(119.68) = 0.732

Now multiply each of the results by 100 to get the percent composition of Sr by mass:
(0.553)(100) = 55.3% Sr in SrCl2
(0.257)(100) = 25.7% Sr in SrI2
(0.846)(100) = 84.6% Sr in SrO
(0.732)(100) = 73.2% Sr in SrS

Thus SrO has the highest percent composition by mass of Sr

Nitrogen dioxide (NO2) cannot be obtained in a pure form in the gas phase because it exists as a mixture of NO2 and N2O4. At 16°

Answer:

PNO₂ = 0.49 atm

PN₂O₄ = 0.45 atm

Explanation:

Let's begin with the equation of ideal gas, and derivate from it an equation that involves the density (ρ = m/V).

PV = nRT

n = m/M (m is the mass, and M the molar mass)

$PV = \frac{m}{M}RT$

$PxM = \frac{m}{V}RT$

PxM = ρRT

ρ = PxM/RT

With the density of the gas mixture, we can calculate the average of molar mass (Mavg), with the constant of the gases R = 0.082 atm.L/mol.K, and T = 16 + 273 = 289 K

$2.7 = \frac{0.94xMavg}{0.082x289}$
