What is the empirical formula of a compound that contains 32.39 percent sodium, 22.53 percent sulfur, and 45.07 percent oxygen?

1 answer:

5 0

To get the empirical formula of this compound, we take a basis of 100 grams which means each percentage is equivalent to 1 gram. Hence there is 32.39 grams sodium, 22. 53 grams sulfur and 45.07 grams oxygen. We convert each mass to their moles by dividing by their respective molar mass. Na: 1.408, S:0.704 and O:2.82. divide each with the lowest: Na: 2: S: 1 and O:4. Hence the formula is Na2SO4.

What mass of agno3 can be dissolved in 250g of water at 20°c?

Mice21 [21]

Hello there,

You should know the <span>solubility of AgNO3 in water at 20°C equals to 2220 g/L.

So we can say that in 1 L of water, 2220 g of AgNO3 can be dissolve.

Now you should know 1L = 1000g.

Which means 1000 g of water can dissolve 2220 g of AgNO3.

Therefore :

</span>250 g<span> --> x
1000 g --> 2220 g

So : </span> $x = \frac{250*2220}{1000} = \frac{555000}{1000}= 555g$ .

In short, 555g of AgNO3 can be dissolved in 250g of water at 20°C.

Hope this helps !

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

The equilibrium constant is the value of the product in the equilibrium state of the substance in the right (product) divided by the substance in the left (reactant) with the exponents of each reaction coefficient

The equilibrium constant is based on the concentration (Kc) in a reaction

pA + qB -----> mC + nD

$\large {\boxed {\bold {Kc ~ = ~ \frac {[C] ^ m [D] ^ n} {[A] ^ p [B] ^ q}}}}$
