Greetings!

<h3>To find the empirical formula you need the relative atomic mass of each element!</h3>

N = 14

H = 1

S = 32.1

<h3>You can simply change the percentages into full grams</h3>

N = 12.20

H = 6.06

S = 48.45

<h3>Then you use this to find the Number of moles = amount in grams / atomic mass</h3>

N = 12.20 ÷ 14 = 0.8714

H = 6.06 ÷ 1 = 6.06

S = 48.45 ÷ 32.1 = 1.541

<h3>Then divide each number of moles by the smallest value:</h3>

N = 0.8714 ÷ 0.8714 = 1

H = 6.06 ÷ 0.8714 = 6.9 ≈ 7

S = 1.541 ÷ 0.8714 = 1.76 ≈ 2

So that means that there are 1 Nitrogen, 7 hydrogen, and 2 sulfur. This means the empirical formula would be:

NH₇S₂

Hope this helps!

How many moles of potassium hydroxide are needed to completely react with 2.94 moles of aluminum sulfate

ArbitrLikvidat [17]

Answer:- Third choice is correct, 17.6 moles

Solution:- The given balanced equation is:

Al_2(SO_4)_3+6KOH\rightarrow 2Al(OH)_3+3K_2SO_4

We are asked to calculate the moles of potassium hydroxide needed to completely react with 2.94 moles of aluminium sulfate.

From the balanced equation, there is 1:6 mol ratio between aluminium sulfate and potassium hydroxide.

It is a simple mole to mole conversion problem. We solve it using dimensional set up as:

2.94molAl_2(SO_4)_3(\frac{6molKOH}{1molAl_2(SO_4)_3})

= 17.6 mol KOH

So, Third choice is correct, 17.6 moles of potassium hydroxide are required to react with 2.94 moles of aluminium sulfate.

If the half-life of 37Rb is 4.7x101 years, how long would it take for 0.5 grams of a 2 gram sample to radioactively decay?

k0ka [10]

<u>Answer:</u> The time required will be 19.18 years

<u>Explanation:</u>

All the radioactive reactions follows first order kinetics.

The equation used to calculate half life for first order kinetics:

$k=\frac{0.693}{t_{1/2}}$

We are given:

$t_{1/2}=4.7\times 10^1yrs$

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$k=\frac{0.693}{4.7\times 10^1yr}=0.015yr^{-1}$

Rate law expression for first order kinetics is given by the equation:

$k=\frac{2.303}{t}\log\frac{[A_o]}{[A]}$

where,

k = rate constant = $0.015yr^{-1}$

t = time taken for decay process = ?

$[A_o]$ = initial amount of the reactant = 2 g

[A] = amount left after decay process = (2 - 0.5) = 1.5 g

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$0.015yr^{-1}=\frac{2.303}{t}\log\frac{2}{1.5}\\\\t=19.18yrs$

Hence, the time required will be 19.18 years

To convert from liters/second to cubic gallons/minute, multiply the number of liters/second by 15.850 0 0.0353 00.2642 0 60

ivanzaharov [21]

Answer: 15.850

Explanation:

The conversion used from liters to gallons is:

1 L = 0.264172 gallon

The conversion used from sec to min is:

60 sec = 1 min

1 sec = $\frac{1}{60}\times 1=0.017min$

We are asked: liters/sec = gallons/min

$liters/sec=\frac{0.264172}{0.017}=15.850gallons/min$

Therefore, to convert from liters/second to gallons/minute, multiply the number of liters/second by 15.850.
