We are given with the mass of  pure iron that reacts with oxygen to form an oxide which has a given mass as well. the mass of oxygen reacted is 8.15-6.25 g or 1.9 grams. THen we convert the mass of the reactants to moles. Iron is equal to 0.1119 moles and oxygen is equal to 0.1188. We divide each number to the less amount. Hence iron is 1 and oxygen is approx 1. The empirical formula hence is FeO or ferrous oxide or Iron (II) oxide.

6. A silver ring has a mass of 5.25 grams also. Calculate the number of silver atoms present in the ring?
valentinak56 [21]
6. You must divide the mass by it’s molar mass to give you the total amount of moles within that piece. This will give you approx 0.05mol. You can now multiply this value by Avagadros constant which gives you 2.93 x 10^22 atoms. I would expect gold to have less atoms as it’s molar mass is higher than that of silvers, meaning that less atoms would be required to equal the same mass

What could cause a less than 100% yield?
Phantasy [73]
That’s a dumb question, because It depends on the experiment. I would guess “a” or “d” because in most cases running out of time during a lab, or getting impatient, etc can give you a lower yield.

Unless I’m misreading “d”, it just seems like a more in-depth version of “a”. So it wouldn’t hurt to try that one.

To find the molecular formula from the empirical formula, one must determine the compounds _____
xxTIMURxx [149]

Answer:

Relative molecular of the compound or infomation like vapour density, volume occupied by a known mass of its vapour at stp, etc

Explanation:

The molecular mass of a compound is twice its vapour density. We can find the molecular formula using the relationship below:

  •    Empirical formula is the simplest formula of a compound. It repeats itself "n" times to become a molecular formula i.e (EF)ₙ = MF...... n is the number of times the empirical formula presents in a mole of the compound.
  • Most times, n is a whole number like 1,2,3,.....

Is food coloring dissolving in water a chemical change
zubka84 [21]
Answer: There no chemical change, but there is a physical change.


Reason: When a substance dissolves in water, the substance retains its molecular identity and simply mixes throughout the water
