Answer:

The answer to your question is empirical formula   Al₃O₉S

Explanation:

Data

Al = 31.5 %

O = 56.1 %

S = 12.4 %

Process

1.- Look for the atomic masses of the elements

Al = 27 g

O = 16

S = 32

2.- Represent the percentages as grams

Al = 31.5 g

O = 56.1 g

S = 12.4 g

3.- Convert these masses to moles

                               27 g of Al ----------------- 1 mol

                               31.5 g ----------------------  x

                                x = 1.17 moles

                               16 g of O ----------------  1 mol

                               56.1 g of O -------------  x

                                  x = 3.5 mol

                               32 g of S ---------------  1 mol

                               12.4 g of S -------------   x

                                x = 0.39 moles

4.- Divide by the lowest number of moles

Al =   1.17 / 0.39  = 3

O =    3.5 / 0.39 = 8.9 ≈ 9

S  =   0.39 / 0.39 = 1

5.- Write the empirical equation

                                Al₃O₉S

Given that a for HCN is 6. 2×10^−10 at 25 °C. What is the value of b for cn− at 25 °C?
Kay [80]

If Ka for HCN is 6. 2×10^−10 at 25 °C, then the value of Kb for cn− at 25 °C is 1.6 × 10^(-5).

<h3>What is base dissociation constant? </h3><h3 />

The base dissociation constant (Kb) is defined as the measurement of the ions which base can dissociate or dissolve in the aqueous solution. The greater the value of base dissociation constant greater will be its basicity an strength.

The dissociation reaction of hydrogen cyanide can be given as

HCN --- (H+) + (CN-)

Given,

The value of Ka for HCN is 6.2× 10^(-10)

The correlation between base dissociation constant and acid dissociation constant is

Kw = Ka × Kb

Kw = 10^(-14)

Substituting values of Ka and Kw,

Kb = 10^(-14) /{6.2×10^(-10) }

= 1.6× 10^(-5)

Thus, the value of base dissociation constant at 25°C is 1.6 × 10^(-5).

If 12.5 grams of the original sample of cesium-137 remained after 90.6 years, what was the mass of the original sample?
myrzilka [38]

Answer:

Mass of original sample = 100 g

Explanation:

Half life of cesium-137 = 30.17 years

t_{1/2}=\frac {ln\ 2}{k}

Where, k is rate constant

So,  

k=\frac{\ln2}{t_{1/2}}

k=\frac{\ln2}{30.17}\ year^{-1}

The rate constant, k = 0.02297 year⁻¹

Time = 90.6 years

Using integrated rate law for first order kinetics as:

[A_t]=[A_0]e^{-kt}

Where,  

[A_t] is the concentration at time t

[A_0] is the initial concentration

Initial concentration [A_0] = ?

Final concentration [A_t] = 12.5 grams

Applying in the above equation, we get that:-

12.5\ g=[A_0]e^{-0.02297\times 90.6}

[A_0]=\frac{12.5}{e^{-0.02297\times 90.6}}\ g=100\ g

<u>Mass of original sample = 100 g</u>

Physical activity and exercise typically lead to __________.
polet [3.4K]
<span>Physical activity and exercise typically lead to higher energy levels. As your body gets used to working hard consistently, you tend to be more prepared and in better physical condition. Your body begins to learn that you should burn up calories quickly to prepare to be active, and this results in increased energy levels even when you're not currently exercising.</span>

Can anyone please help me find molar masses of compounds. For example Copper (ll) sulfate (CuSO4)
Alina [70]

Answer:

Explanation:

You would have to add up the atomic masses of all the compounds in the compound, making sure you include how many molecules of each are in the compound

For example, in CuSOA we have 1 molecule of Cu and S, as 4 molecules of O

The atomic masses are as follows:

Cu = 63.55 u

S = 32.065 u

O = 15.99 units

This is how we would add it up:

(Atomic mass of Cu) + (Atomic mass of S) + 4(Atomic Mass of O)

(63.55) + (32.065) + 4(15.99)

(63.55) + (32.065) + 63.96

= 159.575 u
