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

ANEK [815]

Answer:

The final pressure of the gas is 0.915atm

Explanation:

We have to apply the Charles Gay Lussac Law, where the pressure changes directly proportional to absolute T°

- No change in volume

- The same moles in both situations

P1 / T1  =  P2 / T2

0.991 atm / 342K = P2 / 316k

(0.991 atm / 342K) . 316K = P2

0.915 atm = P2

Ca(s) + O₂(g) + S(s) → CaSO4(s)
san4es73 [151]

The mass of Calcium required to complete this reaction is 4.008 g.

  • Law of conservation of mass states that In a closed system, mass cannot be produced or destroyed, but it can be changed from one form to another.
  • The mass of the chemical constituents before a chemical reaction is equal to the mass of the constituents after the reaction.
  • In several disciplines, including chemistry, mechanics, and fluid dynamics, the idea of mass conservation is widely applied.

In the given reaction mass of product after completion of reaction is 13.614 g that means total mass of constituents before reaction should also be 13.614.

So,

mass of Ca + mass of O₂ + mass of S = mass of CaSO4

Ca + 6.400 g + 3.206 g = 13.614 g

mass of Ca = 13.614 - 9.606 = 4.008 g

Therefore, by law of conservation of mass 4.008 g of Ca is required for the completion of the reaction.
