Answer:
MoClBr₂
Explanation:
First we calculate the mass of bromine in the compound:
- 300.00 g - (82.46224 g + 45.741 g) = 171.79676 g
Then we<u> calculate the number of moles of each element</u>, using their <em>respective molar masses</em>:
- 82.46224 g Mo ÷ 95.95 g/mol = 0.9594 mol Mo
- 45.741 g Cl ÷ 35.45 g/mol = 1.290 mol Cl
- 171.79676 g Br ÷79.9 g/mol = 2.150 mol Br
Now we <u>divide those numbers of moles by the lowest number among them</u>:
- 0.9594 mol Mo / 0.9594 = 1
- 1.290 mol Cl / 0.9594 = 1.34 ≅ 1
- 2.150 mol Br / 0.9594 = 2.24 ≅ 2
Meaning the empirical formula is MoClBr₂.
I believe it is A)fuel is more readily available:)
The chemical equation is:
CH₄ + 2O₂ → CO₂ + 2H₂O
First, we calculate the moles of methane present using:
Moles = mass / molecular mass
Moles = 20 / 16
Moles = 1.25
Next, we may observe from the chemical equation that the molar ratio between methane and oxygen is 1 : 2
So the moles of oxygen required are 2 x 1.25
2.5 moles of oxygen required
Mass = moles * molecular mass
Mass = 2.5 * 32
Moles = 80
C. 80 grams O₂
