I bet that the answer was D too. I hope this will help you. :)
The answer to your question is dependent variable.
<span>The density of the solution =1.05 g/ml.
</span><span>The total mass of the resulting solution is = 398.7 g (CaCl2 + water)
</span>
Find moles of CaCl2 and water.
Molar mass of CaCl2 = 110 (approx.)
Moles of CaCl2 = 23.7 / 110 = 0.22
so, moles of Cl- ion = 2 x 0.22 = 0.44 (because each molecule of CaCl2 will give two Cl- ions)
Moles of water = 375 / 18 = 20.83
Now, Mole fraction of CaCl2 = (moles of CaCl2) / (total moles)
total moles = moles of Cl- ions + moles of Ca2+ ions + moles of water
= 0.44 + 0.22 + 20.83
=21.49
So, mole fraction = 0.44 / (21.49) = 0.02
Guess what !!! density is not used. No need
The empirical formula of this compound is
<u>Given the following data:</u>
<u>Scientific data:</u>
- Molar mass of hydrogen (H) = 1.0 g/mol.
- Molar mass of sulfur (S) = 32 g/mol.
- Molar mass of oxygen (O) = 16 g/mol.
To determine the empirical formula of this compound:
Note: We would assume that the mass of the compound is 100 grams.
Hence, the mass of its constituent elements are:
- Mass of hydrogen (H) = 2.00 grams
- Mass of sulfur (S) = 32.7 grams
- Mass of oxygen (O) = 65.3 grams
Next, we would determine the number of moles of each element by using this formula:
<u>For </u><u>hydrogen</u><u> (</u><u>H</u><u>):</u>
Number of moles = 2.0 moles
<u>For </u><u>sulfur</u><u> (</u><u>S</u><u>):</u>
Number of moles = 1.0 moles
<u>For </u><u>oxygen</u><u> (</u><u>O</u><u>):</u>
Number of moles = 4.0 moles
