Answer:

Fe₃Si₇

Explanation:

In order to determine the empirical formula, we have to follow a series of steps.

Step 1: Determine the percent composition

Fe: 46.01%

Si: 53.99%

Step 2: Divide each percentage by the atomic mass of the element

Fe: 46.01/55.85 = 0.8238

Si: 53.99/28.09 = 1.922

Step 3: Divide all the numbers by the smallest one

Fe: 0.8238/0.8238 = 1

Si: 1.922/0.8238 = 2.33

Step 4: Multiply by numbers that make the coefficients whole.

Fe: 1 × 3 = 3

Si: 2.33 × 3 = 7

The empirical formula is Fe₃Si₇.

What is the pressure of 0.5 mol of nitrogen gas in a 5 L container at 203 K
vlada-n [284]

Answer:

=1.666 liters

Explanation:

1 mole of a has at standard temperature and pressure occupies a volume of 22.4 liters.

0.5 moles of nitrogen occupy a volume of (0.5 moles×22.4 dm³/mol)/ 1

=11.2 liters.

Standard pressure= 1 atmosphere (Atm)

Standard temperature = 273.15 Kelvin

According to Combined gas equation, P₁V₁/T₁=P₂V₂/T₂

Let us take the conditions under standard conditions as the reference, with the subscript 1 and the conditions under the 5L container to be scenario 2 with subscript 2.

Therefore P₂ =P₁V₁T₂/T₁V₂

Substituting for the values we get:

P₂= (1 atm× 11.2L ×203K)/ (273K×5L)

=1.666 atm

How are a flashlight and lightening similar and how are they different?
grandymaker [24]
<span>A flashlight is an electric-powered light source; the light source is a light bulb or an LED. The electrical energy is converted into visible light. Flashlights can be hand-held or mounted to a platform. Light from a lighting, on the other hand, is formed by exciting electrons to a higher state. </span>

Equal masses (in grams) of hydrogen gas and oxygen gas are reacted to form water. Which substance is limiting?
Sonbull [250]

Answer:

a. Oxygen gas is limiting

Explanation:

hydrogen gas and oxygen gas are reacted to form water

2H₂ + O₂  →  2H₂O

the above balanced equation shows that 2 moles of H₂ is required for 1 mole of O₂

Given equal masses of H₂ and O₂

assuming 'x' gm for each, no. of moles of each gas  =

no. of moles of H₂ = x/2 = 0.5x moles

no.of moles of O₂ = x/32 = 0.031x moles

This shows that no. of moles of O₂ is very less so O₂ will become the limiting reagent.
