1. An oxide of chromium is found to have the following % composition: 68.4% Cr

Chemistry

abruzzese [7]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

Empirical formula is Cr₂O₃.

Explanation:

Given data:

Percentage of Cr = 68.4%

Percentage of O = 31.6%

Empirical formula = ?

Solution:

Number of gram atoms of Cr = 68.4 / 52 = 1.3 2

Number of gram atoms of O = 31.6 / 16 = 1.98

Atomic ratio:

                            Cr               :         O

                           1.32/1.32     :       1.98/1.32

                               1              :        1.5

Cr : O = 1 :  1.5

Cr : O = 2(1 : 1.5)

Empirical formula is Cr₂O₃.

A horizontal pipe 15 cm in diameter and 4 m long is buried in the earth at a depth of 20 cm. The pipe-wall temperature is 75 deg
Basile [38]

Explanation:

The given data for case (1) is as follows.

  h = 20 cm = 0.2 m

Assuming that a rectangular slab is placed above the pipe and we will calculate the heat transfer as follows.

              Q = kA \frac{\Delta T}{L}

  where,    A = area

                  L = length

                  k = thermal conductivity = 0.8 W/m

             \Delta T = change in temperature.

Therefore, putting the given values into the above formula as follows.

            Q = kA \frac{\Delta T}{L}

                = 0.8 W/m \times (4 m \times 0.15 m) \frac{75 - 5}{0.2}

                = 168 W

For case (2), h = 180 cm = 1.8 m

Therefore, heat lost will be calculated as follows.

                       Q = kA \frac{\Delta T}{L}

                           = 0.8 W/m \times (4 m \times 0.15 m) \frac{75 - 5}{1.8}

                           = 18.67 W

Thus, we can conclude that 18.67 W heat lost if the pipe was buried at a depth of 180 cm.

A compound is found to contain 38.65 % carbon, 16.25 % hydrogen, and 45.09 % nitrogen by mass. what is the empirical formula for
iren [92.7K]

The molar mass of carbon is 12, hydrogen is 1, and nitrogen is 14, hence the ratio are:

 

C = 38.65 / 12 = 3.22

H = 16.25 / 1 = 16.25

N = 45.09 / 14 = 3.22

 

Divide the three by the lowest ratio which is 3.22:

 

C = 3.22 / 3.22 = 1

H = 16.25 / 3.22 = 5

N = 3.22 / 3.22 = 1

 

So the empirical formula is:

CHN

Is ammonium ion a bronsted base
Leokris [45]

Unlikely. It's unlikely for ammonium ion {\text{NH}_4}^{+} to accept a proton \text{H}^{+} and act as a Bronsted-Lowry Acid.

<h3>Explanation</h3>

What's the definition of Bronsted-Lowry acids and bases?

  • Bronsted-Lowry Acid: a species that can donate one or more protons \text{H}^{+} in a reaction.
  • Bronsted-Lowry Base: a species that can accept one or more protons \text{H}^{+}

Ammonium ions {\text{NH}_4}^{+} are positive. Protons \text{H}^{+} are also positive.

Positive charges repel each other, which means that it will be difficult for {\text{NH}_4}^{+} to accept any additional protons. As a result, it's unlikely that {\text{NH}_4}^{+} will accept <em>any</em> proton and act like a Bronsted-Lowry Base.
