The molecular formula is C₅H₁₀O₅.

EF = CH₂O

EF Mass = (12.01 + 2.016 + 16.00) u = 30.03 u

MF mass = 150 u

MF = (EF)_<em>n </em>

<em>n</em> = MF Mass/EF Mass = 150 u/30.03 u = 4.995 ≈ 5

MF = (CH₂O)₅ = C₅H₁₀O₅

NeX [460]

Answer: The molar mass of the gas is 31.6 g/mol

Explanation:

According to ideal gas equation:

$PV=nRT$

P = pressure of gas = 3.0 atm

V = Volume of gas = 25.0 L

n = number of moles = ?

R = gas constant = $0.0821Latm/Kmol$

T =temperature = $27.0^0C=(27.0+273)K=300K$

$n=\frac{PV}{RT}$

$n=\frac{3.0atm\times 25.0L}{0.0821 L atm/K mol\times 300K}=3.04moles$

Moles = $\frac{\text {given mass}}{\text {Molar mass}}$

$3.04=\frac{96.0g}{\text {Molar mass}}$

${\text {Molar mass}}=31.6g/mol$

The molar mass of the gas is 31.6 g/mol

Determine the molar mass of a 0.458-gram sample of gas having a volume of 1.20 l at 287 k and 0.980 atm. group of answer choices

lilavasa [31]

Considering the ideal gas law and the definition of molar mass, the molar mass of the sample of gas is 9.17 $\frac{g}{mol}$ .

<h3>Ideal gas law</h3>

An ideal gas is a theoretical gas that is considered to be composed of randomly moving point particles that do not interact with each other. Gases in general are ideal when they are at high temperatures and low pressures.

The pressure, P, the temperature, T, and the volume, V, of an ideal gas, are related by a simple formula called the ideal gas law:

P×V = n×R×T

where:

P is the gas pressure.
V is the volume that occupies.
T is its temperature.
R is the ideal gas constant. The universal constant of ideal gases R has the same value for all gaseous substances.
n is the number of moles of the gas.

<h3>Definition of molar mass</h3>

The molar mass of substance is a property defined as its mass per unit quantity of substance, in other words, molar mass is the amount of mass that a substance contains in one mole.

<h3>Molar mass of the sample of gas</h3>

In this case you know:

P= 0.980 arm
V= 1.20 L
T= 287 K
R= 0.082 $\frac{atmL}{molK}$
n= ?

Replacing in the ideal gas law:

0.980 atm× 1.20 L= n× 0.082 $\frac{atmL}{molK}$ × 287 K

Solving:

(0.980 atm× 1.20 L)÷ (0.082 $\frac{atmL}{molK}$ × 287 K)= n

<u><em>0.04997 moles= n</em></u>

On the other hand, you know that the<u><em> mass of the sample of gas</em></u> is <u><em>0.458 grams</em></u>. Replacing in the definition of molar mass:

$molar mass=\frac{0.458 grams}{0.04997 moles}$

Solving:

<u><em>molar mass= 9.17 </em></u> $\frac{g}{mol}$

Finally, the molar mass of the sample of gas is 9.17 $\frac{g}{mol}$ .

How do you balance a chemical equation

Dominik [7]

There should be mass balance and the charge balance between the reactants and the products

Mass balance : total no of individual atoms of each type should be balanced before and after the reaction

Charge balance : Overall charge of the reactants should be balanced with the overall charge of the products

You can balance,

1)by just looking at it

2)by Algebraic method given above or

3)by the redox method

You need to know how to get the oxidation numbers in order to use the oxidation method

Name the element described in each of the following:

borishaifa [10]

Alkaline earth metal whose cation isoelectric with Kr is strontium (Sr).

What is Alkaline earth metal?

Six chemical elements from group 2 of the periodic chart make up the alkaline earth metals. They are boron (R), barium (Ba), calcium (Ca), strontium (Sr), magnesium (Mg), beryllium (Be), and radium (Ra). The elements share many characteristics, including being glossy, silvery-white, moderately reactive metals at standard pressure and temperature.

They share a full outer s-orbital structurally, meaning that this orbital includes all two of its electrons, which the alkaline earth metals rapidly lose to form cations with a charge of +2 and an oxidation state of +2.

All of the identified alkaline earth metals are found in nature, albeit radium is not a primordial element but only appears as part of the decay chain of uranium and thorium.

The chemical element strontium has the atomic number 38 and the symbol Sr. Strontium is a soft, silver-white, yellowish metallic element that is an alkaline earth metal and has a strong reactivity to chemicals. When the metal is exposed to air, a thick layer of dark oxide forms. Similar to its two vertical neighbors in the periodic table, barium and calcium, strontium exhibits physical and chemical characteristics. It is mostly obtained from the minerals celestine and strontianite, where it is found naturally.
