The question is incomplete, here is the complete question:

Gaseous compound Q contains only xenon and oxygen. When a 0.100 g sample of Q is placed in a 50.0-mL steel vessel at 0°C, the pressure is 0.229 atm. What is the likely formula of the compound?

A. XeO

B. $XeO_4$

C. $Xe_2O_2$

D. $Xe_2O_3$

E. $Xe_3O_2$

Answer: The chemical formula of the compound is $XeO_4$

Explanation:

To calculate the molecular mass of the compound, we use the equation given by ideal gas equation:

PV = nRT

Or,

$PV=\frac{w}{M}RT$

where,

P = Pressure of the gas = 0.229 atm

V = Volume of the gas = 50.0 mL = 0.050 L (Conversion factor: 1 L = 1000 mL)

w = Weight of the gas = 0.100 g

M = Molar mass of gas = ?

R = Gas constant = $0.0821\text{ L atm }mol^{-1}K^{-1}$

T = Temperature of the gas = $0^oC=273K$

Putting value in above equation, we get:

$0.229\times 0.050=\frac{0.100}{M}\times 0.0821\times 273\\\\M=\frac{0.100\times 0.0821\times 273}{0.229\times 0.050}=195.4g/mol\approx 195g/mol$

The compound having mass as 195 g/mol is $XeO_4$

Hence, the chemical formula of the compound is $XeO_4$

How can understanding atomic light help astronomers determine what planets are composed of?

GuDViN [60]

The most common method astronomers use to determine the composition of stars, planets, and other objects is spectroscopy. This process utilizes instruments with a grating that spreads out the light from an object by wavelength. This spread-out light is called a spectrum. Every element has a unique fingerprint that allows researchers to determine what it is made of.

The fingerprint often appears as the absorption of light. Every atom has electrons, and these electrons like to stay in their lowest-energy levels. But when photons carrying energy hit an electron, they can push it to higher energy levels. This is absorption, and each element’s electrons absorb light at specific wavelengths related to the difference between energy levels in that atom. But the electrons want to return to their original levels, so they don’t hold onto the energy for long. When they emit the energy, they release photons with exactly the same wavelengths of light that were absorbed in the first place. An electron can release this light in any direction, so most of the light is emitted in directions away from our line of sight. Therefore, a dark line appears in the spectrum at that particular wavelength.

Because the wavelengths at which absorption lines occur are unique for each element, astronomers can measure the position of the lines to determine which elements are present in a target. The amount of light that is absorbed can also provide information about how much of each element is present.
