Answer:

Empirical formula of the compound is HgSO_{4}.

Explanation:

      Element                                            molar mass (g/mol)

         Hg                                                            200.59

          S                                                              32.065

          O                                                              15.999

100 g of the compound contains 67.6 g Hg, 10.8 g of S and 21.6 g of O.

So ratio of number of moles (n) of all the constituting elements in 100 g of the compound is given as:      

n_{Hg}:n_{S}:n_{O}   = \frac{67.6}{200.59}:\frac{10.8}{32.065}:\frac{21.6}{15.999}

                        = 0.337 : 0.337 : 1.35

                       \approx 1: 1: 4

So empirical formula of the compound is HgSO_{4}

Which of the following statements regarding glucose is FALSE?a) Glucose is the main component of starch and glycogen.b) Glucose
marishachu [46]

Answer:

The correct option is C.

Explanation:

Carbohydrates are one of the macro molecules that are consumed by living organisms. The end product of carbohydrate is glucose. Glucose is a very important fuel that the body cells used to produce energy, which they use to carry out their daily activities. Glucose is also known as blood sugar and it is the only fuel that living cells can use for the production of ATP. Other food macro molecules such as lipids and proteins can also be converted to glucose if there is a need for that. Glucose is always stored in the body in form of glycogen.

The statement given in option C about glucose is wrong because glucose is a monosaccharide and not a disaccharide.

Find the formula for the hydrate<br>0.737 g MgSO3 and 0.763 g H2O
babunello [35]

The required formula of hydrate is MgSO₃.6H₂O.

<h3>How do we calculate the formula of hydrate?</h3>

The number of moles of water per mole of anhydrous solid (x) will be computed by dividing the number of moles of water by the number of moles of anhydrous solid (x) to find the hydrate's formula.

Moles will be calculated as:
n = W/M, where

  • W = given mass
  • M = molar mass

Moles of MgSO₃ = 0.737g / 104.3g/mol = 0.007mol

Moles of H₂O = 0.763g / 18g/mol = 0.04 mol

Number of H₂O molecule = 0.04/0.007 = 5.7 = 6

So formula of hydrate is MgSO₃.6H₂O.

Hence required formula of hydrate compound is MgSO₃.6H₂O.

2Al + 6HCl --&gt; 2AlCl3 + 3H2 Aluminium reacts with hydrochloric acid. How many grams of aluminum are necessary to produce 11 L
dem82 [27]

Answer:

8.8g of Al are necessaries

Explanation:

Based on the reaction, 2 moles of Al are required to produce 3 moles of hydrogen gas.

To solve this question we must find the moles of H2 in 11L at STP using PV = nRT. With these moles we can find the moles of Al required and its mass as follows:

<em>Moles H2:</em>

PV = nRT; PV/RT = n

<em>Where P is pressure = 1atm at STP; V is volume = 11L; R is gas constant = 0.082atmL/molK and T is absolute temperature = 273.15K at STP</em>

Replacing:

1atm*11L/0.082atmL/molK*273.15K = n

n = 0.491 moles of H2 must be produced

<em />

<em>Moles Al:</em>

0.491 moles of H2 * (2mol Al / 3mol H2) = 0.327moles of Al are required

<em />

<em>Mass Al -Molar mass: 26.98g/mol-:</em>

0.327moles of Al * (26.98g / mol) = 8.8g of Al are necessaries

At a certain temperature, 0.900 mol of SO3 is placed in a 2.00-L container.
Goryan [66]

Answer:

Kc = 2.34 mol*L

Explanation:

The calculation of the Kc of a reaction is performed using the values of the concentrations of the participants in the equilibrium.

A + B ⇄ C + D

Kc = [C] * [D] / [A] * [B]

According to the reaction

Kc = [SO2]^2 * [O2]^2 / [SO3]^2

Knowing the 0.900 mol of SO3 is placed in a 2.00-L it means we have a 0.450 mol/L of SO3

0.450 --> 0 + 0 (Beginning of the reaction)

0.260 --> 0.260 + 0.130 (During the reaction)

0.190 --> 0.260 + 0.130 (Equilibrium of the reaction)

Kc = [0.260]^2 + [0.130]^2 / [0.190]^2

Kc = 2.34 mol*L
