Answer:

In chemistry, a radical is an atom, molecule, or ion that has an unpaired valence electron. With some exceptions, these unpaired electrons make radicals highly chemically reactive. Many radicals spontaneously dimerize. Most organic radicals have short lifetimes.

A sample compound contains 5.723g Ag, 0.852g S and 1.695g O. Determine its empirical formula.
Lubov Fominskaja [6]

Answer:

Ag_2SO_4

Explanation:

Formula for the calculation of no. of Mol is as follows:

mol=\frac{mass\ (g)}{molecular\ mass}

Molecular mass of Ag = 107.87 g/mol

Amount of Ag = 5.723 g

mol\ of\ Ag=\frac{5.723\ g}{107.87\ g/mol} =0.05305\ mol

Molecular mass of S = 32 g/mol

Amount of S = 0.852 g

mol\ of\ S=\frac{0.852\ g}{32\ g/mol} =0.02657\ mol

Molecular mass of O = 16 g/mol

Amount of O = 1.695 g

mol\ of\ O=\frac{1.695\ g}{16\ g/mol} =0.10594\ mol

In order to get integer value, divide mol by smallest no.

Therefore, divide by 0.02657

Ag, \frac{0.05305}{0.02657} \approx 2

S, \frac{0.02657}{0.02657} \approx 1

O, \frac{0.10594}{0.02657} \approx 4

Therefore, empirical formula of the compound = Ag_2SO_4

A 35.40 gram hydrate of sodium carbonate, Na2CO3•nH2O, is heated to a constant mass. Its final weight is 30.2 g. What is formula
Sever21 [200]

Answer:

Na₂CO₃•H₂O

Explanation:

After it is heated, the remaining mass is the mass of sodium carbonate.

30.2 g Na₂CO₃

Mass is conserved, so the difference is the mass of the water:

35.4 g − 30.2 g = 5.2 g H₂O

Convert masses to moles:

30.2 g Na₂CO₃ × (1 mol Na₂CO₃ / 106 g Na₂CO₃) = 0.285 mol Na₂CO₃

5.2 g H₂O × (1 mol H₂O / 18.0 g H₂O) = 0.289 mol H₂O

Normalize by dividing by the smallest:

0.285 / 0.285 = 1.00 mol Na₂CO₃

0.289 / 0.285 = 1.01 mol H₂O

The ratio is approximately 1:1.  So the formula of the hydrate is Na₂CO₃•H₂O.

If 0.959J of heat is added to 0.88g of water, how much will its temperature increase
ss7ja [257]

Answer:

0.260 Celsius

Explanation:

q =c x m x (T2-T1)

c - specific heat of water 4.186 J/g.C

T2-T1 = q /(c x m) = 0.959 /(4.186 x 0.88) = 0.959/3.68 =0.260 C
