An empirical formula is the chemical formula showing the simplest ratio of elements in a compound rather than the total number of atoms.
For example the molecule 'CH2O' is the empirical formula for glucose.
1. name: cobalt(iii) bromate
formula : Co(BrO)3
2. name: potassium acetate
formula: KC2H3O2
Answer:
the mole fraction of Gas B is xB= 0.612 (61.2%)
Explanation:
Assuming ideal gas behaviour of A and B, then
pA*V=nA*R*T
pB*V=nB*R*T
where
V= volume = 10 L
T= temperature= 25°C= 298 K
pA and pB= partial pressures of A and B respectively = 5 atm and 7.89 atm
R= ideal gas constant = 0.082 atm*L/(mol*K)
therefore
nA= (pA*V)/(R*T) = 5 atm* 10 L /(0.082 atm*L/(mol*K) * 298 K) = 2.04 mole
nB= (pB*V)/(R*T) = 7.89 atm* 10 L /(0.082 atm*L/(mol*K) * 298 K) = 3.22 mole
therefore the total number of moles is
n = nA +nB= 2.04 mole + 3.22 mole = 5.26 mole
the mole fraction of Gas B is then
xB= nB/n= 3.22 mole/5.26 mole = 0.612
xB= 0.612
Note
another way to obtain it is through Dalton's law
P=pB*xB , P = pA+pB → xB = pB/(pA+pB) = 7.69 atm/( 5 atm + 7.89 atm) = 0.612
there are 92 naturally occuring elements
<span>If "hf" is the standard heat of formation, the Hf for Al is zero -- as it is for all elements in their standard state. The standard heat of formation for water is −285.8 kJ/mol. Thank you for posting your question here. I hope the answer helps. </span>
