A compound contains 38.7% K, 13.9% N, and 47.4% O by mass. What is the empirical formula of the compound?

1 answer:

8 0

K ---> 38.7 g / 39.1 g/mol = 0.99
N ---> 13.9 g / 14.0 g/mol = 0.99
O ---> 47.4 g / 16.0 g/mol = 2.96

Divide by smallest:

K ---> 0.99 / 0.99 = 1
N ---> 0.99 / 0.99 = 1
O ---> 2.96 / 0.99 = 3

What is the number of moles in 15.0 g AsH3?

pentagon [3]

We are given with the mass of Arsine ( $AsH_{3}$

The mass of arsine is 15g

there is a relation between moles, mass and molar mass of any compound which is

$moles=\frac{mass}{molarmass}$

The molar mass of Arsine = atomic mass of As + 3X atomic mass of H

the molar mass of Arsine = 74.92 + 3X 1 = 77.92 g/mol

Let us calculate the moles as

$moles=\frac{15}{77.92}=0.192mol$

What impact would a sudden increase in the price of wood have on producers and consumer? How might each group respond to the cha

Lisa [10]

The law of supply states, things remaining equal, an increase in price results in an increase in quantity supplied. The direct relation which is between the price and quantity.

Therefore, when the price of wood increases, then the producers increases the quantity which is produced as they are willing to sell more at a higher price. Each group might respond to the change in price in that, the law of demand states that all things are equal.
A decrease in a quantity leads to an increase in price which is demanded. The existence in an inverse relation which is between price and quantity.
When the demand for good increases the consumer demand decreases.
