Let us assume that there is a 100g sample of Opal. The masses of each element will be:
29.2g Si
33.3g O
37.5g H2O
Now we divide each constituent's mass by its Mr to get the moles present
Si: (29.2 / 28) = 1.04
O: (33.3 / 16) = 2.08
H2O: (37.5 / 18) = 2.08
Now we divide by the smallest number and obtain:
Si: 1
O: 2
H2O: 2
Thus, the empirical formula of Opal is:
SiO2 . 2H2O
Answer:
see notes below
Explanation:
The mole is the mass of substance containing 1 Avogadro's Number of particles. That is, 1 mole substance = 1 formula weight. For elements, 1 mole weight is equal to the atomic weight expressed as grams. For molecules, 1 mole weight is equal to the molecular weight expressed as grams.
1 mole = 1 formula weight
<u>Moles to Grams and Grams to Moles</u>
Grams => Moles
Given grams, moles = mass given / formula weight
*Ask the question => How many formula weights are there in the given mass? => Results is always moles.
Moles => Grams
Given moles, grams = moles given X formula weight
*Summary
Grams to Moles => divide by formula weight
Moles to Grams => multiply by formula weight
Answer:
Measuring with a ruler and using final volume minus initial volume
Explanation:
You can measure the volume of a geometric object by measuring its sides with a ruler and calculating the volume according to the corresponding formula for each object. For example, for a rectangular prism it would be
You can also measure the volume of an object by measuring how much water it displaces. To do this you have to fill a measuring cylinder with enough water for the object to be completely submerged and take note of the volume. Then, add the object and note again the volume of the water+object. The difference between both is the volume of the object.
The advantage of the second method is that it can be used for objects with irregular shapes as long as they do not float.
Answer:
The energy levels in an atom are similar to the rungs of a ladder, but they get closer together as they get farther from the nucleus. For an electron to move from one energy level to the next higher level, it must gain the right amount of energy. If less than that amount is available, the electron stays where it is.
