<h3>Answer:</h3>

Empirical formula is CrO

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

<u>We are given;</u>

  • Mass of sample of Chromium as 7.337 gram
  • Mass of the metal oxide formed as 9.595 g

We are required to determine the empirical formula of the metal oxide.

<h3>Step 1 ; Determine the mass of oxygen used </h3>

Mass of oxygen = Mass of the metal oxide - mass of the metal

                          = 9.595 g - 7.337 g

                         = 2.258 g

<h3>Step 2: Determine the moles of chromium and oxygen</h3>

Moles of chromium metal

Molar mass of chromium = 51.996 g/mol

Moles of Chromium = 7.337 g ÷ 51.996 g/mol

                                 = 0.141 moles

Moles of oxygen

Molar mass of oxygen = 16.0 g/mol

Moles of Oxygen = 2.258 g ÷ 16.0 g/mol

                            = 0.141 moles

<h3>Step 3: Determine the simplest mole number ratio of Chromium to Oxygen</h3>

Mole ratio of Chromium to Oxygen

          Cr : O

0.141 mol : 0.141 mol

             1 : 1

Empirical formula is the simplest whole number ratio of elements in a compound.

Thus the empirical formula of the metal oxide is CrO

Quantitative is anything that is relating to a number value. Think “quantity”

Example:

1. There are 5 ml of water
2. There are 3 beakers
3. It takes 30 minutes for the reaction

Qualitative is about characteristics that can be described

Example

1. The liquid is green
2. The solution turned into a gas
3. Bubbles were produced

Cual es el calor específico de una sustancia que tiene una masa de 15 g y una capacidad térmica de 0.550 calC
mr Goodwill [35]

Answer:

Explanation:

Q = Ce . m .ΔT

Q : calor  

Ce : calor especifico

m: masa  

ΔT : variación de temperatura

capacidad térmica : 0,550 cal / °C

lectura :

por 1 °C se tiene 0,550 cal

por lo tanto  tenemos datos de la temperatura y del calor

pero no olvidar las unidades en el sistema internacional :

Ce : J / kg . K

J: joules

kg: kilogramo

K: kelvin  

pasar de gramos a kilogramos

pasar de calorías a joules

pasar de grado celsius a kelvin

1000g equivale a 1kg

15g     equivale a 0,015 kg

K= °C + 273 ⇒ formula para pasar de grado celsius a kelvin

K=  1 + 273

K= 274

1 caloría equivale a  4,184 joules

0,550 caloría  equivale a 2,3012 joules

ahora como todos los datos ya están en el S.I remplazamos en la formula

Q = Ce . m .ΔT

2,3012 = Ce . 0,015.274

Ce=0,5599 J / kg. K

What is the velocity of a first-order reaction when the reactant concentration is 6 x 10-2M and the rate constant is 8 x 103sec-
tresset_1 [31]

Answer:

D) 4.8 × 10² M/s

Explanation:

Let's consider the following generic reaction.

A → B

The rate law is:

v = k . [A]ⁿ

where,

v: velocity

k: rate constant

[A]: concentration of the reactant A

n: reaction order for A

<em>What is the velocity of a first-order reaction when the reactant concentration is 6 × 10⁻²M and the rate constant is 8 × 10³s⁻¹?</em>

v = k . [A]¹ = 8 x 10³s⁻¹ . 6 x 10⁻²M = 4.8 × 10² M/s
