<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

Andrew [12]

Answer:

The number of atoms present in one unit of the following compounds is:

a). Potassium Iodide , KI = 2

b).Sodium Sulfide, Na_{2}S = 3

c). Silicon Dioxide , SiO_{2} = 3

d). Carbonic Acid ,H_{2}CO_{3} = 6

Explanation:

Atomicity : It is defined as the number of atoms that are present in a given molecule/compound.

Atom : The smallest unit of matter is called atom. For e.g O is atom of oxygen but O_{2} is not an atom , it is molecule of oxygen .

O_{2} molecule has 2 atoms of Oxygen

Similarly  Na , K , Fe are atoms but O_{2} ,CO_{2} ,N_{2},H_{2}  are molecules

a).Potassium Iodide

KI = 1 atom of K + 1 atom of I

Total atoms = 2

b) Sodium Sulfide

Na_{2}S = 2 atoms of Na + 1 atom of S

Total atoms = 3

c) Silicon Dioxide

SiO_{2} = 1 atom of Si + 2 atoms of O

Total atoms = 3

d) Carbonic Acid

H_{2}CO_{3} = 2 atom of H + 1 atom of C + 3 atom of O

= 2+1+3

Total atoms = 6

The order of a reaction Z1) is the product of the powers to which the reactant concentrations are raised in the rate law. Z2) ca
irinina [24]

Explanation:

The Order of Reaction refers to the power dependence of the rate on the concentration of each reactant.

The overall order of reaction is the sum of the individual orders of reaction with respect to the reactants.

Rate = k [A]²[B]¹

In the rate law above, the rate is second order with respect to A and first order with respect to B. The overall order of reaction is a third order reaaction given as; 2+ 1 = 3

If 30 ml of water containing 15 mg of salicylate is extracted with 30 ml of chloroform, 2.59 mg of salicylate remains in the wat
In-s [12.5K]

Answer:

Distribution coefficient: 4.79

Explanation:

Distribution coefficient is the ratio between equilibrium concentration of non-aqueous phase and aqueous phase where both solvents are inmiscible. The equation for the problem is:

Distribution coefficient: Concentration in chloroform / Concentration in Water

<em>Concentration in water: 2.59mg / 30mL = 0.08633mg/mL</em>

<em>Concentration in chloroform: (15mg-2.59mg) / 30mL = 0.4137mg/mL</em>

<em />

Distribution coefficient: 0.4137mg/mL / 0.08633mg/mL

<h3>Distribution coefficient: 4.79</h3>

What’s the answer please gelp
romanna [79]

Answer:

Option A. 1.8×10²⁴ molecules.

Explanation:

Data obtained from the question include:

Number of mole of methane = 3 moles

Number of molecules of methane =?

From Avogadro's hypothesis, we understood that 1 mole of any substance contains 6.02×10²³ molecules.

Thus, 1 mole of methane equally contains 6.02×10²³ molecules.

With the above information in mind, we can obtain the number of molecules in 3 moles of methane as follow:

1 mole of methane contains 6.02×10²³ molecules.

Therefore, 3 moles of methane will contain = 3 × 6.02×10²³ = 1.8×10²⁴ molecules.

Thus, 3 moles of methane contains 1.8×10²⁴ molecules.
