<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

What is the volume of 0.640 grams of Oz gas at Standard Temperature and Pressure (STP)?
Ilia_Sergeevich [38]

Answer: The volume of 0.640 grams of O_{2} gas at Standard Temperature and Pressure (STP) is 0.449 L.

Explanation:

Given: Mass of O_{2} gas = 0.640 g

Pressure = 1.0 atm

Temperature = 273 K

As number of moles is the mass of substance divided by its molar mass.

So, moles of O_{2} (molar mass = 32.0 g/mol) is as follows.

No. of moles = \frac{mass}{molar mass}\\= \frac{0.640 g}{32.0 g/mol}\\= 0.02 mol

Now, ideal gas equation is used to calculate the volume as follows.

PV = nRT

where,

P = pressure

V = volume

n = no. of moles

R = gas constant = 0.0821 L atm/mol K

T = temperature

Substitute the values into above formula as follows.

PV = nRT\\1.0 atm \times V = 0.02 mol \times 0.0821 L atm/mol K \times 273 K\\V = 0.449 L

Thus, we can conclude that the volume of 0.640 grams of O_{2} gas at Standard Temperature and Pressure (STP) is 0.449 L.
