<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

By what factor will the kinetic energy change if the speed of the baseball is decreased to 54.8 mi/h? Express your answer as an
Serggg [28]

Answer:

The Kinetic Energy is approximately 3 times decreased

Explanation:

A baseball weighs 5.13 oz.  

a)What is the kinetic energy, in joules, of this baseball when it is thrown by a major league pitcher at 95.o mi/h?  

b) By what factor will the kinetic energy change if the speed of the baseball is decreased to 54.8 mi/h? Express your answer as an integer.

Kinetic Energy (KE)=0.5×mass×velocity ^ 2

Kinetic Energy (KE)=0.5×mass × velocity ^ 2

Joules = kg×m^2/s^2

1 mile = 1609.344 meters

1 hour = 3600 sec

1 Oz = 28.34952 g = 0.02834952 kg

a) KE=0.5×m×v^2

=0.5×(5.13 oz × 0.02834952 kg/1 ounce)×(95 miles/h × 1609.344 m/1 mile × 1 hr/3600 s)^2

=130.761 kg×m^2/s^2 = 130.761 Joules

b) KE=0.5×m×v^2

=0.5×(5.13 oz × 0.02834952 kg/1 ounce)×(54.8 miles/h × 1609.344 m/1 mile × 1 hr/3600 s)^2

=43.51028 kg×m^2/s^2 = 43.51028 Joules

= 130.761 / 43.51028 = 3.00528,  

As such the Kinetic Energy is approximately 3 times decreased
