<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

Although not usually soluble in plain water, an amphoteric oxide or hydroxide is: 1. soluble in neutral solutions. 2. soluble in
Aleksandr [31]

Answer:

The correct option is: 4. soluble in both acidic and basic solutions

Explanation:

Oxide is a chemical compound formed by an element with oxygen. In such compounds, the oxygen is generally present in the -2 oxidation state.

Whereas, hydroxide is a chemical compound formed by an element with hydroxyl group (-OH).

<em>Oxides and hydroxides of some elements are </em><em>amphoteric</em><em> in nature.</em> <u><em>Such compounds can behave as an acid in basic medium and behave as a base in acidic medium.</em></u>

<u>Therefore, amphoteric oxides and hydroxides are soluble in both acidic and basic solutions.</u>

Explain the change that occurs in the molecules of water as it moves from a solid to a liquid to a gas
lutik1710 [3]

Answer:

Substances can change phase—often because of a temperature change. At low temperatures, most substances are solid; as the temperature increases, they become liquid; at higher temperatures still, they become gaseous.

The process of a solid becoming a liquid is called melting. (an older term that you may see sometimes is fusion). The opposite process, a liquid becoming a solid, is called solidification. For any pure substance, the temperature at which melting occurs—known as the melting point—is a characteristic of that substance. It requires energy for a solid to melt into a liquid. Every pure substance has a certain amount of energy it needs to change from a solid to a liquid. This amount is called the enthalpy of fusion (or heat of fusion) of the substance, represented as ΔHfus. Some ΔHfus values are listed in Table 10.2 “Enthalpies of Fusion for Various Substances”; it is assumed that these values are for the melting point of the substance. Note that the unit of ΔHfus is kilojoules per mole, so we need to know the quantity of material to know how much energy is involved. The ΔHfus is always tabulated as a positive number. However, it can be used for both the melting and the solidification processes as long as you keep in mind that melting is always endothermic (so ΔH will be positive), while solidification is always exothermic (so ΔH will be negative).

Sample of gas initially occupies 4.25 L at a pressure of 0.850 atm at 23.0°C. What will the volume be if the temperature is chan
Aliun [14]

Answer:  2.34 L

Explanation:

Combined gas law is the combination of Boyle's law, Charles's law and Gay-Lussac's law.

The combined gas equation is,

\frac{P_1V_1}{T_1}=\frac{P_2V_2}{T_2}

where,

P_1 = initial pressure of gas = 0.850 atm

P_2 = final pressure of gas = 1.50 atm

V_1 = initial volume of gas = 4.25 L

V_2 = final volume of gas = ?

T_1 = initial temperature of gas = 23.0^oC=273+23.0=293.0K

T_2 = final temperature of gas = 11.5^oC=273+11.5=284.5K

Now put all the given values in the above equation, we get:

\frac{0.850\times 4.25}{293.0K}=\frac{1.50\times V_2}{284.5}

V_2=2.34L

Thus the final volume will be 2.34 L
