Which of the following is the correct formula for sulfuric acld?

If a 600 gram radioactive sample goes through 3 half-lives, how would be left?

olga_2 [115]

Answer:

75 g

Explanation:

1 half life = 600/2 = 300g

2 half life = 300/2 = 150g

3 half life = 150/2 = 75g

The compound known as butylated hydroxytoluene, abbreviated as BHT, contains carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. A 2.001 g sample of B

Alborosie

Answer: The empirical formula for the given compound is $C_{15}H_{24}O_1$

Explanation:

The chemical equation for the combustion of compound having carbon, hydrogen, iron and oxygen follows:

$C_xH_yO_z+O_2\rightarrow CO_2+H_2O$

where, 'x', 'y' and 'z' are the subscripts of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen respectively.

We are given:

Mass of $CO_2=5.995g$

Mass of $H_2O=1.963g$

Mass of sample = 2.001 g

We know that:

Molar mass of carbon dioxide = 44 g/mol

Molar mass of water = 18 g/mol

For calculating the mass of carbon:

In 44g of carbon dioxide, 12 g of carbon is contained.

So, in 5.995 g of carbon dioxide, $\frac{12}{44}\times 5.995=1.635g$ of carbon will be contained.

For calculating the mass of hydrogen:

In 18g of water, 2 g of hydrogen is contained.

So, in 1.963 g of water, $\frac{2}{18}\times 1.963=0.218g$ of hydrogen will be contained.

Mass of oxygen in the compound = (2.001) - (1.635 + 0.218) = 0.148 g

To formulate the empirical formula, we need to follow some steps:

Step 1: Converting the given masses into moles.

Moles of Carbon = $\frac{\text{Given mass of Carbon}}{\text{Molar mass of Carbon}}=\frac{1.635g}{12g/mole}=0.136moles$

Moles of Hydrogen = $\frac{\text{Given mass of Hydrogen}}{\text{Molar mass of Hydrogen}}=\frac{0.218g}{1g/mole}=0.218moles$

Moles of Oxygen = $\frac{\text{Given mass of oxygen}}{\text{Molar mass of oxygen}}=\frac{0.148g}{16g/mole}=0.0092moles$

Step 2: Calculating the mole ratio of the given elements.

For the mole ratio, we divide each value of the moles by the smallest number of moles calculated which is 0.0092 moles.

For Carbon = $\frac{0.136}{0.0092}=14.78\approx 15$

For Hydrogen = $\frac{0.218}{0.0092}=23.69\approx 24$

For Oxygen = $\frac{0.0092}{0.0092}=1$

Step 3: Taking the mole ratio as their subscripts.

The ratio of C : H : O = 15 : 24 : 1

Hence, the empirical formula for the given compound is $C_{15}H_{24}O_1$

Alkaline earth metal whose cation isoelectric with Kr is strontium (Sr).

What is Alkaline earth metal?

Six chemical elements from group 2 of the periodic chart make up the alkaline earth metals. They are boron (R), barium (Ba), calcium (Ca), strontium (Sr), magnesium (Mg), beryllium (Be), and radium (Ra). The elements share many characteristics, including being glossy, silvery-white, moderately reactive metals at standard pressure and temperature.

They share a full outer s-orbital structurally, meaning that this orbital includes all two of its electrons, which the alkaline earth metals rapidly lose to form cations with a charge of +2 and an oxidation state of +2.

All of the identified alkaline earth metals are found in nature, albeit radium is not a primordial element but only appears as part of the decay chain of uranium and thorium.

The chemical element strontium has the atomic number 38 and the symbol Sr. Strontium is a soft, silver-white, yellowish metallic element that is an alkaline earth metal and has a strong reactivity to chemicals. When the metal is exposed to air, a thick layer of dark oxide forms. Similar to its two vertical neighbors in the periodic table, barium and calcium, strontium exhibits physical and chemical characteristics. It is mostly obtained from the minerals celestine and strontianite, where it is found naturally.
