3. Suppose a student determined the empirical formula of the compound to be K3[Fe(C2O4)3] 2H2O, rather than the correct formula

that has three waters of hydration. Propose an experimental error that might account for this incorrect formula (math/calculation errors are not acceptable answers).

Answer:

Explanation:

When determining empirical formulas of hydrates we have to find the mass of water which left the hydrate when heating The sample. This amount of water calculated will provide us with the correct ratio of moles water / moles anhydrate since moles water > moles anhydrate. The mistake might have been done while determining the water that left the sample so then we see and impropre result in ratios.

The following information is to be used for the next 2 questions. In order to analyze for Mg and Ca, a 24-hour urine sample was
Ainat [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

From the given information:

The concentration of metal ions are:

[Ca^{2+}]= \dfrac{0.003474 \ M \times 20.49 \ mL}{10.0 \ mL}

[Ca^{2+}]=0.007118 \ M

[Mg^2+] = \dfrac{0.003474 \ M\times (26.23  - 20.49 )mL}{10.0 \ mL}

=0.001994 \ M

Mass of Ca²⁺ in 2.00 L urine sample is:

= 2.00 L \times 0.001994 \dfrac{mol}{L} \times \dfrac{40.08 \ g}{1 \ mol}

= 0.1598 g

Mass of Ca²⁺ = 159.0 mg

Mass of Mg²⁺ in 2.00 L urine sample is:

= 2.00 L \times 0.007118 \dfrac{mol}{L} \times \dfrac{24.31 \ g}{1 \ mol}

= 0.3461 g

Mass of Mg²⁺ = 346.1 mg

To answer this question, you will need to write the balanced equation and set up a BCA table. Using appropriate rounding rules,
Elenna [48]

Water decomposes when electrolyzed to produce hydrogen and oxygen gas. If 2.5 grams of water were decomposed 1.04 grams of oxygen will be formed.

BCA table:

2H_{2}O ⇒ H_{2} + O_{2}

B  0.13        0 + 0

C  -0.13      0.065 + 0.065

A  0             0.065

Explanation:

Balanced equation for water decomposition into hydrogen and oxygen gases

   2H_{2}O ⇒ H_{2} + O_{2}

B  0.13        0 + 0

C  -0.13      0.065 + 0.065

A  0             0.065

Number of moles of water = \frac{mass}{atomic mass of 1 mole}

mass = 2.5 grams

atomic mass= 18 grams

number of moles can be known by putting the values in the formula,

n = \frac{2.5}{18}

  = 0.13 moles

2 moles of water gives one mole of oxygen on decomposition

so, 0.13 moles of water will give x moles of oxygen on decompsition

\frac{1}{2} = \frac{x}{0.13}

x = 0.065 moles of oxygen will be formed.

moles to gram will be calculated as

mass =number of moles x atomic mass

        = 0.065 x 16

         = 1.04 grams of oxygen.

2.50 g of Zn is added to 5.00 g of HCl
Debora [2.8K]
Zn+2HCl ----> 2ZnCl2 + H2

For 2.50 g of Zn

Mass per mol = 2.50/molar mass of Zn = 2.50/65.38 = 0.0382 g/mol
There are two moles of ZnCl2 and total mass = 2*0.0382*molar mass of ZnCl2 = 2*0.0382*136.286 = 10.42 g

For 2 g of HCl

Mass per mol = 2/2*molar mass of HCl = 2/ (2*36.46) = 0.0274 g/mol
For the two moles of ZnCl2, mass produced = 2*0.0274*136.286 = 7.48 g

It can be noted that 2 g of HCl produced less amount of ZnCl and thus it is the limiting reagent.
