Answer:

C₃H₆O₃

Explanation:

Data:

EF = CH₂O

MM = 90. g/mol

Calculations:

EF Mass = (12.01 + 2.016  + 16.00) u  = 30.03 u

The molecular formula is an integral multiple of the empirical formula.

MF = (EF)ₙ

n = \dfrac{\text{MF Mass}}{\text{EF Mass }} = \dfrac{\text{90. u}}{\text{30.03 u}} = 3.00  \approx 3

MF = (CH₂O)₃ = C₃H₆O₃

How many moles of oxygen atoms are in 7.9E-1 moles of CO_2
Ilya [14]

Answer:

The number of moles of O atom in (7.9\times10^{-1}) mol of CO_{2} = 1.6

Explanation:

1 molecule of CO_{2} contains 2 atoms of O

So, (6.023\times 10^{23}) molecules of  CO_{2} contains (2\times6.023\times10^{23}) atoms of O.

We know that 1 mol of an atom/molecule/ion represents 6.023\times10^{23} numbers of atoms/molecules/ions respectively.

So, (6.023\times 10^{23}) molecules of  CO_{2} is equal to 1 mol of CO_{2}.

(2\times6.023\times10^{23}) atoms of O is equal to 2 moles of O atom.

Hence, 1 mol of CO_{2} contains 2 moles of O atom.

Therefore, (7.9\times10^{-1}) mol of CO_{2} contains (2\times7.9\times10^{-1}) moles of O atom or 1.6 moles of O atom.

Find the percentage composition of a compound that contains 17.6 g of iron and
olganol [36]

Answer:

Explanation:

Your goal here is to figure out the mass of iron and the mass of sulfur present in exactly

100 g

of this compound, which is what you need in order to know the compound's percent composition.

The problem provides you with the mass of iron and with the mass of sulfur present in

27.9 g

of this compound, so you must use this information to scale up your sample from

27.9 g

to

100 g

.

To do that, set up the known composition of the compound as a conversion factor.

To find the number of grams of iron present in

100 g

of compound, set up the conversion factor like this

17.6 g iron

27.9 g compound

You will end up with

100

g compound

⋅

17.6 giron

27.9

g compound

=

63.1 g iron

To find the mass of sulfur present in

100 g

of compound, you can either use a conversion factor set up in a similar manner

100

g compound

⋅

10.3 g sulfur

27.9

g compound

=

36.9 g sulfur

or use the fact that the compound contains only iron and sulfur to say that the mass of sulfur will be equal to

100 g compound

−

63.1 g iron = 36.9 g sulfur

You now know the mass of iron and the mass of sulfur present for every

100 g

of compound, so you can say that the compound has the following percent composition

63.1% iron

36.9% sulfur

Here

%

means per

100 g

of compound.

10 atoms of aluminum reacts with 6 molecules of oxygen gas to produce aluminum oxide. 4 Al + 3 O2 ––> 2 Al2O3 What is the exc
Mrrafil [7]

The excess reactant is Aluminum.

<u>Explanation:</u>

We have to write the balanced equation as,

4 Al+ 3 O₂ → 2 Al₂O₃

According to the molar ratio 4: 3, from the given balanced equation, we can say that 4 atoms of Al reacted with 3 molecules of oxygen.

Given that 10 atoms of aluminum reacts with 6 molecules of oxygen, as per the ratio only 8 atoms of Aluminum is required to react with 6 molecules of oxygen, so excess reactant is Aluminum.
