Answer: The empirical formula for the given compound is Cr_2S_3

Explanation : Given,

Mass of product = 0.963 g

Mass of Cr = 0.500 g

Mass of S = 0.963 g  - 0.500 g = 0.463 g

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

Step 1: Converting the given masses into moles.

Moles of Cr =\frac{\text{Given mass of Cr}}{\text{Molar mass of Cr}}=\frac{0.500g}{52g/mole}=0.00962moles

Moles of S = \frac{\text{Given mass of S}}{\text{Molar mass of S}}=\frac{0.463g}{32g/mole}=0.0145moles

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 0.00962 moles.

For Cr = \frac{0.00962}{0.00962}=1

For S = \frac{0.0145}{0.00962}=1.5

To make in a whole number we are multiplying the ratio by 2, we get:

The ratio of Cr : S = 1 : 1.5

The ratio of Cr : S = 2 : 3

Step 3: Taking the mole ratio as their subscripts.

The ratio of Cr : S = 2 : 3

Hence, the empirical formula for the given compound is Cr_2S_3

Discuss whether two products are required for a chemical reaction. (NEED HELP ASAP)
Alex787 [66]

Answer:

Yes.

Explanation:

"These starting substances of a chemical reaction are called the reactants, and the new substances that result are called the products."

There is a beginning product, and a reactant is needed in order for something to happen.

For example, according to Newton, something cannot happen until an exterior force comes and stops/pushes it.

Sorry if this is incorrect, I am just 4th grade :(

Isotope Atomic Mass (amu) Percent Abundance
exis [7]

Answer:

The average atomic mass is closer to Si- 28 because this isotope is present in more percentage in the sample.

Explanation:

Given data:

Atomic mass of silicon= ?

Percent abundance of Si-28 = 92.21%

Atomic mass of Si-28 = 27.98 amu

Percent abundance of Si-29 = 4.70%

Atomic mass of  Si-29 = 28.98 amu

Percent abundance of Si-30 = 3.09%

Atomic mass of  Si-30 = 29.97 amu

Solution:

Average atomic mass = (abundance of 1st isotope × its atomic mass) +(abundance of 2nd isotope × its atomic mass)+(abundance of 2nd isotope × its atomic mass)  / 100

Average atomic mass = (92.21×27.98)+(4.70×28.98)+(3.09×29.97) /100

Average atomic mass =  2580.04 +136.21+92.61 / 100

Average atomic mass = 2808.86 / 100

Average atomic mass  = 28.08amu.

The average atomic mass is closer to Si- 28 because this isotope is present in more percentage in the sample.

How plastic polymer types of compositions, surface hydrophobicity, crystallinity, porosity, size, shapes, aging or degree of wea
Andreas93 [3]

Explanation:

Scientific evidences abound of the occurrence of plastic pollution, from mega- to nano-sized plastics, in virtually all matrixes of the environment. Apart from the direct effects of plastics and microplastics pollution such as entanglement, inflammation of cells and gut blockage due to ingestion, plastics are also able to act as vectors of various chemical contaminants in the aquatic environment. This paper provides a review of the association of plastic additives with environmental microplastics, how the structure and composition of polymers influence sorption capacities and highlights some of the models that have been employed to interpret experimental data from recent sorption studies. The factors that influence the sorption of chemical contaminants such as the degree of crystallinity, surface weathering, and chemical properties of contaminants. and the implications of chemical sorption by plastics for the marine food web and human health are also discussed. It was however observed that most studies relied on pristine or artificially aged plastics rather than field plastic samples for studies on chemical sorption by plastics.
