Answer: The empirical formula for the given compound is NO_2

Explanation : Given,

Mass of O = 0.370 g

Mass of N = 0.130 g

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

Step 1: Converting the given masses into moles.

Moles of Oxygen = \frac{\text{Given mass of oxygen}}{\text{Molar mass of oxygen}}=\frac{0.370g}{16g/mole}=0.0231moles

Moles of Nitrogen = \frac{\text{Given mass of nitrogen}}{\text{Molar mass of nitrogen}}=\frac{0.130g}{14g/mole}=0.00928moles

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 0.00928 moles.

For Oxygen  = \frac{0.0231}{0.00928}=2.4\approx 2

For Nitrogen = \frac{0.00928}{0.00928}=1

Step 3: Taking the mole ratio as their subscripts.

The ratio of O : N = 2 : 1

Hence, the empirical formula for the given compound is NO_2

The combustion of acetylene gas is represented by this equation: 2C2H2(g) + 5O2(g) → 4CO2(g) + 2H2O(g)
MAVERICK [17]

Answer:

Approximately 2.46\; \rm mol.

Explanation:

Make use of the molar mass data (M({\rm C_2H_2}) = 26.04\; \rm g \cdot mol^{-1}) to calculate the number of moles of molecules in that 64.0\; \rm g of \rm C_2H_2:

\begin{aligned}n({\rm C_2H_2}) &= \frac{m({\rm C_2H_2})}{M} \\ &= \frac{64.0\; \rm g}{26.04\; \rm g\cdot mol^{-1}}\approx 2.46\; \rm mol\end{aligned}.

Make sure that the equation for this reaction is balanced.

Coefficient of \rm C_2H_2 in this equation: 2.

Coefficient of \rm H_2O in this equation: 2.

In other words, for every two moles of \rm C_2H_2 that this reaction consumes, two moles of \rm H_2O would be produced.

Equivalently, for every mole of \rm C_2H_2 that this reaction consumes, one mole of \rm H_2O would be produced.

Hence the ratio: \displaystyle \frac{n({\rm H_2O})}{n({\rm C_2H_2})} = \frac{2}{2} = 1.

Apply this ratio to find the number of moles of \rm H_2O that this reaction would have produced:

\begin{aligned}n({\rm H_2O}) &= n({\rm C_2H_2}) \cdot \frac{n({\rm H_2O})}{n({\rm C_2H_2})} \\ &\approx 2.46\; \rm mol \times 1 = 2.46\; \rm mol\end{aligned}.

The positive sign of the energy difference in a chemical reaction would indicate that ..........
trasher [3.6K]

Answer:

B) the chemicals are gaining energy from the surroundings.

Explanation:

The positive sign of the energy difference in a chemical reaction would indicate that the chemicals are gaining energy from the surroundings. This is what happens in an endothermic reaction.

In an endothermic reaction, heat is absorbed from the surroundings hence the surrounding becomes colder at the end of the changes.

  • Here the energy change is assigned a positive value.
  • This is because the heat energy level of the final state is higher than that of the initial state.
  • So, the difference gives a positive value.

If 89.6 joules of heat 20.0 grams of iron from 30.0 C to 40.0 C, what is the specific heat of the iron in J/g.C?
atroni [7]

Answer:

 

H = m c ΔT  

89.6 J = (20.0 g) × c × (40.0 - 30.0)°C  

Specific heat of iron, c = 89.6 / [20.0 × (40.0 - 30.0)] J/(g°C) = 0.448 J/(g°C)
