Need asap! Step-by-step pls: Determine the empirical formula: 32.37% Na, 22.58% S, 45.05% O

Ludmilka [50]

1) divide each percentage by the relative atomic mass of the element

2) divide all results by the smallest number

3)multiply by a whole number to get the simplest whole number ratio (if necessary)

that is to say:

Na S O

32.37÷23 22.58÷32 45.05÷16

= 1.407 = 0.7056 = 2.816 (to 4 significant figures)

the smallest number here is 0.7056 so:

1.407÷0.7056 0.7056÷0.7056 2.816÷0.7056

=1.99 approx.2 = 1 3.99 approx. 4

here there is no need to carry out step 3 as ratio obtained is already a simplest whole number ratio

so empirical formula is: Na₂SO₄

How many moles are in 1.2x10^3 grams of ammonia(NH3) ?

miskamm [114]

Answer : The number of moles present in ammonia is, 70.459 moles.

Solution : Given,

Mass of ammonia = $1.2\times 10^3g$

Molar mass of ammonia = 17.031 g/mole

Formula used :

$\text{Moles of }NH_3=\frac{\text{ given mass of }NH_3}{\text{ molar mass of }NH_3}$

$\text{Moles of }NH_3=\frac{1.2\times 10^3g}{17.031g/mole}=70.459moles$

Therefore, the number of moles present in ammonia is, 70.459 moles.

What type of bonds hold the atoms together in polyatomic ions

IRISSAK [1]

<span>This is a covalent bond, a bond in which atoms share electrons. Covalent bonding generally happens between nonmetals. Covalent bonding is the type of bond that holds together the atoms within a polyatomic ion. It takes two electrons to make a covalent bond, one from each bonding atom.

A certain hydrocarbon has a molecular formula of C9H16. Which of the following is not a structural possibility for this hydrocar

snow_tiger [21]

Answer: Option (d) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

It is given that molecular formula is $C_{9}H_{16}$ . Now, we will calculate the degree of unsaturation as follows.

Degree of unsaturation = $C_{n} - \frac{\text{monovalent}}{2} + \frac{\text{trivalent}}{2} + 1$

= $9 - \frac{16}{2} + 1$

= 9 - 8 + 1

= 2

As the degree of unsaturation comes out to be 2. It means that this compound will contain one ring and one double bond.

Yes, this compound could be an alkyne as for alkyne D.B.E = 2.

But this compound cannot be a cycloalkane because for a cycloalkane D.B.E = 1 which is due to the ring only.

Thus, we can conclude that it is a cycloalkane is not a structural possibility for this hydrocarbon.
