Answer:

HfCl3

Explanation:

Step 1

Divide the percent by mass of each element by its relative atomic mass

Hf- 62.2/178.5, Cl-37.4/35.5

0.348, 1.054

Step2

Divide through by the lowest ratio

0.348/0.348, 1.054/0.348

1, 3

Therefore the empirical formula is HfCl3

Solid potassium chlorate decomposes upon heating to form
olga55 [171]

Answer:

32.6%

Explanation:

Equation of reaction

2KClO₃ (s) → 2KCl (s) + 3O₂ (g)

Molar mass of 2KClO₃ = 245.2 g/mol ( 122.6 × 2)

Molar volume of Oxygen at s.t.p = 22.4L / mol

since the gas was collected over water,

total pressure = pressure of water vapor + pressure of  oxygen gas

0.976 = 0.04184211 atm + pressure of oxygen gas at 30°C

pressure of oxygen = 0.976 - 0.04184211 = 0.9341579 atm = P1

P2 = 1 atm, V1 = 789ml, V2 = unknown, T1 = 303K, T2 = 273k at s.t.p

Using ideal gas equation

\frac{P1V1}{T1} = \frac{P2V2}{T2}

V2 = \frac{P1V1T2}{T1P2}

V2 = 664.1052 ml

245.2   yielded 67.2 molar volume of oxygen

0.66411 will yield = \frac{245.2 * 0.66411}{67.2}  = 2.4232 g

percentage of potassium chlorate in the original mixture = \frac{2.4232 * 100}{7.44} = 32.6%

What is the molar mass of an element?
Vesnalui [34]

The answer is: the mass of 6.02 x 1023 representative particles of the element.

The base SI unit for molar mass is kg/mol, but chemist more use g/mol (gram per mole).

For example, molar mas of ammonia is 17.031 g/mol.

M(NH₃) = Ar(N) + 3 · Ar(H) · g/mol.

M(NH₃) = 14.007 + 3 · 1.008 · g/mol.

M(NH₃) = 17.031 g/mol.

The molar mass (M) is the mass of a given substance (in this example ammonia) divided by the amount of substance.
