Which formula is an empirical formula? (1) CH4 (2) C2 H6 (3) C3 H6 (4) C4 H10

1 answer:

3 0

CH4 is an emprirical formula as it shows the simplest ratio of the numbers of different atoms present in the molecule. The empirical formula for CH4 is also the same as the molecular formula.
The other compunds can be simplified so they are not the empirical formula of compounds.
Hope this helps :).

If .75 moles of ammonia is needed, how many grams of nitrogen will be consumed?

MrMuchimi

We have to get the amount of nitrogen to be consumed to get 0.75 moles of ammonia.

The amount of nitrogen (in grams) required to prepare 0.75 moles of ammonia is: 10.5 grams.

Ammonia (NH₃) can be prepared from nitrogen (N₂) as per following balanced chemical reaction-

N₂ (g) + 3H₂ (g) ⇄ 2NH₃ (g)

According to the above reaction, to prepare 2 moles of ammonia, one mole of nitrogen is required. Hence, to prepare 0.75 moles of ammonia, $\frac{1 X 0.75}{2}$ moles = 0.375 moles of nitrogen is required.

Molar mass of nitrogen is 28 grams, i.e, mass of one mole of nitrogen is 28 grams, so mass of 0.375 moles of nitrogen is 0.375 X 28 grams=10.5 grams of nitrogen.

Therefore, the amount of nitrogen (in grams) required to prepare 0.75 moles of ammonia is 10.5 grams.

Analysis of the water content of a lake found in the desert showed that it contained 17.5 percent chloride ion, and has a densit

tankabanditka [31]

Answer:

The molarity is 6.0 M.

Explanation:

The concentration of a solution is the amount of solute present in a given amount of solvent, or a given amount of solution.

In this problem, we are asked to convert percent by mass to molarity, which are two different concentration units.

The percent by mass is the ratio of the mass of a solute to the mass of the solution, multiplied by 100 percent. On the other hand, molarity (M) is defined as the number of moles of solute per liter of solution.

If we have 17.15 percent chloride ion, that means that we have 17.15 grams of chloride ion in 100 grams of solution. The density provided is the density of the solution, so we calculate how many mL correspond to 100 grams of solution:

1.23 g ----------- 1 mL

100 g ------------ x= 81.3 mL

Therefore, 17.5 grams of chloride ion are contained in 81.3 mL. Now we need to convert these grams into moles.

The atomic mass of chlorine is 35.5 g/mol:

35.5 g --------------- 1 mol

17.5 g --------------- x= 0. 49 mol

This 0.49 moles are contained in 81.13 mL, the definition of molarity says that this moles are contained in a liter (or what is the same, 1000 mL):

81.3 mL --------------- 0.49 mol

1000 mL ------------- x= 6.0 M

The molarity of the chloride ion will be 6.0 M.

Calculate the solubility of o2 in water at a partial pressure of o2 of 120 torr at 25 ̊c. the henry's law constant for o2 at 25

Vladimir79 [104]

Answer:

1) 2.054 x 10⁻⁴ mol/L.

2) Decreasing the temperature will increase the solubilty of O₂ gas in water.

Explanation:

1) The solubility of O₂ gas in water:

We cam calculate the solubility of O₂ in water using Henry's law: Cgas = K P,

where, Cgas is the solubility if gas,

K is henry's law constant (K for O₂ at 25 ̊C is 1.3 x 10⁻³ mol/l atm),

P is the partial pressure of O₂ (P = 120 torr / 760 = 0.158 atm).

Cgas = K P = (1.3 x 10⁻³ mol/l atm) (0.158 atm) = 2.054 x 10⁻⁴ mol/L.

2) The effect of decreasing temperature on the solubility O₂ gas in water:

Decreasing the temperature will increase the solubilty of O₂ gas in water.

When the temperature increases, the solubility of O₂ gas in water will decrease because the increase in T will increase the kinetic energy of gas particles and increase its motion that will break intermolecular bonds and escape from solution.

Decreasing the temperature will increase the solubility of O₂ gas in water will because the kinetic energy of gas particles will decrease and limit its motion that can not break the intermolecular bonds and increase the solubility of O₂ gas.
