Answer:

The increase in mass is not due to the heating but due to the reaction of the metal with oxygen in air to form an oxide

Explanation:

When a metal is heated in the presence of air, oxygen present in air reacts with the metal to form the oxide of the metal. The mass of this oxide is greater than the original metal by the amount of oxygen added to the metal during the reaction.

The above reaction is known as an oxidation reaction. Generally,

metal M + O2 ---> MO2

What is the empirical formula of a compound that contains 32.39 percent sodium, 22.53 percent sulfur, and 45.07 percent oxygen?
djverab [1.8K]
To get the empirical formula of this compound, we take a basis of 100 grams which means each percentage is equivalent to 1 gram. Hence there is 32.39 grams sodium, 22. 53 grams sulfur and 45.07 grams oxygen. We convert each mass to their moles by dividing by their respective molar mass. Na: 1.408, S:0.704 and O:2.82. divide each with the lowest: Na: 2: S: 1 and O:4. Hence the formula is Na2SO4.

Moles of phosphorous in 15-35-15 fertilizer in 10g
guapka [62]

<span>The composition of a fertilizer is usually express in NPK number. NPK number is in terms of Percent by mass of the said element which are Nitrogen, Phosphorus and Potassium. A 15-35-15 fertilizer has 15% Nitrogen, 35% Phosphorous, and 15% Potassium by mass. If you have 10 g of this fertilizer, to get the number of moles of phosphorus, you multiply the mass by 35%, which is equal to 10*0.35 or 3.5 g phosphorus. Then you divide the calculated mass of phosphorous by its molar mass which is 30.97 g/mol. Therefore, you have 3.5/30.97 which is equal to 0.1130 mol Phosphorus. This is the amount of Phosphorus in moles in the fertilizer.</span>

Use the periodic table and example bond table to answer the question.
lyudmila [28]

In keeping with the general trends, K-Br will have the smallest bond energy. The bond energy refers to the energy that keeps the atoms in a bond together.

<h3>What is bond energy?</h3>

Bond energy is the energy that is required to hold atoms together in a bond. This energy must also be supplied when the atoms are to be separated.

We have the bond energies of each of the bons in the question, we have to note that the the smallest value of bond energy is Na-Br hence in keeping with the general trends, K-Br will have the smallest bond energy.
