2.38 grams of uranium is heated in a current of air. The resulting oxide

Chemistry
1 answer:
DiKsa [7]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

\large \boxed{\text{FALSE}}

Explanation:

The empirical formula is the simplest whole-number ratio of atoms in a compound.

The ratio of atoms is the same as the ratio of moles.

So, our job is to calculate the molar ratio of U to O.

Data:

     Mass of U = 2.38   g

Mass of UₓOy = 2.806 g

Calculations

1. Calculate the mass of O

Mass of O = 2.806 g - 2.38 g = 0.426 g

2. Calculate the moles of each element

\text{Moles of U} = \text{2.38 g U} \times \dfrac{\text{1 mol U}}{\text{238.03 g U}} = \text{0.009 999 mol U}\\\\\text{Moles of O} = \text{0.426 g O} \times \dfrac{\text{1 mol O}}{\text{16.00 g O }} = \text{0.026 62 mol O}

3. Calculate the molar ratio of the elements

Divide each number by the smallest number of moles

U:O = 1:2.663 = 3:7.988 ≈ 3:8

\text{The simplest molar ratio of U:O is $\large \boxed{\mathbf{3:8}}$}

Analysis of a gaseous chlorofluorocarbon, CClxFy, shows that it contains 11.79% C and 69.57% Cl. In another experiment, you find
uranmaximum [27]

Answer:

The molecular formula = C_2Cl_{4}F_2

Explanation:

Moles =\frac {Given\ mass}{Molar\ mass}

% of C = 11.79

Molar mass of C = 12.0107 g/mol

<u>% moles of C = 11.79 / 12.0107 = 0.9816</u>

% of Cl = 69.57

Molar mass of Cl = 35.453 g/mol

<u>% moles of Cl = 69.57 / 35.453 = 1.9623</u>

Given that the gaseous chlorofluorocarbon only contains chlorine, flourine and carbon. So,

% of F = 100% - % of C - % of C = 100 - 11.79 - 69.57 = 18.64

Molar mass of F = 18.998 g/mol

<u>% moles of F = 18.64 / 18.998 = 0.9812</u>

Taking the simplest ratio for C, Cl and F as:

0.9816 : 1.9623 : 0.9812

= 1 : 2 : 1

The empirical formula is = CCl_2F

Also, Given that:

Pressure = 21.3 mm Hg

Also, P (mm Hg) = P (atm) / 760

Pressure = 21.3 / 760 = 0.02803 atm

Temperature = 25 °C

The conversion of T( °C) to T(K) is shown below:

T(K) = T( °C) + 273.15  

So,  

T = (25 + 273.15) K = 298.15 K  

Volume = 458 mL  = 0.458 L (1 mL = 0.001 L)

Using ideal gas equation as:

PV=nRT

where,  

P is the pressure

V is the volume

n is the number of moles

T is the temperature  

R is Gas constant having value = 0.0821 L.atm/K.mol

Applying the equation as:

0.02803 atm × 0.458 L = n × 0.0821 L.atm/K.mol × 298.15 K  

⇒n = 0.00052445 moles

Given that :  

Amount  = 0.107 g  

Molar mass = ?

The formula for the calculation of moles is shown below:

moles = \frac{Mass\ taken}{Molar\ mass}

Thus,

0.00052445= \frac{0.107\ g}{Molar\ mass}

Molar\ mass= 204.0233\ g/mol

Molecular formulas is the actual number of atoms of each element in the compound while empirical formulas is the simplest or reduced ratio of the elements in the compound.

Thus,  

Molecular mass = n × Empirical mass

Where, n is any positive number from 1, 2, 3...

Mass from the Empirical formula = 1×12.0107 + 2×35.453 + 1×18.998 = 101.9147 g/mol

Molar mass = 204.0233 g/mol

So,  

Molecular mass = n × Empirical mass

204.0233 = n × 101.9147

⇒ n = 2

<u>The molecular formula = C_2Cl_{4}F_2</u>

Lion 7
Sidana [21]

Answer:

A.

Explanation:

You should NEVER eat or drink anything in a lab area. You never know what chemicals or gases are in the lab, and they can harm you.

Wearing a drawstring hoodie won't protect you from chemicals.

Don't wait to clean up chemicals, immediately get a teacher and clean it up (follow the teachers instructions). You never know what has spilled, and if it is harmful or not, or if there is a certain procedure to clean it up.

Don't change the equipment in the middle of an experiment. This can tamper with your results, and depending on what you are working with, this can be dangerous.

A solution has a poh of 7. 1 at 10∘c. what is the ph of the solution given that kw=2. 93×10−15 at this temperature? remember to
Gnom [1K]

A solution has a pOH of 7. 1 at 10∘c. Then the pH of the solution given that kw=2. 93×10−15 at this temperature is 7.4 .

It is given that,

pOH of solution = 7.1

Kw =2.93×10^(-15)

Firstly, we will calculate the value of pKw

The expression which we used to calculate the pKw is,

pKw=-log [Kw]

Now by putting the value of Kw in this expression,

pKw =−log{2.93×10^(-15)}

pKw =15log(2.93)

pKw=14.5

Now we have to calculate the pH of the solution.

As we know that,

pH+pOH=pKw

Now put all the given values in this formula,

pH+7.1=14.5

pH=7.4

Therefore, we find the value of pH of the solution is, 7.4.
