Answer:

K₂CrO₅

Explanation:

The empirical formula is the simplest formula of a compound. To find the empirical formula, we follow the procedure below:

Elements                         Potassium                 Chromium         Oxygen

Mass                                  6.52                             4.34                  5.34

Molar mass                          39                               60                      16

Number of moles             6.52/39                     4.34/60             5.34/16

                                             0.167                          0.072              0.333

Divide through by

the smallest                      0.167/0.072             0.072/0.072          0.333/0.072

                                            2.3                               1                                4.6

                                             2                                 1                                  5

Empirical formula K₂CrO₅

Nitrogen (N2) and hydrogen (H2) react to form ammonia (NH3). Consider a mixture of six nitrogen molecules and six hydrogen molec
Nezavi [6.7K]

Answer:

a)  No molecules of hydrogen

b) four molecules of ammonia

c) four left molecules of nitrogen.

Explanation:

The balanced reaction between nitrogen and hydrogen molecules to give ammonia molecules is:

N_{2}(g)+3H_{2}(g) -->2NH_{3}

Thus one molecule of nitrogen will react with three molecules of hydrogen to give two molecules of ammonia.

We have six molecules of each nitrogen and hydrogen in the closed container and they undergo complete reaction it means the limiting reagent is hydrogen. For six molecules of nitrogen, eighteen molecules of hydrogen will be required.

So six molecules of hydrogen will react with two molecules of nitrogen to give four molecules of ammonia.

The product mixture will have

a) No molecules of hydrogen

b) four molecules of ammonia

c) four left molecules of nitrogen.
