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

The amount of I−3(aq) in a solution can be determined by titration with a solution containing a known concentration of S2O2−3(aq
Pavlova-9 [17]

Answer : The molarity of I_3^- in the solution is, 0.128 M

Explanation :

The given balanced chemical reaction is,

2S_2O_2^{-3}(aq)+I_3(aq)\rightarrow S_4O_2^{-6}(aq)+3I^-(aq)

First we have to calculate the moles of Na_2S_2O_3.

\text{Moles of }Na_2S_2O_3=\text{Molarity of }Na_2S_2O_3\times \text{Volume of solution}

\text{Moles of }Na_2S_2O_3=0.260mole/L\times 0.0296L=0.007696mole

Conversion used : (1 L = 1000 ml)

Now we have to calculate the moles of I_3^-.

From the balanced chemical reaction, we conclude that

As, 2 moles of S_2O_2^{-3} react with 1 mole of I_3^-

So, 0.007696 moles of S_2O_2^{-3} react with \frac{0.007696}{2}=0.003848 mole of I_3^-

The moles of I_3^- = 0.003848 mole

Now we have to calculate the molarity of I_3^-.

\text{Molarity of }I_3^-=\frac{\text{Moles of }I_3^-}{\text{Volume of solution}}

Now put all the given values in this formula, we get:

\text{Molarity of }I_3^-=\frac{0.003848mole}{0.03L}=0.128mole/L=0.128M

Therefore, the molarity of I_3^- in the solution is, 0.128 M

We calculate the entropy of an ideal gas follows:

<span>For an isothermal compression, change in internal energy is equal to zero.</span>
<span>Thus, the heat added to the gas is equal to the work done on the gas which is given as 1750 J.</span>

<span>Entropy would be 1750/301 = 5.81 J/K </span>
