How do you determine the number of moles in a sample

1 answer:

3 0

Divide the mass of the compound in grams by the molar mass you just calculated. The answer is the number of moles of that mass of compound.
I hope it helps

What is the mass of and object with a volume of 100 cm3 and a density of 10 g/cm3?

nadezda [96]

Answer:

1000 g

Explanation:

d = m/v

We are given d: 10g/cm3

and v: 100cm3

Plug them into the equation to get 10 = m/100

Then, cross multiply 10x100 to get mass which is: 1000g

17. Which of the following is NOT an empirical formula? *

Aloiza [94]

Answer: 17) d. $C_2H_6$

18. c. The empirical formula of a compound can be twice the molecular formula.

Explanation:

Molecular formula is the chemical formula which depicts the actual number of atoms of each element present in the compound.

Empirical formula is the simplest chemical formula which depicts the whole number of atoms of each element present in the compound.

To calculate the molecular formula, we need to find the valency which is multiplied by each element to get the molecular formula.

The equation used to calculate the valency is:

$n=\frac{\text{molecular mass}}{\text{empirical mass}}$

The empirical mass can be calculated from empirical formula and molar mass must be known.

17. Thus the empirical formula of $C_2H_6$ should be $CH_3$

18. The molecular formula will either be same as empirical formula or is a whole number multiple of empirical formula. Thus the empirical formula of a compound can never be twice the molecular formula.

The reaction between A2 (two large red spheres) and B2 (two small blue spheres) to produce AB is shown in the diagram. The react

drek231 [11]

Answer:

B₂

Explanation:

The limiting reactant is always a reactant. You can determine which reactant is limiting by identifying which has the smaller mole-to-mole ratio with the product. This ratio can be found via the coefficients of the balanced reaction.

4 A₂ + 3 B₂ ---> 6 AB

4 moles A₂
------------------ = mole-to-mole ratio A₂/AB
6 moles AB

3 moles B₂
------------------ = mole-to-mole ratio B₂/AB
6 moles AB

Since the mole-to-mole ratio between B₂ and AB is smaller, B₂ must be the limiting reactant.

What are some of the uses of copper?

Dmitrij [34]

Answer:

Explanation:

Most copper is used in electrical equipment such as wiring and motors. This is because it conducts both heat and electricity very well, and can be drawn into wires. It also has uses in construction (for example roofing and plumbing), and industrial machinery (such as heat exchangers).
