To determine the empirical formula and the molecular formula of the compound, we assume a basis of the compound of 100 g. We do as follows:

       Mass              Moles                     
K    52.10     52.10/39.10 = 1.33         1.33/1.32 ≈ 1
C    15.8       15.8/12         = 1.32         1.32/1.32 ≈ 1
O     32.1      32.1 / 16       =  2.01        2.01/1.32 ≈ 1.5

The empirical formula would most likely be KCO.
The molecular formula would be K2C2O3.

What is the molarity if I take 10mL of 20 volumes Hydrogen Peroxide?
Kryger [21]

Answer:

1.635 M

Explanation:

Given:

10 mL of 20 volumes Hydrogen Peroxide

Here,

20 volumes of Hydrogen Peroxide means that on decomposition of 1 mL of H₂O₂ 20 mL of O₂ is obtained

also,

means 1 dm³ of H₂O₂ solution produces 20 dm³ oxygen

Now,

at 298K and 1 atm

20 dm³ oxygen = \frac{\textup{20}}{\textup{24.47}}  moles

or

= 0.817 moles

also,

2H₂O₂ → 2H₂O + O₂

thus,

1 dm³ of solution must contain 2 × moles of O₂ as moles of H₂O₂

thus,

Number of moles of H₂O₂ = 2 × 0.817

or

Number of moles of H₂O₂  = 1.635 moles

Hence,

For 20 volume hydrogen peroxide is 1.635 M

How many moles in 4.3 x 1024 atoms of sodium (Na)?
wel

Answer:How many ions are in 2 moles of NaCl?

2 mol NaCl = 2 x 6.02 x 10 23 = 1.204 x 10 24 NaCl formula units 2 mol NaCl = 2 (2 x 6.02 x 10 23 )= 2 (1.204 x 10 24) = 2.408 x 10 24 atoms *2 moles of sodium chloride contains 2.408 x 10 24 ions (combination of Na + ions & Cl – ions). H

How many molecules are there in 840 grams of na2SO4
beks73 [17]

Answer:

3.56x10^24 molecules

Explanation:

The following data were obtained from the question:

Mass of Na2SO4 = 840g

Molar Mass of Na2SO4 = (23 x2) + 32 + (16x4) =46 + 12 + 64 = 142g/mol

From Avogadro's hypothesis, 1mole of any substance contains 6.02x10^23 molecules. This also gives that 1mole of Na2SO4 contains 6.02x10^23 molecules.

If 1 mole (i.e 142g) contains 6.02x10^23 molecules,

Therefore, 840g of Na2SO4 will contain = (840 x 6.02x10^23)/142 = 3.56x10^24 molecules

The H 2 produced in a chemical reaction is collected through water in a eudiometer. If the pressure in the eudiometer is 760.0 t
siniylev [52]

Answer:

the pressure (torr) of theH₂ gas is 736.2 torr

Explanation:

Given that

The H₂ gas  produced in a chemical reaction is collected through water in a eudiometer; during this process, the gas collected contains some droplets of water vapor along with these gas.

So; the total pressure in the eudiometer = Pressure in the H₂ gas  - Pressure of the water vapor

Where;

P_{Totsl} =  total pressure in the eudiometer = 760.0 torr

P_{H_2} = Pressure in the H₂ gas  = ???

P_{H_2O} = Pressure in the water vapor  = 23.8 torr

Now:

P_{Totsl} = P_{H_2} + P_{H_2O}

- P_{H_2} = + P_{H_2O} - P_{Totsl}

P_{H_2}  = - P_{H_2O} + P_{Totsl}

P_{H_2}  =  (- 23.8 + 760) torr

P_{H_2}  = 736.2 torr

Thus; the pressure (torr) of theH₂ gas is 736.2 torr
