Answer:

Empirical formula = NO₂

Molecular formula = N₂O₄

Explanation:

Percentage mass of Nitrogen = 30.4 %

Percentage mass of Oxygen = 60.9 %

Mole ratio of the elements:

Nitrogen = 30.4/14 = 2.17

Oxygen = 69.9/16 = 4.37

Dividing by the smallest ratio to obtain a simple ratio

Nitrogen: 2.17/2.17 = 1

Oxygen; 4.37/2.17 = 2

Therefore, the simplest mole ratio is 1:2

Empirical formula = NO₂

Molecular formula = n(empirical formula), therefore, molecular mass = n *(empirical mass)

92.010 = n(14 + 32)

92.010 = 46n

n = 92.010/46

n = 2

Therefore, molecular formula = 2(NO₂)

Molecular formula = N₂O₄

The most common source of copper (Cu) is the mineral chalcopyrite (CuFeS2). How many kilograms of chalcopyrite must be mined to
diamong [38]

Answer:

0.693kg of CuFeS2 is needed to produce 240 grams of Cu.

Explanation:

In 1 mole of CuFeS2 is associated 1 mole of Cu.

Molar mass of CuFeS2 = 183.5 g/mol

Molar mass of Cu = 63.5g/mol

No of moles of copper present in 240g of chalcopyrite = 240/63.5 = 3.779moles

we know

1 mole of Cu → 1 mole of CuFeS2

in 3.779 moles of Cu → 3.779 moles of CuFeS2

3.779 moles of CuFeS2 = 3.779 * 183.5 = 693.45grams

CuFeS2 in kg = 0.693kg

Which of the following is true? A). An indicator is not pH sensitive. B). The equivalence point...
Pepsi [2]

Answer:

B). The equivalence point is where the amount of acid equals the amount of base during any add-base titration.

Explanation:

Equivalence point -

During the process of titration of the neutralization reaction , like acid - base reaction .

In the titration process , the equivalence point is the point , when the amount of acid is equal to the amount of base .

In indicator used for th process is pH sensitive ,

It is not always necessary to have pH = 7 at the equivalence point ,

The titration curve is plotted for the pH v/s base .

Hence , from the given options , the correct statement is ( B ) .

The limiting reactant determines what the actual yield is. (T/F)
g100num [7]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

Limiting reactant - the reactant which get completely consumed in a chemical reaction , is known as the limiting reactant .

As, the concentration of limiting reactant after the completion of the reaction will be zero , hence, it is used to determine the concentration of other reactants .

For example,

for a general reaction -

A + B ---> 3C

Assuming B to be the limiting reactant ,

hence, the concentration of C and A can be determined as -

1 mol of B can give 3 mol of C and 1 mol of A is used for the reaction.
