Determine the empirical and molecular formula for chrysotile asbestos. Chrysotile has the following percent composition: 28.03%

nlexa [21]

Answer: The empirical and molecular formula of chrysotile is $Mg_3Si_2H_3O_4$ and $Mg_6Si_4H_6O_{16}$

Explanation:

We are given:

Percentage of Mg = 28.03 %

Percentage of Si = 21.60 %

Percentage of H = 1.16 %

Percentage of O = 49.21 %

Let the mass of compound be 100 g. So, percentages given are taken as mass.

Mass of Mg = 28.03 g

Mass of Si = 21.60 g

Mass of H = 1.16 g

Mass of O = 49.21 g

To formulate the empirical formula, we need to follow some steps:

Step 1: Converting the given masses into moles.

Moles of Magnesium = $\frac{\text{Given mass of Magnesium}}{\text{Molar mass of Magnesium}}=\frac{28.03g}{24g/mole}=1.17moles$

Moles of Silicon = $\frac{\text{Given mass of Silicon}}{\text{Molar mass of Silicon}}=\frac{21.06g}{28g/mole}=0.752moles$

Moles of Hydrogen = $\frac{\text{Given mass of Hydrogen}}{\text{Molar mass of Hydrogen}}=\frac{1.16g}{1g/mole}=1.16moles$

Moles of Oxygen = $\frac{\text{Given mass of oxygen}}{\text{Molar mass of oxygen}}=\frac{49.21g}{16g/mole}=3.07moles$

Step 2: Calculating the mole ratio of the given elements.

For the mole ratio, we divide each value of the moles by the smallest number of moles calculated which is 0.752 moles.

For Magnesium = $\frac{1.17}{0.752}=1.5$

For Silicon = $\frac{0.752}{0.752}=1$

For Hydrogen = $\frac{1.16}{0.752}=1.5$

For Oxygen = $\frac{3.07}{0.485}=4.08\approx 4$

To convert the mole ratios into whole numbers, we multiply individual mole ratios by 2

Mole ratio of Magnesium = (2 × 1.5) = 3

Mole ratio of Silicon = (2 × 1) = 2

Mole ratio of Hydrogen = (2 × 1.5) = 3

Mole ratio of Oxygen = (2 × 4) = 8

Step 3: Taking the mole ratio as their subscripts.

The ratio of Mg : Si : H : O = 3 : 2 : 3 : 8

The empirical formula for the given compound is $Mg_3Si_2H_3O_8$

For determining the molecular formula, we need to determine the valency which is multiplied by each element to get the molecular formula.

The equation used to calculate the valency is :

$n=\frac{\text{Molecular mass}}{\text{Empirical mass}}$

We are given:

Mass of molecular formula = 520.8 g/mol

Mass of empirical formula = [(24 × 3) + (28 × 2) + (1 × 3) + (16 × 8)] = 259 g/mol

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$n=\frac{520.8g/mol}{259g/mol}=2$

Multiplying this valency by the subscript of every element of empirical formula, we get:

$Mg_{(3\times 2)}Si_{(2\times 2)}H_{(3\times 2)}O_{(8\times 2)}=Mg_6Si_4H_6O_{16}$

Hence, the empirical and molecular formula of chrysotile is $Mg_3Si_2H_3O_4$ and $Mg_6Si_4H_6O_{16}$

For a particular redox reaction, NO-2 is oxidized to NO-3 and Ag+ is reduced to Ag . Complete and balance the equation for this

Salsk061 [2.6K]

The following are the steps to complete and balnce the equation for the given reaction

Explanation:

We are given, NO2– is oxidized to NO3– and Ag is reduced to Ag

NO2– + Ag+ -----> NO3– + Ag(s)

Step 1) Assign the oxidation state to each element reaction

NO2– + Ag+ -----> NO3– + Ag(s)

N= +3 N = +5

O = -2 O = -2

Ag = +1 Ag = 0

NO2– -----> NO3– ………oxidation half reaction

Ag+ -----> Ag(s) ……….reduction half reaction

Step 2) Balance the element other than O and H

NO2– -----> NO3–

Ag+ -----> Ag(s)

Step 3) Balance the O by adding 1 H2O for 1 O

NO2– + H2O -----> NO3–

Ag+ -----> Ag(s)

Step 4) Balance the H by adding H+

NO2– + H2O -----> NO3– + 2H+

Ag+ -----> Ag(s)

Step 5) Balance the charge by adding electron

NO2– + H2O -----> NO3– + 2H+ + 2e-

Ag+ + 1e------> Ag(s)

Step 6) Balance the electron in both half reaction

NO2– + H2O -----> NO3– + 2H+ + 2e-

2 Ag+ + 2e------> 2 Ag(s)

ivann1987 [24]

Alpha particle has a mass of 4 (Two protons and two neutrons)
Neutron has a mass of 1
Beta particle has a mass of about 0 (Electron)
Proton has a mass of 1
So the answer is (2) Beta particle

If kc = 0.143 at 25°c for this reaction, predict the direction in which the system will shift if the initial concentrations of c

GenaCL600 [577]

The equation is as follows:
Cyclohexane (C6H12) ⇔ Methyl cyclopentane (C6H12)
The equilibrium constant Kc = 0.143 >>> (1)
Qc is the reaction quotient
where; If Q = K >>>> No shift left or right >>> (2)
Q > K >>>> Reaction shifts left >>> (3)
Q < K >>>> Reaction shifts right >>> (4)
And in our equation; Q = 0.3 / 0.4 = 0.75 >>> (5)
From (1), (3) and (5), Q > Kc
∴ the reaction shifts left
