In chemistry, the empirical formula of a chemical compound is the simplest positive integer ratio of atoms present in a compound. A simple example of this concept is that the empirical formula of sulfur monoxide, or SO, would simply be SO, as is the empirical formula of disulfur dioxide, S2O2.

A metal forms the fluoride MF3. Electrolysis of the molten fluoride by a current of 3.86 A for 16.2 minutes deposits 1.25 g of t
larisa86 [58]

<u>Answer: </u>The molar mass of the metal is 96.45 g/mol

<u>Explanation:</u>

The fluoride of the metal formed is MF_3

The oxidation half-reaction follows:

M\rightarrow M^{3+}+3e^-

Calculating the theoretical mass deposited by using Faraday's law, which is:

m=\frac{M\times I\times t(s)}{n\times F}       ......(1)

where,

m = actual mass deposited = 1.25 g

M = molar mass of metal = ?

I = average current = 3.86 A

t = time period in seconds = 16.2 min = 972 s            (Conversion factor: 1 min = 60 sec)

n = number of electrons exchanged = 3mol^{-1}

F = Faraday's constant = 96500 C

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

1.25g=\frac{M\times 3.86A\times 972s}{3mol^{-1}\times 96500 C}\\\\M=\frac{1.25g\times 3mol^{-1}\times 96500 C}{3.86A\times 972s}\\\\M=96.45g/mol

Hence, the molar mass of the metal is 96.45 g/mol

- Ibrahim and Emmanuel have been investigating the amount of copper sulfate that
nignag [31]

The boys can arrive at the conclusion that as temperature increases, a greater mass of copper sulfate is dissolved in water.

<h3>What is an experiment?</h3>

An experiment is a scientific investigation that seeks to obtain cause and effect relationships. There must be a dependent and an independent variable in every experiment.

The average of the temperature readings is; 20 + 30 + 40 + 50 + 60 + 70 + 80/7 =  50

They used an interval of 10 degrees for the temperature readings. The boys should have kept the heating time the same. The independent variable in this experiment is the temperature. The boys can arrive at the conclusion that as temperature increases, a greater mass of copper sulfate is dissolved in water.

DaniilM [7]

Answer:

∴ΔH₂ = - 12,258 KJ

Explanation:

Enthalpy:

Enthalpy is a property of a thermodynamic system. Enthalpy of a system is equal to the sum of internal energy of the system and presser times volume of the system.

    The heat absorbes or releases in a closed system is the change of enthalpy of the system.

Given reactions are:

Reaction 1: C₃H₈(g)+5O₂(g)→ 3CO₂(g)+4H₂O,                 ΔH₁= - 2043 KJ

Reaction 2: 6C₃H₈(g)+30 O₂(g)→ 18 CO₂(g)+24 H₂O,     ΔH₂=?

Take a look at reaction 1 and reaction 2, the only difference is that 1 molecule of C₃H₈ is combusted in reaction 1 and 6 molecules of C₃H₈  is  combusted in reaction 2.

We can think the reaction 2 as occurring 6 different container and each containers contains 1 molecule of C₃H₈. The enthalpy is an extensive property. Total enthapy of the 6 containers is = 6×(-2043 KJ)

                                                                            = - 12,258 KJ

∴ΔH₂ = - 12,258 KJ

How many formula units of CaO are in 32.7 g of CaO?
max2010maxim [7]

Answer:

3.51× 10²³ formula units

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of CaO = 32.7 g

Number of formula units = ?

Solution:

First of all we will calculate the number of moles.

Number of moles = mass/molar mass

Number of moles = 32.7 g/ 56.1 g/mol

Number of moles = 0.583 mol

Number of formula units:

1 mole = 6.022 × 10²³ formula units

0.583 mol ×  6.022 × 10²³ formula units / 1 mol

3.51× 10²³ formula units

The number 6.022 × 10²³ is called Avogadro number.
