Answer:
AuCl
Explanation:
Given parameters:
Mass of Gold = 2.6444g
Mass of Chlorine = 0.476g
Unknown:
Empirical formula = ?
Solution:
Empirical formula is the simplest formula of a compound. Here is the way of determining this formula.
Elements Au Cl
Mass 2.6444 0.476
Molar mass 197 35.5
Number of moles 2.6444/197 0.476/35.5
0.013 0.013
Divide by the
smallest 0.013/0.013 0.013/0.013
1 1
The empirical formula of the compound is AuCl
<span>Well it depends on percentage by what, but I'll just assume that it's percentage by mass.
For this, we look at the atomic masses of the elements present in the compound.
Cu has an atomic mass of 63.546 amu
Fe has 55.845 amu
and S has 36.065 amu
Since there are 2 molecules of Sulfur for each one of Cu and Fe, we'll multiply the Sulfur atomic weight by 2 to obtain 72.13 amu
So we have not established the mass of the compound in amus
63.546 + 55.845 + 72.13 = 191.521
That is the atomic mass of Chalcopyrite. and Iron's atomic mass is 55.845
So to get the percentage, or fraction of iron, we take 55.845 / 191.521
Which comes out to 29.15% by mass
Mass of the sample is not needed for this calculation, but since the question mentions it I would go ahead and check if the question isn't also asking for the mass of Iron in the sample as well, in which case you just find the 29.15% of 67.7g</span>
We are given that the concentration of NaOH is 0.0003 M and are asked to calculate the pH
We know that NaOH dissociates by the following reaction:
NaOH → Na⁺ + OH⁻
Which means that one mole of NaOH produces one mole of OH⁻ ion, which is what we care about since the pH is affected only by the concentration of H⁺ and OH⁻ ions
Now that we know that one mole of NaOH produces one mole of OH⁻, 0.0003M NaOH will produce 0.0003M OH⁻
Concentration of OH⁻ (also written as [OH⁻]) = 3 * 10⁻⁴
<u>pOH of the solution:</u>
pOH = -log[OH⁻] = -log(3 * 10⁻⁴)
pOH = -0.477 + 4
pOH = 3.523
<u>pH of the solution:</u>
We know that the sum of pH and pOH of a solution is 14
pH + pOH = 14
pH + 3.523 = 14 [subtracting 3.523 from both sides]
pH = 10.477
