alisha [4.7K]

Answer:

25 grams

Explanation:

You strat off with 400 grams of your substance. By day 14, half has dcayed and you only have 200 grams left. By day 28, there are 100 grams of the substance. On day 42, there are 50 grams left. Finally, on day 56, the substance has been through four half-lives and 25 grams remain.

nalin [4]

Answer:

v = 23.96 cm³

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass = 15.0 g

Density = 0.626 g/cm³

Volume = ?

Solution:

Formula:

D=m/v

D= density

m=mass

V=volume

Now we will put the values in formula:

d = m/v

v = m/d

v = 15 g / 0.626 g/cm³

v = 23.96 cm³

PLEASE HELP!!!
trasher [3.6K]

Answer:

(a) oxygen

(b) 154g (to 3sf)

(c) 79.9% (to 3sf)

Explanation:

mass (g) = moles × Mr/Ar

note: eqn means chemical equation

(a)

moles of P = 84.1 ÷ 30.973 = 2.7152 moles

moles of O2 = 85÷2(16) = 2.65625 moles

Assuming all the moles of P is used up,

moles of O2 / moles of phosphorus = 5/4 (according to balanced chemical eqn)

moles of O2 required = 5/4 × 2.7152moles = 3.394 moles (more than supplied which is 2.65625moles)

therefore there is insufficient moles of O2 and the limiting reactant is oxygen.

(b)

moles of P2O5 produced

= 2/5 (according to eqn) × 2.7152

= 1.08608moles

mass of P2O5 produced

= 1.08608 × [ 2(30.973) + 5(16) ]

= 154.164g

= approx. 154g to 3 sig. fig.

(c)

% yield = actual/theoretical yield × 100%

= 123/154 × 100%

= 79.870%

= approx. 79.9% (to 3sf)

A compound has an empirical formula of AB and a molar mass of 90 g/mol. What is its
Lelu [443]

Answer:

A3B3

Explanation:

Molecular formula = n x empirical formula

(AB) n = 90

MM of AB = 30 g/mol

30n = 90

Divide both side by the coefficient n i.e 30

n = 90/30 = 3

Molecular formula = n x empirical formula

Molecular formula = n x (AB)

Molecular formula = 3(AB) = A3B3
