Answer: The empirical formula is $MgSO_3$

Explanation:

Mass of Mg= 46.6 g

Mass of S= 61.4 g

Mass of O = 92.0 g

Step 1 : convert given masses into moles.

Moles of Mg = $\frac{\text{ given mass of Mg}}{\text{ molar mass of Mg}}= \frac{46.6g}{24g/mole}=1.942moles$

Moles of S = $\frac{\text{ given mass of S}}{\text{ molar mass of S}}= \frac{61.4g}{32g/mole}=1.918moles$

Moles of O = $\frac{\text{ given mass of O}}{\text{ molar mass of O}}= \frac{92.0g}{16g/mole}=5.75moles$

Step 2 : For the mole ratio, divide each value of moles by the smallest number of moles calculated.

For Mg = $\frac{1.942}{1.918}=$

For S= $\frac{1.918}{1.918}=1$

For O = $\frac{5.75}{1.918}=3$

The ratio of Mg: S: O = 1: 1: 3

Hence the empirical formula is $MgSO_3$

Some bacteria cells make people sick by releasing large molecules called toxins that affect your bodies. What

earnstyle [38]

Answer: Exocytosis is the reverse of endocytosis. Quantities of material are expelled from the cell without ever passing through the membrane as individual molecules. By using the processes of endocytosis and exocytosis, some specialized types of cells move large amounts of bulk material into and out of themselves.

If heat is supplied to the stillpot too rapidly, the ability to separate two liquids by fractional distillation may be drastical

hram777 [196]

Answer: The boiling points of the two liquids are quickly exceeded

Explanation:

Fractional distillation is a method of separating a mixture of liquids where each has different boiling points.

To therefore obtain individual fractions, temperature rise of the mixture must be gradual, otherwise the boiling points of the two liquids will be quickly exceeded making collection of each fraction impossible.

What is the volume in L of a 0.825 mole sample of Ar at 600 mm Hg and 300 K?

Natali5045456 [20]

Answer:

V = 25.7 L

Explanation:

To find the volume of Argon (Ar), you need to use the Ideal Gas Law equation. This looks like:

PV = nRT

In this formula,

> P = pressure (atm)

> V = volume (L)

> n = number of moles

> R = constant (0.0821 L*atm/K*mol)

> T = temperature (K)

While there is a different constant that can be used if you want to keep the pressure in mmHg, there is a more common constant used when the pressure is in atm. So, to find the volume, you need to (1) convert mmHg to atm (by dividing by 760) and then (2) calculate the volume (using Ideal Gas Law).

(Step 1)

600 mm Hg 1 atm
------------------- x --------------------- = 0.789 atm
760 mm Hg

(Step 2)

PV = nRT

(0.789 atm) x V = (0.825 mole)(0.0821 L*atm/K*mol)(300 K)

(0.789 atm) x V = 20.32

V = 25.7 L
