Answer:

Fe₂O₃

Explanation:

To solve this question we must find the moles of Iron in 1.68g. With the difference of the masses we can find the moles of oxygen. The formula will be obtained with the ratio of both amount of moles:

<em>Moles Fe:</em>

1.68g * (1mol / 56g)  =0.03moles

<em>Moles O:</em>

2.40g-1.68g = 0.72g * (1mol/16g) = 0.045moles

The ratio O/Fe is:

0.045moles / 0.03moles = 1.5 moles. this ratio is obtained if the formula is:

How many moles is 17.6 g NaOH?
Lynna [10]

Answer:

\boxed {\boxed {\sf D. 0.440 \ mol \ NaOH}}

Explanation:

To convert from moles to grams, the molar mass is used (mass of 1 mole). The values are the same as the atomic masses on the Periodic Table, but the units are grams per mole (g/mol) instead of atomic mass units.

<h3>1. Molar Mass</h3>

We are given the compound sodium hydroxide (NaOH) and we need to look up the molar masses of the individual elements.

  • Na:  22.9897693 g/mol
  • O: 15.999 g/mol
  • H: 1.008 g/mol

The formula for the compound has no subscripts, so there is 1 mole of each element in 1 mole of the substance. We can simply add the molar masses.

  • NaOH: 22.9897693 + 15.999 + 1.008 = 39.9967693 g/mol

This means there are 39.9967693 grams of sodium hydroxide in 1 mole.

<h3>2. Convert Grams to Moles </h3>

Use the molar mass we found as a ratio.

\frac {39.9967693 \ g \ NaOH}{ 1 \ mol \ NaOH}

Since we are converting 17.6 grams of NaOH to moles, we multiply by this value.

17.6 \ g\ NaOH *\frac {39.9967693 \ g \ NaOH}{ 1 \ mol \ NaOH}

Flip the ratio so the units of grams of NaOH cancel.

17.6 \ g\ NaOH *\frac {1 \ mol \ NaOH}{ 39.9967693 \ g \ NaOH}

17.6 *\frac {1 \ mol \ NaOH}{ 39.9967693}

\frac{17.6 }{ 39.9967693} \ mol \ NaOH

0.4400355406 \ mol \ NaOH

<h3>3. Round </h3>

The original measurement of grams has 3 significant figures, so our answer must have the same. For the number we calculated, that is the thousandth place.

  • 0.4400355406

The 0 in the ten thousandths place (in bold above) tells us to leave the 0 in the thousandth place.

0.440 \ mol \ NaOH

17.6 grams of sodium hydroxide are equal to <u>0.440 moles of sodium hydroxide.</u>

How many cu atoms are present in a piece of sterlingsilver jewelry weighing 33.24 g ? (sterling silver is a silver–copper alloy
emmasim [6.3K]

The mass of piece of sterling silver jewelry is 33.24 g. It contains 92.5% silver Ag by mass. Since, sterling silver is an alloy of Ag-Cu thus, percentage of Cu will be:

% Cu=100-92.5=7.5%

Thus, mass of copper will be:

m_{Cu}=\frac{7.5}{100}\times 33.24 g=2.493 g

Molar mass of Cu is 63.546 g/mol, thus, number of moles of Cu can be calculated as follows:

n=\frac{m}{M}

Here, m is mass and M is molar mass.

Putting the values,

n=\frac{2.493 g}{63.546 g/mol}=0.03923 mol

Now, in 1 mole of Cu there are 6.303\times 10^{23}atoms thus, in 0.03923 mol, number of Cu atoms will be:

0.03923 mol\times 6.303\times 10^{23}atoms=2.363\times 10^{22} atoms

Thus, number of atoms of Cu will be2.363\times 10^{22} atoms.

What is the velocity of a wave traveling north with a frequency of 75 hertz and a wavelength of
Vanyuwa [196]

Answer:

v = 450 m/s

Explanation:

Given data:

Frequency = 75 Hz

Wavelength = 6 m

Velocity = ?

Solution:

Velocity is the product of frequency and wavelength.

v = f × λ

v = 75 Hz ×  6 m

Hz = s⁻¹

v = 75  s⁻¹  ×  6 m

v = 450 m/s
