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:

Why must the ph ammonia buffer solution be stored and dispensed in the fume exhaust hood?
Vadim26 [7]

On the other hand ammonia is a very dangerous chemical which has a pungent smell and effect the eyes of the user. Thus it kept always in the fume exhaust hood for storing and dispensing function.  

The  pH of ammonia buffer contains ammonium hydroxide (NH₄OH) and a salt of ammonia with a  strong acid like (HCl) which produces, ammonium chloride (NH₄Cl) mixture. The evaporation rate of ammonia is so high at room temperature thus on opening of the buffer solution the ammonia get evaporated very fast and the concentration of ammonia decreases which affect the pH of the buffer solution.

Thus the reason to put ammonia buffer in fume hood is explained.

Platinum crystallizes in a face-centered cubic cell. the density of platinum is 21.4 g/cm3. calculate the radius of the platinum
IgorLugansk [536]
1 mole of platinum has a mass of 195 g therefore 1 atom will have a mass of 195 g /(6.02 ×10^23) = 3.239 × 10^-22 g
Density is given by dividing mass by volume, thus to get volume, mass is divided by density. 
The volume = (3.239 × 10^-22)/21.4 
                    = 1.514 × 10^-23 cm³
But volume of a sphere is given by 4/3πr³
Therefore, r³ = 3.6129 × 10^-24 
                 r   = ∛(3.6129 × 10^-24)
                      = 1.534 × 10^ -8 cm
Therefore, the radius of the platinum atom is 1.534 × 10^-8 cm
