Sulfur reacts with oxygen to produce sulfur dioxide. That is for every mole of sulfur reacted, one mole of sulfur dioxide also is produced. With the given mole of sulfur dioxide, the amount of sulfur in mass is determined by multiplying the number of moles to the molar mass of sulfur (32 g/mol).
Answer:
0.022 mol O
Explanation:
Mg3(Si2O5)2(OH)2
We can see that 1 mol of this substance has 3 mol of Mg.
Oxygen altogether is 5*2 (from (Si2O5)2) + 2(from(OH)2) = 10 +2 = 12
So, 1 mol of this substance has 12 mol oxygen.
So, 1 mol of this substance contains 3 mol Mg and 12 mol O, or
ratio Mg : O = 3 : 12 = 1 : 4
1 mol Mg ----- 4 mol O
0.055 mol Mg ---x mol O
x = 0.055*4/1 = 0.220 mol O
Answer:
For the first oxide, 1 g gives 0.888 g of copper.
Dividing by 0.888 tells us that 1.126 g gives 1 g of copper so has 0.126 g of oxygen.
For the second oxide, 1 g gives 0.798 g of copper.
Dividing by 0.798 tells us that 1.253 g gives 1 g of copper so has 0.253 g of oxygen.
So 1 g of copper combines with either 0.126 g or 0.253 g of oxygen.
Within the limits of experimental error, 0.253 is twice 0.126, confirming the law of multiple proportion.
