If a compound has two atoms of aluminum (AI) and three atoms of oxygen (O) what would its chemical formula look like?

The British gold sovereign coin is an alloy of gold and copper having a total mass of 7.988 g, and is 22-karat gold.

Answer:

(a) $m_{gold}=7.322g$

(b)

$V_{gold}=0.379cm^3$

$V_{copper}=0.122cm^3$

(c) $\rho _{coin}=15.94g/cm^3$

Explanation:

Hello,

(a) In this case, with the given formula we easily compute the mass of gold contained in the sovereign as shown below:

$m_{gold}=\frac{m_{tota}*karats}{24}=\frac{7.988g*22}{24}=7.322g$

(b) Now, by knowing the density of gold and copper, 19.32 and 8.94 g/cm³ respectively, we compute each volume, by also knowing that the rest of the coin contains copper:

$V_{gold}=\frac{m_{gold}}{\rho_{gold}} =\frac{7.322g}{19.32g/cm^3}=0.379cm^3$

$m_{copper}=7.988g-7.322g=1.09g\\V_{copper}=\frac{m_{copper}}{\rho_{copper}}=\frac{1.09g}{8.94g/cm^3} \\\\V_{copper}=0.122cm^3$

(c) Finally, the volume is computed by dividing the total mass over the total volume containing both gold and copper:

$\rho _{coin}=\frac{m_{total}}{V_{gold}+V_{copper}}=\frac{7.988 g}{0.379cm^3+0.122cm^3}\\ \\\rho _{coin}=15.94g/cm^3$

Best regards.

What is the correct chemical equation for the reaction between methane and oxygen to produce carbon dioxide and water?

kodGreya [7K]

Answer:

The answer to your question is: CH₄ + 3/2 O₂ ⇒ CO₂ + 2 H₂O

Explanation:

Methane = CH₄

Oxygen = O

Carbon dioxide = CO₂

Water = H₂O

CH₄ + 3/2 O₂ ⇒ CO₂ + 2 H₂O

This is the balanced equation
