Answer:

CeO₂

Explanation:

Hello!

In this case, since we are given the mass of both cerium and the cerium oxide, we can first compute the moles of cerium and the moles of oxygen as shown below:

$n_{Ce}=4.2gCe*\frac{1molCe}{140.12gCe}=0.03molCe\\$

$m_O=5.16g-4.2g=0.96gO\\\\n_O=0.96g*\frac{1molO}{16.0gO} =0.06molO$

Now, we simply divide each moles by 0.03 as the fewest moles in the formula to obtain the simplest formula (empirical formula) of this oxide:

$Ce=\frac{0.03}{0.03}=1\\\\O =\frac{0.06}{0.03}=2$

Thus, the formula turns out:

$CeO_2$

g A radioactive isotope of mercury, 197Hg, decays to gold, 197Au, with a disintegration constant of 0.0108hrs.-1. What % of the

weqwewe [10]

Answer:

7.49% of Mercury

Explanation:

Let N₀ represent the original amount.

Let N represent the amount after 10 days.

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Rate of disintegration (K) = 0.0108 h¯¹

Time (t) = 10 days

Percentage of Mercury remaining =?

Next, we shall convert 10 days to hours. This can be obtained as follow:

1 day = 24 h

Therefore,

10 days = 10 day × 24 h / 1 day

10 days = 240 h

Thus, 10 days is equivalent to 240 h.

Finally, we shall determine the percentage of Mercury remaining as follow:

Rate of disintegration (K) = 0.0108 h¯¹

Time (t) = 10 days

Percentage of Mercury remaining =?

Log (N₀/N) = kt /2.303

Log (N₀/N) = 0.0108 × 240 /2.303

Log (N₀/N) = 2.592 / 2.303

Log (N₀/N) = 1.1255

Take the anti log of 1.1255

N₀/N = anti log 1.1255

N₀/N = 13.3506

Invert the above expression

N/N₀ = 1/13.3506

N/N₀ = 0.0749

Multiply by 100 to express in percent.

N/N₀ = 0.0749 × 100

N/N₀ = 7.49%

Thus, 7.49% of Mercury will be remaining after 10 days

Suppose the gas resulting from the sublimation of 1.00 g carbon dioxide is collected over water at 25.0◦c into a 1.00 l containe

jeyben [28]

Answer:

0.55 atm

Explanation:

First of all, we need to calculate the number of moles corresponding to 1.00 g of carbon dioxide. This is given by

$n=\frac{m}{M_m}$

where

m = 1.00 g is the mass of the gas

Mm = 44.0 g/mol is the molar mass of the gas

Substituting,

$n=\frac{1.00 g}{44.0 g/mol}=0.0227 mol$

Now we can find the pressure of the gas by using the ideal gas law:

$pV=nRT$

where

p is the gas pressure

V = 1.00 L is the volume

n = 0.0227 mol is the number of moles

R = 0.082 L/(atm K mol) is the gas constant

T = 25.0 C + 273 = 298 K is the temperature of the gas

Solving the formula for p, we find

$p=\frac{nRT}{V}=\frac{(0.0227 mol)(0.082 L/(atm K mol))(298 K)}{1.00 L}=0.55 atm$
