A percent composition analysis yields

Chemistry
1 answer:
siniylev [52]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

PCl₃

Explanation:

To determine the empirical formula of a compound, we need to follow a series of steps.

Step 1: Divide each percent composition by the atomic mass of the element

P: 22.6/30.97 = 0.729

Cl: 77.4/35.45 = 2.18

Step 2: Divide all the numbers by the smallest one, i.e. 0.729

P: 0.729/0.729 = 1

Cl: 2.18/0.729 ≈ 3

The empirical formula of the compound is PCl₃.

Calculate the specific heat of a piece of wood if 2000 g of wood absorbs 75,250 J of heat, and its temperature changes from 30°C
inna [77]

Answer:

C

Explanation:

<em>The </em><em>specific</em><em> </em><em>heat </em><em>capacity</em><em>=</em><em>quantity</em><em> of</em><em> </em><em>heat</em><em> </em><em>in </em><em>joule/</em><em>mass×</em><em>c</em><em>h</em><em>a</em><em>n</em><em>g</em><em>e</em><em> </em><em>in </em><em>temperature</em>

<em>from </em><em>this </em><em>question</em><em> </em><em>the </em><em>quantity</em><em> of</em><em> </em><em>heat</em><em> </em><em>is </em><em>7</em><em>5</em><em>2</em><em>5</em><em>0</em><em>,</em><em>the </em><em>mass </em><em>is </em><em>2</em><em>0</em><em>0</em><em>0</em><em> </em><em>and </em><em>the </em><em>change </em><em>in </em><em>temperature</em><em> </em><em>is </em><em>5</em><em>0</em><em>-</em><em>3</em><em>0</em>

<em>which </em><em>is </em><em>2</em><em>0</em>

<em>therefore</em>

<em>c=</em><em>7</em><em>5</em><em>2</em><em>5</em><em>0</em><em>/</em><em>2</em><em>0</em><em>0</em><em>0</em><em>×</em><em>2</em><em>0</em>

<em>c=</em><em>7</em><em>5</em><em>2</em><em>5</em><em>0</em><em>/</em><em>4</em><em>0</em><em>0</em><em>0</em><em>0</em>

<em>c=</em><em>1</em><em>.</em><em>8</em><em>8</em>

<em>I </em><em>hope </em><em>this </em><em>helps</em>

A 1.0 mole sample of fluorine gas at 25 °C has an average molecular velocity of 415 m/s. What is the total KE of the gas sample?
Mariana [72]

The total kinetic energy of the gas sample is 3.3 KJ

<h3>What is kinetic energy? </h3>

This is the energy possessed by an object in motion. Mathematically, it can be expressed as:

KE = ½mv²

Where

  • KE is the kinetic energy
  • m is the mass
  • v is the velocity

<h3>How to determine the mass of the fluorine gas</h3>
  • Molar mass of fluorine gas = 38 g/mol
  • Mole of fluorine gas = 1 mole
  • Mass of fluorine gas = ?

Mass = mole × molar mass

Mass of fluorine gas = 1 × 38

Mass of fluorine gas = 38 g

<h3>How to determine the KE of the gas sample</h3>
  • Mass (m) = 38 g = 38 / 1000 = 0.038 Kg
  • Velocity (v) = 415 m/s
  • Kinetic energy (KE) =?

KE = ½mv²

KE = ½ × 0.038 × 415²

KE = 3272.275 J

Divide by 1000 to express in kilojoule

KE = 3272.275 / 1000

KE = 3.3 KJ
