A divalent metal oxide contains 60 % of metal. What is atomic weight of metal ?​

Chemistry
1 answer:
kow [346]2 years ago
6 0

Atomic weight of metal : 24

<h3>Further explanation </h3>

Proust states the Comparative Law that compounds are formed from elements with the same Mass Comparison so that compounds have a fixed composition of elements

Divalent metal oxide=XO

MW O = 16

MW XO₂ =  X+16

\tt \%mass=\dfrac{Ar~X}{X+16}\times 100\%\\\\0.6=\dfrac{X}{X+16}\\\\0.6(X+16)=X\\\\0.6X+9.6=X\\\\0.4X=9.6\rightarrow X=24

What is formula mass of glucose C2H12O6
Delvig [45]
Glucose has empirical formula C6H12O6. So its formula mass can be calculated from that: 12.01x6 + 1.008x12 + 16.00x6 = 72.06 + 12.096 + 96.00 = 180.156 which needs to be rounded to two decimals to get 180.16 g/mole<span>.</span>

Some compounds are described as binary compounds what does this mean
zubka84 [21]

Answer:

It means these compounds are only made up of two elements.

Explanation:

Binary compounds:

The compounds which are made up of the atoms of only two elements are called binary compounds.

For example:

The following compounds are binary:

HCl

H₂O

NH₃

HCl is binary because it is composed of only hydrogen and chlorine. Ammonia is also binary compound because it is made up of only two elements nitrogen and hydrogen.

water is also binary because it is also made up of only two elements hydrogen and oxygen.

While all polyatomic compounds are not binary. for example,

H₂SO₄

It is made up of hydrogen, sulfur and oxygen. There are three elements are present in this compound. So, it is not binary compound.

How much heat is required to raise the temperature of 10.35g of CCl4 from 32.1°c to 56.4°c
Travka [436]
We are going to use this formula:

Q = M*C*ΔT

when Q is the heat required 

M is the mass of CCl4 = 10.35 g

C is the specific heat capacity of CCl4 = 0.874J/g.c

and ΔT the change in temperature = 56.4 - 32.1 °C =24.3 °C

∴ Q = 10.35g * 0.874 * 24.3 °C

       = 219.8 J
