An oxide of arsenic contains 3.26 g of arsenic and 1.04 g of oxygen. What is the empirical formula for this oxide?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Delvig [45]3 years ago
6 0

The empirical formula for this oxide : As₂O₃

Further explanation:

Given

mass of Arsenic=3.26 g

mass of Oxygen = 1.04 g

Required

The empirical formula

Analysis

  • find mole of elements
  • determine the ratio of each element

Solution

mol of Arsenic(MW=74,9216 u) :

\tt mol=\dfrac{3.26}{74,9216}=0.0435

mol of Oxygen(MW=15.999 u) :

\tt mol=\dfrac{1.04}{15.999}=0.065.

The ratio for each element (divide by smaller mol⇒Arsenic)

Arsenic : Oxygen :

\tt \dfrac{0.0435}{0.0435}\div \dfrac{0.065}{0.0435}=1\div 1.5\rightarrow 2\div 3

The empirical formula : As₂O₃

Which pair of elements can be used to determine the age of a fossil that is over one billion years old?
lakkis [162]

Answer:

Explanation:

There are some radioactive nuclides can be used to measure time on an archeological scale. One is the best example of this is radiocarbon dating. This process is based on the ratio of caebon-14 to carbon-12 in the atmosphere which is relatively constant.

The half time of C-14 5730 years  

Carbon-14 is a radioactive nucleus. It has a half-life of 5730 years.

All living tissues like plants and animal absorbed carbon-12 along with carbon-14 with same ratio of caebon-14 to carbon-12 in the atmosphere.

Carbon-14 dating is based on the ratio of carbon-14 to carbon-12 in the atmosphere which is relatively constant

Some versions of the periodic table show hydrogen at the top of Group 1A(1) and at the top of Group 7A(17). What properties of h
lawyer [7]

Answer:Hydrogen is placed such because it exhibits some similar characteristics of both group1 and group VII elements.

Explanation:

The reason why hydrogen is similar to group 1 metals:

#It has same valence electron and inorder achieve octet state it can lose that electron and forms H+ ion

#It acts as a good reducing agent similar to group1 metals

#It can also halides

Similarity to halogens:

#hydrogen can also gain one electron to gain noble gas configuration. It can combine with other non metals to form molecules with covalent bonding.

#It exists as diatomin molecule,H2

#Have the same electronegativity nature

#its reaction with other metal

Use complete sentences to differentiate between acids and bases on the basis of their behavior when dissolved in water. Give an
forsale [732]
<span>Bases and Acids are chemically opposite from each other,and there are multiple ways to distinguish how they react when dissolved in water. One accepted definition is that an acid is any chemical substance that, when it is dissolved in water, creates a solution with hydrogen ion activity greater than pure/neutral water. That is, it donates a proton to the solution. Any substance with a pH less than 7.0 is an acid, and includes substances such as vinegar and lemon juice. By comparison, a base is any chemical substance that, when it is dissolved in water, creates a solution in which has hydrogen ion activity less than pure/neutral water. That is, it accepts protons. Any substance with a pH greater than 7.0 is a base, and includes substances such as ammonia and baking soda.</span>

how much water should be added to 1 gallon of pure antifreeze to obtain a solution that is 60% antifreeze?
antoniya [11.8K]
1 gallon of antifreeze = 60% of mixture. Total mixture:
Vm = 1/0.6
= 1.67 gallons

Volume of water = total vol - antifreeze vol
= 1.67 - 1
= 0.67 gallon of water
