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]2 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

natta225 [31]
Answer: 10 moles
To find how many moles, you need to divide the number of atoms with 6.02 * 10^23. Since every magnesium chloride has two chlorine atoms, you need to multiply it by 2. The calculation would be:  3.01×10^24  * 2 / 6.02 * 10^23= 10 moles

Under which of the following sets of conditions would the most o2 (g) be dissolved in h2o(l)?
jek_recluse [69]

Answer:

Oxygen will dissolve more in H2O at 5 atm and 20 °C than at 5 atm 80 °C

Option B is correct.

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Pressure = 5 atm

Temperature = 20 °C or 80 °C

Step 2:

At low pressure, a gas has a low solubility. Decreased pressure allows more gas molecules to be present in the air, with very little being dissolved in solution.  At high(er) pressure, a gas has a high solubility.

This means the higher the pressure the more the gas will dissolve. Since The pressure stays constant, it depends on the temperature.

The solubility of gases in liquids decreases with increasing temperature.

This means the gas will dissolve more with a lower temperature.

Oxygen will dissolve more in H2O at 5 atm and 20 °C than at 5 atm 80 °C
