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

What methods were used to clean up the Chernobyl and three mile island accidents?
Assoli18 [71]

<u>Answer</u>:

Electric evaporator has been used to clean up the Chernobyl and 3 mile island accident.

<u>Explanation</u>:

About 14 years back, there was a puff of radioactive steam from the evaporator used in the "Three-mile island" nuclear plant. It took two years for the electric evaporator to clean up the 2.2 million gallons of water that have been destroyed because of the nuclear power plant accident.

The steam that came out of the electric evaporator carried a radioactive form of hydrogen and tritium with itself. Cost of clean up was $1 billion.

What is the specific heat of iron, if it requires 1120 J of heat energy to raise the
IRISSAK [1]

Answer:

Specific heat is defined as the amount of heat needed to raise the temperature by one degree celsius. Therefore, in 1 kg there are 100 grams so, 10 grams equal 0.01 Kg. Thus, calculate the specific heat value as follows. Thus, we can conclude that specific heat of the given metal is 0.5 .
