Answer:

Fission. When a large fissile atomic nucleus such as uranium-235 or plutonium-239 absorbs a neutron, it may undergo nuclear fission. The heavy nucleus splits into two or more lighter nuclei, (the fission products), releasing kinetic energy, gamma radiation, and free neutrons.

An unknown compound with a molar mass of 223.94 g/mol consists of 32.18% c, 4.50% h, and 63.32% cl. find the molecular formula f

Dima020 [189]

The actual number of atoms of each element present in the molecule of the compound is represented by the formula known as molecular formula.

Molar mass of the unknown compound = 223.94 g/mol (given)

Mass of each element present in the unknown compound is determined as:

Mass of carbon, $C$ :

$\frac{32.18}{100}\times 223.94 = 72.06 g$

Mass of hydrogen, $H$ :

$\frac{4.5}{100}\times 223.94 = 10.08 g$

Mass of chlorine, $Cl$ :

$\frac{63.32}{100}\times 223.94 = 141.79 g$

Now, the number of each element in the unknown compound is determined by the formula:

$number of moles = \frac{given mass}{molar mass}$

Number of moles of $C$ :

$number of moles = \frac{72.06}{12} = 6.005 mole\simeq 6 mole$

Number of moles of $H$ :

$number of moles = \frac{10.08}{1} = 10.08 mole\simeq 10 mole$

Number of moles of $Cl$

$number of moles = \frac{141.79}{35.5} = 3.99 mole\simeq 4 mole$

Dividing each mole with the smallest number of mole, to determine the empirical formula:

$C_{\frac{6}{4}}H_{\frac{10}{4}}Cl_{\frac{10}{4}}$

$C_{1.5}H_{2.5}Cl_{1}$

Multiplying with 2 to convert the numbers in formula into a whole number:

So, the empirical formula is $C_{3}H_{5}Cl_{2}$ .

Empirical mass = $12\times 3+1\times 5+2\times 35.5 = 112 g/mol$

In order to determine the molecular formula:

n = $\frac{molar mass}{empirical mass}$

n = $\frac{223.94}{112} = 1.99 \simeq 2$

So, the molecular formula is:

$2\times C_{3}H_{5}Cl_{2} = C_{6}H_{10}Cl_{4}$

A chemist dissolves 0.096 g of CuSO4 · 5 H2O in water and dilutes the solution to the mark in a 500-mL volumetric flask. A 6-mL

scoray [572]

Answer:

(A) 4.616 * 10⁻⁶ M

(B) 0.576 mg CuSO₄·5H₂O

Explanation:

The molar weight of CuSO₄·5H₂O is:

63.55 + 32 + 16*4 + 5*(2+16) = 249.55 g/mol

The molarity of the first solution is:

(0.096 gCuSO₄·5H₂O ÷ 249.55 g/mol) / (0.5 L) = 3.847 * 10⁻⁴ M

The molarity of CuSO₄·5H₂O is the same as the molarity of just CuSO₄.

Now we use the dilution factor in order to calculate the molarity in the second solution:

(A) 3.847 * 10⁻⁴ M * 6mL/500mL = 4.616 * 10⁻⁶ M

To answer (B), we can calculate the moles of CuSO₄·5H₂O contained in 500 mL of a solution with a concentration of 4.616 * 10⁻⁶ M:

4.616 * 10⁻⁶ M * 500 mL = 2.308 * 10⁻³ mmol CuSO₄·5H₂O

2.308 * 10⁻³ mmol CuSO₄·5H₂O * 249.55 mg/mmol = 0.576 mg CuSO₄·5H₂O
