Answer:

B₂O₃

Explanation:

Step 1: Calculate the mass of oxygen in 150 mg of boron oxide

Of 150 mg of boron oxide, 46.6 mg belong to boron. The mass of oxygen is:

150 mg - 46.6 mg = 103.4 mg

Step 2: Calculate the percent by mass of each element

We will use the following expression.

%Element = mElement/mCompound × 100%

%B = 46.6 mg/150 mg × 100% = 31.1%

%O = 103.4 mg/150 mg × 100% = 68.9%

Step 3: Divide each percentage by the atomic mass of the element

B: 31.1/10.81 = 2.88

O: 68.9/16.00 = 4.31

Step 4: Divide both numbers by the smallest one (2.88)

B: 2.88/2.88 = 1

O: 4.31/2.88 ≈ 1.5

Step 5: Multiply both numbers by 2 so that they are integers

B: 1 × 2 = 2

O: 1.5 × 2 = 3

The empirical formula is B₂O₃.

What is the molar mass of 81.50 g of gas
garik1379 [7]

The molar mass  of gas = 238.29 g/mol

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

mass = 81.5 g

P=1.75 atm

V=4.92 L

T=307 K

Required

molar mass

Solution

The gas equation can be written  

\large{\boxed{\bold{PV=nRT}}

\tt n=\dfrac{mass}{molar~mass}

So the equation becomes :

\tt Molar~mass=\dfrac{mRT}{PV}

Input the value :

\tt M=\dfrac{81.5\times 0.082\times 307}{1.75\times 4.92}\\\\M=238.29~g/mol
