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.

At 0 degrees Celsius, a gas occupies 22.4L. How hot must the gas be in celcius to reach a volume of 25.0L
NikAS [45]

Answer:

31.7 °C

Explanation:

Charles law states that for volume of a gas is directly proportional to the absolute temperature for a fixed amount of gas at constant pressure

we can use the following equation

V1/T1 = V2/T2

where V1 is volume and T1 is temperature at first instance

V2 is volume and T2 is temperature at second instance

temperature should be in kelvin scale

T1 - 0 °C + 273 = 273 K

substituting the values in the equation

22.4 L / 273 K = 25.0 L / T2

T2 = 304.7 K

temperature in celcius is - 304.7 K - 273 = 31.7 °C

the gas must be 31.7 °C to reach a volume of 25.0 L

Find the number of moles of water that can be formed if you have 138 mol of hydrogen gas and 64 mol of oxygen gas.
charle [14.2K]
2H₂₍g₎ + O₂ ₍g₎→ 2H₂O

138 mol H₂ × (2 mol H₂O ÷ 2 mol H₂)= 138 mol H₂O
64 mol O₂ × (2 mol H₂O ÷ 1 mol O₂)= 128 mol H₂O

128 mol H₂O

a beaker of benzene is at room temperature. what is its vapor pressure. Is this vapor pressure large enough to cause the benzene
Serhud [2]

Answer:

(1). The vapor pressure is 91 mmHg at 20°C.

(2). No, benzene will not boil at sea level.

Explanation:

Benzene, C6H6 is an aromatic, liquid compound with with molar mass of 78.11 g/mol and Melting point of 5.5 °C. One of the importance or the uses of benzene is in the making of fibres and plastics.

The vapour pressure of benzene can be gotten from the table showing the vapor pressure of different liquids.

Boiling point can simply be defined as the point or the temperature in which the vapor pressure is the same with the atmospheric pressure.

The atmospheric pressure is 760mmHg, while the vapor pressure at sea level is at the temperature of 15°C which is equal to 71 mmHg( from the table showing the vapor pressure of different liquids).

71 mmHg is not equal to 760 mmHg, thus, at sea level Benzene will not boil.
