Answer:

Al2O3

Explanation:

If we combine two Al3+ ions and three O2- ions, and use subscripts to indicate the number of each ion in the formula, we obtain Al2O3 as the empirical formula

Determine the empirical and molecular formula for chrysotile asbestos. Chrysotile has the following percent composition: 28.03%

nlexa [21]

Answer: The empirical and molecular formula of chrysotile is $Mg_3Si_2H_3O_4$ and $Mg_6Si_4H_6O_{16}$

Explanation:

We are given:

Percentage of Mg = 28.03 %

Percentage of Si = 21.60 %

Percentage of H = 1.16 %

Percentage of O = 49.21 %

Let the mass of compound be 100 g. So, percentages given are taken as mass.

Mass of Mg = 28.03 g

Mass of Si = 21.60 g

Mass of H = 1.16 g

Mass of O = 49.21 g

To formulate the empirical formula, we need to follow some steps:

Step 1: Converting the given masses into moles.

Moles of Magnesium = $\frac{\text{Given mass of Magnesium}}{\text{Molar mass of Magnesium}}=\frac{28.03g}{24g/mole}=1.17moles$

Moles of Silicon = $\frac{\text{Given mass of Silicon}}{\text{Molar mass of Silicon}}=\frac{21.06g}{28g/mole}=0.752moles$

Moles of Hydrogen = $\frac{\text{Given mass of Hydrogen}}{\text{Molar mass of Hydrogen}}=\frac{1.16g}{1g/mole}=1.16moles$

Moles of Oxygen = $\frac{\text{Given mass of oxygen}}{\text{Molar mass of oxygen}}=\frac{49.21g}{16g/mole}=3.07moles$

Step 2: Calculating the mole ratio of the given elements.

For the mole ratio, we divide each value of the moles by the smallest number of moles calculated which is 0.752 moles.

For Magnesium = $\frac{1.17}{0.752}=1.5$

For Silicon = $\frac{0.752}{0.752}=1$

For Hydrogen = $\frac{1.16}{0.752}=1.5$

For Oxygen = $\frac{3.07}{0.485}=4.08\approx 4$

To convert the mole ratios into whole numbers, we multiply individual mole ratios by 2

Mole ratio of Magnesium = (2 × 1.5) = 3

Mole ratio of Silicon = (2 × 1) = 2

Mole ratio of Hydrogen = (2 × 1.5) = 3

Mole ratio of Oxygen = (2 × 4) = 8

Step 3: Taking the mole ratio as their subscripts.

The ratio of Mg : Si : H : O = 3 : 2 : 3 : 8

The empirical formula for the given compound is $Mg_3Si_2H_3O_8$

For determining the molecular formula, we need to determine the valency which is multiplied by each element to get the molecular formula.

The equation used to calculate the valency is :

$n=\frac{\text{Molecular mass}}{\text{Empirical mass}}$

We are given:

Mass of molecular formula = 520.8 g/mol

Mass of empirical formula = [(24 × 3) + (28 × 2) + (1 × 3) + (16 × 8)] = 259 g/mol

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$n=\frac{520.8g/mol}{259g/mol}=2$

Multiplying this valency by the subscript of every element of empirical formula, we get:

$Mg_{(3\times 2)}Si_{(2\times 2)}H_{(3\times 2)}O_{(8\times 2)}=Mg_6Si_4H_6O_{16}$

Hence, the empirical and molecular formula of chrysotile is $Mg_3Si_2H_3O_4$ and $Mg_6Si_4H_6O_{16}$

Which statement gives a disadvantage of multicellular organisms?

dexar [7]

Answer: B. They reproduce slower than unicellular organisms

Explanation:

In unicellular organisms there is a single cell which performs all the functions like digestion, respiration, and reproduction. The cell reproduce by cell division. The single parent cell divides into two identical daughter cells. But multicellular organisms exhibit multiple cells and their reproduction is complex. They reproduce by sexual mode of reproduction in which separate sex cells are produced when they fuse form zygote which is the precursor of new organism. This process is slower than that of the cell division and production of progeny by the unicellular organisms. Thus reproduction is slower in multicellular organism this is the disadvantage in multicellular organisms.

Identify the solute and solvent in each solution:

PolarNik [594]

Answer:

a. 6mL of ethanol and 35mL of water: the solute is ethanol (smallest volume) and the solvent is water (greater volume).

b. 300 g of water containing 8g of NaHCO3: the solute is NaHCO3 (smallest mass) and the solvent is water (greater mass).

c. 0.005L of CO2 and 2L of O2: the solute is CO2 (smallest volume) and the solvent is O2 (greater volume).

Explanation:

Hello there!

In this case, according to the given problem, it turns out possible for us to solve these questions by bearing to mind the fact that in a solution, we can find two substances, solute and solvent, whereas the former is in a smaller proportion in comparison to the latter; in such a way, we infer the following:

a. 6mL of ethanol and 35mL of water: the solute is ethanol (smallest volume) and the solvent is water (greater volume).

b. 300 g of water containing 8g of NaHCO3: the solute is NaHCO3 (smallest mass) and the solvent is water (greater mass).

c. 0.005L of CO2 and 2L of O2: the solute is CO2 (smallest volume) and the solvent is O2 (greater volume).

Regards!
