Answer:

The empirical formula of the compound is Mg_3N_2.

Explanation:

Mass of magnesium in compound = 0.273 g

Mass of nitrogen in the compound = 0.105 g

Moles of magnesium =\frac{0.273 g}{24.305 g/mol}=0.0112 mol

Moles of nitrogen = \frac{0.105 g}{14.0067 g/mol}=0.00750 mol

Form empirical formula divides the lowest value of moles of an element present with all the moles of elements present.

Magnesium =\frac{0.0112 mol}{0.00750 mol}=1.5

Nitrogen =\frac{0.00750mol}{0.00750 mol}=1

The empirical formula of a compound:

Mg_{1.5}N_1=Mg_{\frac{15}{10}}N_1=Mg_{15}N_{10}=Mg_3N_2

The empirical formula of the compound is Mg_3N_2.

What is the percentage of water in hydrated calcium chloride​
earnstyle [38]

Answer:

24.5%

Explanation:

You just add up the atomic masses.  

Ca - 40.078  

Cl2 - 35.4527 x 2 = 70.9054  

------ 110.9834  

H4 - 1.00794 x 4 = 4.03176  

O2 - 31.9998  

------ 36.03056  

TOTAL - 147.01396  

So the water is 36.03056/147.01396 = .245082576 but that is only accurate to three decimals (because the mass of Ca was only given to three decimals) so we write .245 and that is 24.5%

This is not my answer but I found it on Yahoo answers and it was answered by Anonymous.

Find the linear function Cequals​f(F) that gives the reading on the Celsius temperature scale corresponding to a reading on the
padilas [110]

Answer:

C = (5/9) F - (160/9)

They both read equal at Z = - 40

Explanation:

We are looking for a linear function so we can write the following condition

Y = aX + b

Applying it to the exercise we got C = a F + b

Let's use the facts that C = 0 when F = 32 and C = 100 when F = 212

0 = 32 a + b            (1)

100 = 212 a + b       (2)

From (1) b = - 32 a , when we replace this in (2) we obtain a = (5/9)

and b = - (5/9)32 = - 160/9

Finally the linear function is C = (5/9) F - (160/9)

Both readings are equal at a Z number so

Z = (5/9) Z - 160/9

(4/9) Z = -160/9 and Z = - 40

An organic compound is composed of 38.7% C, 9.70% H, 51.6% O. The compound has a molecular formula mass of 62.0g/mol.
Tcecarenko [31]

<span>B)<span>C2H6O<span>2
</span></span></span>
First, convert each percentage to grams: 38.7g, 9.70g, and 51.6g. 
Next, calculate the number of moles of each element, based on the number of grams given.
C = 3.23 mol
H = 8.91 mol
O = 3.23 mol
Set up the ratio of moles of each element:
C3.34H9.70O3.23. Convert the decimals to whole numbers by dividing by the smallest subscript, 3.23.
The empirical formula is CH3O.
Now, compute the formula mass, which is 31. Finally, divide the molecular mass by the formula mass, 62/31 = 2. Multiple the subscripts by 2 to get the molecular formula.

Write the steps for calculating molar mass.
Marizza181 [45]

Answer:

Explanation:

1) Find number of each of the type of atom that is present in the compound, using the chemical formula .

2) Then multiply number of atoms of each element that is present in the compound with the atomic weight of each of the element

3) Add everything together and add the units (grams/mole ) after the number

Let finds that of water

Chemical formula of water is (H20 )

hydogens atoms= 2

oxygen atom= 1

Atomic weight for Hydrogen= 1

Atomic weight for Oxygen= 16

Total number of atoms of Hydrogen from the formula (H2O)= 2

Total number of atoms of Oxygen from the formula (H2O)= 1

the molar mass=

Hydrogen: ( 2 x 1)= 2

Oxygen: ( 1 x 16)= 16

Add together= (16+2)

= 18

Then add the unit, we have(18 g/mol.)
