Answer:
Zn3P2O8
Explanation:
In this particular question, it is necessary to convert the respective masses to percentages. We convert to percentages by placing each mass over the total mass and multiplying by 100%. Since the total is 50mg, conversion to percentage can be done by multiplying the masses by 2 as 100/50 is 2
For Oxygen = 16.58 * 2 = 33.16%
For phosphorus = 8.02 * 2 = 16.04%
For zinc = 25.40 * 2 = 50.80%
We then proceed to divide these percentages by their respective atomic masses. The atomic mass of oxygen, phosphorus and zinc are 16, 31 and 65 respectively.
O = 33.16/16 = 2.0725
P = 16.04/31 = 0.5174
Zn = 50.80/65 = 0.7815
Now, we divide by the smallest value which is that of the phosphorus
O = 2.0725/0.5174 = 4
P = 0.5174/0.5174 = 1
Zn= 0.7815/0.5174 = 1.5
Now, we need to multiply through by 2. This yields: O = 8, P = 2 and Zn = 3
The empirical formula is thus: Zn3P2O8
Answer:
4804.5 g of SO₂ are needed to the reaction
Explanation:
The reaction to produce sulfuric acid is:
2SO₂ + O₂ + 2H₂O → 2H₂SO₄
Ratio is 1:2. 1 mol of oxygen needs 2 moles of sulfur dioxide in order to react. We can propose this rule of three.
If 1 mol of O₂ react to 2 moles of SO₂
Then, 37.50 moles of O₂ will react with (37.5 . 2) /1 = 75 moles of SO₂
We convert the moles to mass, to know the answer:
75 mol . 64.06 g / 1 mol = 4804.5 g of SO₂
Answer:
a. 58.5 g/mol
b. 0.1 mol
Explanation:
a.
The molar mass of Na is 23.0 g/mol. The molar mass of Cl is 35.5 g/mol. The molar mass of NaCl is:
M(Na) + M(Cl) = 23.0 g/mol + 35.5 g/mol = 58.5 g/mol
b. A healthy adult should eat no more than 6 g of salt in one day. The moles corresponding to 6 g of NaCl are:
6 g × (1 mol/58.5 g) = 0.1 mol
Explanation:
When we have direct sunlight, the temperature is higher compared to indirect sunlight.
Direct sunlight is usually overhead whereas indirect sunlight is at an angle to the surface.
- Direct sunlight impacts the surface with more energy concentrated on a smaller surface area.
- This warms the surface more.
- Indirect sunlight is diffuse and spreads over a wider area.
- This leads to a reduction in temperature.
