First, we determine the mass of each element from the data collected. We can get the mass of molybdenum Mo from the difference between the mass of crucible and molybdenum and the mass of crucible:
Mass of molybdenum = 39.52 – 38.26 = 1.26 g Mo
We can calculate for the mass of molybdenum oxide from the difference between the mass of crucible and molybdenum oxide and the mass of crucible:
Mass of molybdenum oxide = 39.84 – 38.26 = 1.58g
We can now compute for the mass of oxygen O by subtracting the mass of molybdenum from the mass of molybdenum oxide:
Mass of oxygen in molybdenum oxide = 1.58 – 1.26 = 0.32g O
To convert mass to moles, we use the molar mass of each element.
1.26 g Mo * 1 mol Mo / 95.94 g Mo = 0.0131 mol Mo
0.32 g O * 1 mol O / 15.999 g O = 0.0200 mol O
0.0131 mol is the smallest number of moles. We divide each mole value by this number:
0.0131 mol Mo / 0.0131 = 1
0.0200 mol O / 0.0131 = 1.53
Multiplying these results by 2 to get the lowest whole number ratio,
0.0131 mol Mo / 0.0131 = 1 * 2 = 2
0.0200 mol O / 0.0131 = 1.5 * 2 = 3
Thus, we can write the empirical formula as Mo2O3.

Correct Answers
Explanation:
mass H2O2 = 55 mL(1.407 g/mL) = 80.85 g
molar mass H2O2 = 2(1.01 g/mol) + 2(16.00 g/mol) = 34.02 g/mol
moles H2O2 = 80.85 g/34.02 g/mol = 2.377 moles H2O2
For each mole of H2O2 you obtain 0.5 mole of O2 (see the equation).
moles O2 = 2.377 moles H2O2 (1 mole O2)/(2 moles H2O2) = 1.188 moles O2
Now, you need the temperature. If you are at STP (273 K, and 1.00 atm) then 1 mole of an ideal gas at STP has a volume of 22.4 L. Without temperature you are not really able to continue. I will assume you are at STP.
Volume O2 = 1.188 moles O2(22.4 L/mole) = 0.0530 L of O2.
which is 53 mL.
