Lets take 100 g of this compound,
so it is going to be 2.00 g H, 32.7 g S and 65.3 g O.
2.00 g H *1 mol H/1.01 g H ≈ 1.98 mol H
32.7 g S *1 mol S/ 32.1 g S ≈ 1.02 mol S
65.3 g O * 1 mol O/16.0 g O ≈ 4.08 mol O
1.98 mol H : 1.02 mol S : 4.08 mol O = 2 mol H : 1 mol S : 4 mol O
Empirical formula
H2SO4
Letter C would be the correct answer
Mg + 2HCl = H₂ + MgCl₂
n(HCl)=c(HCl)v(HCl)
n(H₂)=n(HCl)/2=c(HCl)v(HCl)/2
n(H₂)=3.0mol/L*0.2500L/2=0.375 mol≈0.38 mol
1) Calcium carbonate contains 40.0% calcium by weight.
M(CaCO₃)=100.1 g/mol
M(Ca)=40.1 g/mol
w(Ca)=40.1/100.1=0.400 (40.0%)!
2) Mass fraction of this is excessive data.
3) The solution is:
m(Ca)=1.2 g
m(CaCO₃)=M(CaCO₃)*m(Ca)/M(Ca)
m(CaCO₃)=100.1g/mol*1.2g/40.1g/mol=3.0 g
