Answer:

a) 2 (H+) ions

b) 1 (SO3²-) ions

c) 1.36 × 10^-22 grams.

Explanation:

According to this question, sulfurous acid has a chemical formula; H2SO3. It is made up of hydrogen and sulfite ion. Hydrogen ion (H+) is the cation while sulfite ion (SO32-) is the anion.

Based on the chemical formula, there are 2 moles of hydrogen ions that reacts with 1 mole of sulfite ion as follows:

2H+ + SO3²- → H2SO3

Hence;

- there are 2 hydrogen ions (2H+) present in H2SO3.

- there is 1 sulfite ion (SO3²-) present in H2SO3.

c) The mass of one formula unit of H2SO3 is calculated thus:

= 1.008 (2) + 32.065 + 15.999(3)

= 2.016 + 32.065 + 47.997

= 82.08 a.m.u

Since, 1 gram is = 6.02 x 10^23 a.m.u

82.08 a.m.u = 82.08/6.02 × 10^-23

= 13.6 × 10^-23

= 1.36 × 10^-22 grams.

A pure sample of a new chemical compound was analyzed and was found to have the following mass percentages: Al 31.5 %; O 56.1 %;
rjkz [21]

Answer:

The answer to your question is empirical formula   Al₃O₉S

Explanation:

Data

Al = 31.5 %

O = 56.1 %

S = 12.4 %

Process

1.- Look for the atomic masses of the elements

Al = 27 g

O = 16

S = 32

2.- Represent the percentages as grams

Al = 31.5 g

O = 56.1 g

S = 12.4 g

3.- Convert these masses to moles

                               27 g of Al ----------------- 1 mol

                               31.5 g ----------------------  x

                                x = 1.17 moles

                               16 g of O ----------------  1 mol

                               56.1 g of O -------------  x

                                  x = 3.5 mol

                               32 g of S ---------------  1 mol

                               12.4 g of S -------------   x

                                x = 0.39 moles

4.- Divide by the lowest number of moles

Al =   1.17 / 0.39  = 3

O =    3.5 / 0.39 = 8.9 ≈ 9

S  =   0.39 / 0.39 = 1

5.- Write the empirical equation

                                Al₃O₉S

Enlist the 2factors which are used in the formation of dry ice
SVETLANKA909090 [29]

Carbon dioxide is a gas at normal room temperature and atmospheric pressure. Carbon dioxide gas converts into solid carbon dioxide when frozen to a particular temperature with no intermediate liquid phase. This frozen or solidified carbon dioxide is called dry ice. Dry ice is formed when gaseous carbon dioxide is cooled to very low temperatures under high pressure. High pressure brings about condensation of the gas molecules and low temperature solidifies the carbon dioxide gas. Therefore, tow factors that help in formation of dry ice are low temperature and high pressure.
