Answer:

  • Molar ratio = 1.5
  • Chemical formula = Fe₂S₃

Explanation:

First we convert <u>the given masses of each element into moles</u>, using <em>their respective molar masses</em>:

  • Fe ⇒ 11.26 g ÷ 55.845 g/mol = 0.202 mol Fe
  • S ⇒ 9.70 g ÷ 32.065 g/mol = 0.302 mol S

Now we <em>divide them</em> in order to <u>calculate the molar ratio of S to Fe</u>:

  • 0.302 / 0.202 = 1.5

Meaning that for each 1 Fe mol, there's 1.5 S moles. We can write that as Fe₁S₁.₅

Finally we <u>double those subscripts</u> so that <em>they become the lowest possible integers</em>: Fe₂S₃.

A steel cylinder of oxygen is being store in a room at 25.0 °C under a pressure of 1250 atm. What pressure would be exerted by t
Rudik [331]

Answer:

P₂ = 1312.88 atm

Explanation:

Given data:

Initial temperature = 25°C

Initial pressure = 1250 atm

Final temperature = 40°C

Final pressure = ?

Solution:

Initial temperature = 25°C (25+273.15 = 298.15 K)

Final temperature = 40°C ( 40+273.15 = 313.15 k)

The pressure of given amount of a gas is directly proportional to its temperature at constant volume and number of moles.

Mathematical relationship:

P₁/T₁ = P₂/T₂

Now we will put the values in formula:

1250 atm / 298.15 K = P₂/313.15 K

P₂ = 1250 atm × 313.15 K / 298.15 K

P₂ = 391437.5 atm. K /298.15 K

P₂ = 1312.88 atm

An explanation of what will happen every time in a specific situation
kramer
The one that is being described above is what we call SCIENTIFIC LAW. Scientific law is what explains of what will happen every time in a certain situation. This is also different from scientific theory since scientific theory only gives an explanation to a group of happenings and this can still be modified. Hope this helps.
