Answer:

CaN_{2} O_{6}

Explanation:

When calculating an empirical formula from percentages, assume you have a 100g sample. This allows you to convert the percentages directly to grams, because X % of 100g is X grams.

So:

24.42 % = 24.42 g Ca, 17.07% = 17.07g N, 58.5% = 58.5g O

The next step is to divide each mass by their molar mass to convert your grams to moles.

24.42/40.08 = 0.6092 mol

17.07/14.01 = 1.218 mol

58.85/15.99 = 3.680 mol

Then you will divide all of your mol values by the SMALLEST number of moles. This gives you whole numbers that are the mole ratio (subcripts) of the empircal formula.

0.6092 mol/0.6092 mol = 1

1.218 mol/0.6092 mol = 2

3.680 mol/0.6092 mol = 6

So the empirical formula is CaN_{2} O_{6}

If you have 1.29 moles of NaCl in 4 liters of solution, what is the molarity of the solution?
Illusion [34]

Answer:

0.32M

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Number of moles of NaCl  = 1.29moles

Volume of solution = 4liters  = 4dm³

Unknown:

Molarity of solution = ?

Solution:

Molarity is one the ways of expressing the concentration of a solute in a solution. It is given as;

         Molarity  = \frac{number of moles }{volume}

The unit is given as M which is mol/dm³

    Input the parameters and solve;

           Molarity  = \frac{1.29}{4}    = 0.32mol/dm³ or 0.32M

Pablo's experiments confirm the relationship between pressure and the number of gas molecules. as the pressure in a system incre
horrorfan [7]
The correct answer is:  [C]:  
___________________________________________________________
          "<span>pressure and the number of gas molecules are directly related."
___________________________________________________________
<u>Note</u>:  The conclusion was: "</span> as the pressure in a system increases, the number of gas molecules increases" — over the course of many trials.
          This means that the "pressure" and the "number of gas molecules" are directly related.

Furthermore, this conclusion is consistent with the "ideal gas law" equation:

     " PV = nRT " ; 
____________________________________________________________
in which:

    "P = Pressure" ; 
    "n = number of gas molecules" ; 
___________________________________________________________
        All other factors held equal, when "n" (the "number of gas molecules") 
 increases in value (on the "right-hand side" of the equation), the value for "P" (the "pressure" — on the "left-hand side" of the equation), increases.

Calculate the molar solubility of CaF2 in a 0.25 m solution of NaF(aq).
Kipish [7]

Answer:

6.4 × 10^-10 M

Explanation:

The molar solubility of the ions in a compound can be calculated from the Ksp (solubility constant).

CaF2 will dissociate as follows:

CaF2 ⇌Ca2+ + 2F-

1 mole of Calcium ion (x)

2 moles of fluorine ion (2x)

NaF will also dissociate as follows:

NaF ⇌ Na+ + F-

Where Na+ = 0.25M

F- = 0.25M

The total concentration of fluoride ion in the solution is (2x + 0.25M), however, due to common ion effect i.e. 2x<0.25, 2x can be neglected. This means that concentration of fluoride ion will be 0.25M

Ksp = {Ca2+}{F-}^2

Ksp = {x}{0.25}^2

4.0 × 10^-11 = 0.25^2 × x

4.0 × 10^-11 = 0.0625x

x = 4.0 × 10^-11 ÷ 6.25 × 10^-2

x = 4/6.25 × 10^ (-11+2)

x = 0.64 × 10^-9

x = 6.4 × 10^-10

Therefore, the molar solubility of CaF2 in NaF solution is 6.4 × 10^-10M
