Difference between emprical and molecular formula

Chemistry
1 answer:
Musya8 [376]2 years ago
3 0

Answer:

The key difference between empirical and molecular formulas is that an empirical formula only gives the simplest ratio of atom whereas a molecular formula gives the exact number of each atom in a molecule.

A sample of cacl2⋅2h2o/k2c2o4⋅h2o solid salt mixture is dissolved in ~150 ml de-ionized h2o. the oven dried precipitate has a ma
Paraphin [41]

We are given that the balanced chemical reaction is:

cacl2⋅2h2o(aq) + k2c2o4⋅h2o(aq) ---> cac2o4⋅h2o(s) + 2kcl(aq) + 2h2o(l)

We known that the product was oven dried, therefore the mass of 0.333 g pertains only to that of the substance cac2o4⋅h2o(s). So what we will do first is to convert this into moles by dividing the mass with the molar mass. The molar mass of cac2o4⋅h2o(s) is molar mass of cac2o4 plus the molar mass of h2o.

molar mass cac2o4⋅h2o(s) = 128.10 + 18 = 146.10 g /mole

moles cac2o4⋅h2o(s) = 0.333 / 146.10 = 2.28 x 10^-3 moles

Looking at the balanced chemical reaction, the ratio of cac2o4⋅h2o(s) and k2c2o4⋅h2o(aq) is 1:1, therefore:

moles k2c2o4⋅h2o(aq) = 2.28 x 10^-3 moles

Converting this to mass:

mass k2c2o4⋅h2o(aq) = 2.28 x 10^-3 moles (184.24 g /mol) = 0.419931006 g

 

Therefore:

The mass of k2c2o4⋅<span>h2o(aq) in the salt mixture is about 0.420 g</span>

The distance between the nuclei of two iron atoms is about 4 angstroms.a. Trueb. False
vladimir2022 [97]

Answer:

The correct option is b. false

Explanation:

The distance between the nucleus of an atom and it's outermost shell is called is atomic radius. The atomic radius of an Iron atom (Fe) is 0.126 nm or 1.26 angstrom. The distance between the nuclei of two Iron atoms will be 1.26 × 2 = 2.52 angstroms.

Since 2.52 angstroms is lower than 4 angstroms, the correct option is false

Look at the dots around each symbol and the energy levels from the resources above;
Anton [14]

Hello! Here's the answer I was able to come up with:

<em>Why does Na have only one dot?</em>

Sodium, or Na, has only one valence electron.  (This makes the atom tend to participate in ionic bonding and "give" its single valence electron to an atom like chlorine.)

<em>Why do none of these diagrams show more than 8 dots?</em>

It is physically impossible for an atom to have more than 8 electrons in its valence layer, according to the Octet Rule.

<em>What relationship do you notice between the dots in these two charts?</em>

The dot diagram for each element represents the number of electrons each element will have in its outermost, or valence, shell. (2-8-8)

<em>The number of dots that hydrogen and helium have in their dot diagram is the same as the number of electrons shown for them on the Periodic Table. Why?</em>

An atom can have a maximum of two electrons in its innermost layer. Hydrogen and helium have only one and two electrons, respectively, so they don't have enough electrons to actually have more than one layer. Therefore, their outermost layer is, in fact, their only layer. This is why the number of dots that hydrogen and helium have in their dot diagram is the same as the number of electrons shown for them on the Periodic Table.

Don't copy this word for word! You will most likely be in trouble for plagiarism.  Instead, rewrite these ideas in your own words, or paraphrase. Good luck, and I know you can do it! ♥

A 25.0 ml sample of 0.723 m hclo4 is titrated with a 0.27303 m koh solution. the h3o+ concentration after the addition of 66.2 m
tia_tia [17]
This doesn't need an ICE chart. Both will fully dissociate in water.

Assume HClO4 and KOH reacts with one another. All you need to do is determine how much HClO4 will remain after the reaction. Calculate pH.

Step 1:

write out balanced equation for the reaction

HClO4+KOH ⇔ KClO4 + H2O

the ratio of HClO4 to KOH is going to be 1:1. Each mole of KOH we add will fully react with 1 mole of HClO4

Step 2:

Determining the number of moles present in HClO4 and KOH

Use the molar concentration and the volume for each:
25 mL of 0.723 M HClO4

Covert volume from mL into L:
25 mL * 1L/1000mL = 0.025 L

Remember:

M = moles/L so we have 0.025 L of 0.723 moles/L HClO4

Multiply the volume in L by the molar concentration to get:

0.025L x 0.723mol/L = 0.0181 moles HClO4.

Add 66.2 mL KOH with conc.=0.273M
66.2mL*1L/1000mL = .0662 L
.0662L x 0.273mol/L = 0.0181 moles KOH

Step 3:

Determine how much HClO4 remains after reacting with the KOH.

Since both reactants fully dissociate and are used in a 1:1 ratio, we just subtract the number of moles of KOH from the number of moles of HClO4:

moles HClO4 = 0.0181; moles KOH = 0.0181, so 0.0181-0.0181 = 0

This means all of the HClO4 is used up in the reaction.

If all of the acid is fully reacted with the base, the pH will be neutral = 7.

Determine the H3O+ concentration:

pH = -log[H3O+]; [H3O+] = 10-pH = 10-7

The correct answer is 1.0x10-7.
