Answer:

HgSO₄

Explanation:

% => g => moles => ratio => reduce => empirical ratio

%Hg = 67.6% => 67.6g/201g/mol = 0.34mol

%S = 10.8% => 10.8g/32g/mol = 0.34mol

%O = 21.6% => 21.6g/16g/mol = 1.35mol

Hg:S:O => 0.34:0.34:1.35

Reduce to whole number ratio by dividing by the smaller mole value...

Hg:S:O => 0.34/.34:0.34/.34:1.35/.34 => Empirical Ratio = 1:1:4

∴ Empirical Formula is HgSO₄

What is the density of lead (in g/cm^3 3 ) if a rectangular bar measuring 0.500 cm in height, 1.55 cm in width, and 25.00 cm in

Viktor [21]

Answer:

Density = 11.4 g/cm³

Explanation:

Given data:

Density of lead = ?

Height of lead bar = 0.500 cm

Width of lead bar = 1.55 cm

Length of lead bar = 25.00 cm

Mass of lead bar = 220.9 g

Solution:

Density = mass/ volume

Volume of bar = length × width × height

Volume of bar = 25.00 cm × 1.55 cm × 0.500 cm

Volume of bar = 19.4 cm³

Density of bar:

Density = 220.9 g/ 19.4 cm³

Density = 11.4 g/cm³

Isopropyl alcohol is mixed with water to produce a 32.0 % (v/v) alcohol solution. How many milliliters of each component are pre

Sonja [21]

Answer: The volume of isopropyl alcohol present is 254.4 mL and the volume of water present is 540.6 mL

Explanation:

We are given:

32.0 % (v/v) alcohol solution

This means that 32 mL of isopropyl alcohol is present in 100 mL of solution

Volume of water = 100 - 32 = 68 mL

Volume of solution given = 795 mL

Applying unitary method:

In 100 mL of solution, the volume of isopropyl alcohol present is 32 mL

So, in 795 mL of solution, the volume of isopropyl alcohol present will be = $\frac{32}{100}\times 795=254.4mL$

Volume of water in given amount of solution = 795 - 254.4 = 540.6 mL

Hence, the volume of isopropyl alcohol present is 254.4 mL and the volume of water present is 540.6 mL
