Calculate the empirical formula for a compound containing 67.6% Hg 10.8% S 21.6% O

Chemistry

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

How many liters of O₂ are needed to react completely with 10.0 L of H₂S at STP
sergiy2304 [10]

Ideal gas law is valid only for ideal gas not for vanderwaal gas. Therefore, 10L of  H₂S should react with 6.6L of oxygen at stanadard pressure and temperature.

<h3>What is ideal gas equation?</h3>

Ideal gas equation is the mathematical expression that relates pressure volume and temperature.

Mathematically the relation between Pressure, volume and temperature can be given as

P×V=n×R×T

where,

P = pressure of gas

V= volume of gas

n =number of moles of gas

T =temperature of gas

R = Gas constant = 0.0821 L.atm/K.mol

At Standard temperature and pressure, 2 moles of  H₂S react with 3 moles of 0₂. S0, 10L of H₂S should react with 0.66×10=6.6L of oxygen.

Therefore, 10L of H₂S should react with 6.6L of oxygen.

When the equation Al2(SO4)3 + NaOH + Al(OH)3 + Na2SO4 is correctly balanced, what is the coefficient of Al(OH)3?
nevsk [136]
The balanced chemical formula should be Al2(SO4)3 + 6NaOH = 2Al(OH)3 + 3Na2SO4

Therefore the coefficient of Al(OH)3 is 2!

Hope that helps :)

adelina 88 [10]
Could you please mark me as brainliest?

Answer: 160.40 g Fe2O3 are needed.

Explanation:

Balanced equation: 2 Al + Fe2O3 —> Al2O3 + 2Fe

54.2 g Al * 1 mol Al / 26.98 g Al * 1 mol Fe2O3 / 2 mol Al * 159.69 g Fe2O3 / 1 mol = 160.40 g Fe2O3 are needed.
