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

Lynna [10]

Answer:

3.861x10⁻⁹ mol Pb⁺²

Explanation:

We can <u>define ppm as mg of Pb²⁺ per liter of water</u>.

We<u> calculate the mass of lead ion in 100 mL of water</u>:

  • 100.0 mL ⇒ 100.0 / 1000 = 0.100 L
  • 0.100 L * 0.0080 ppm = 8x10⁻⁴ mg Pb⁺²

Now we <u>convert mass of lead to moles</u>, using its molar mass:

  • 8x10⁻⁴ mg ⇒ 8x10⁻⁴ / 1000 = 8x10⁻⁷ g
  • 8x10⁻⁷ g Pb²⁺ ÷ 207.2 g/mol = 3.861x10⁻⁹ mol Pb⁺²

An 80.0g sample of an unknown metal is at an initial temperature of 55.5oC. Afer 540 J of energy is absorbed by the metal, the t
Lunna [17]

Answer:

Specific heat of metal = 0.26 j/g.°C

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of sample = 80.0 g

Initial temperature = 55.5 °C

Final temperature = 81.75 °C

Amount of heat absorbed = 540 j

Specific heat of metal = ?

Solution:

Specific heat capacity:

It is the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of one gram of substance by one degree.

Formula:

Q = m.c. ΔT

Q = amount of heat absorbed or released

m = mass of given substance

c = specific heat capacity of substance

ΔT = change in temperature

ΔT =  81.75 °C - 55.5 °C

ΔT =  26.25 °C

540 j = 80 g × c × 26.25 °C

540 j = 2100 g.°C× c

540 j / 2100 g.°C = c

c = 0.26 j/g.°C
