Answer:

A molecular compound is usually composed of two or more nonmetal elements. Molecular compounds are named with the first element first and then the second element by using the stem of the element name plus the suffix -ide.

To calculate the mass of Fe formed in a) we get first the limiting reactant between Fe2O3 and CO. Given the masses, the ratio of Fe2O3 is 1.33 while that of CO is 1.67. Hence the limiting reagent is Fe2O3. The mass of Fe formed is 148.98 grams. In b, the needed CO is only 112.04 grams. Hence, the excess is 27. 96 grams.

A compound has the formula X2O3 where x is an unknown element. If the compound is 24.26% oxygen, what element does x represent?

Vinil7 [7]

<h3>Answer:</h3>

Element X is Arsenic (Ar)

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

We are given the compound X₂O₃

The compound is 24.26% Oxygen

We are required to identify element X

<h3>Step 1: Determine the mass of Oxygen in the compound </h3>

Atomic mass of Oxygen is 16.0 g

There are three oxygen atoms in the compound

Therefore;

Mass of oxygen in the compound = 3 × 16

= 48 g

<h3>Step 2: Total mass of the compound </h3>

Total percentage = 100%

But, Oxygen in the compound is 24.26 % and has a mass of 48 g

Therefore;

Mass of the compound = (48 g ÷ 24.26 ) × 100

= 197.857 g

<h3>Step 3 mass of X in the compound </h3>

Since we know the mass of oxygen in the compound and the mass of the compound we can determine the mass of X

Mass of X in the compound = Mass of the compound - Mass of Oxygen in the compound

= 197.857 g - 48 g

= 149.857 g

But there are two atoms of X in the compound.

Therefore, molar mass of X = 149.857 g ÷ 2

= 74.929 g

<h3>Step 4: Identity of element X</h3>

We then we need to identify the element with a molar mass of 74.929 g

Therefore, the element represented above is Arsenic which has an atomic mass of 74.92.

Thus, our compound is Ar₂O₃

The density of an unknown gas is 4. 20 grams per liter at 3. 00 atmospheres pressure and 127 °c. what is the molecular weight of

Kryger [21]

The molecular weight of this gas will be 45 g/mol .

The state equilibrium equation for a fictitious perfect gas is known as the ideal gas law, sometimes known as the generic gas equation. Although it has significant drawbacks, it represents a decent approximation of the activity of many gases under various conditions.

Ideal gas law can be expressed as:

PV =nRT

Calculation of molecular weight by using ideal as law.

Given data:

P = 3 atm

T = 127 °c

Density = 4. 20 grams per liter

PV =nRT

where p is pressure , T is temperature and R is gas constant.

PV = gram / molecular weight RT

Molecular weight = (g/v)( 1/P) RT

Putting the given data in above equation.

Molecular weight =4.20 × 1/ 3× 400 × 0.0831

Molecular weight = 45 g/mol.
