determing that the compoumd formed is in 100%

therefore, 26.1 +4.3+69.6 = 100%

hence no need of adding O molecule

finding the numbr of moles of each element

no. of moles of C= given mass÷molar mass

=26.1÷12

=2.1 mol

no. of moles of H = given mass÷molar mass

=4.3÷1

=4.3 mol

no of moles of O =given mass÷molar mass

=69.6÷16

=4.3

the simplest whole nber of the element in the unknown compoumd is 1:2:2 of C:H:O

HENCE, the empirical formula is CH2O2

empirical formula mass of CH2O2 IS

=(12)+(2×1)+(16×2)

12+2+32

46 G/MOL

N= molar mass of the compoumd ÷ emporical mass of the compoumd

N= 138÷46

N=3

molecular formula =N×empirical formula

=3 ×CH2O2

C3H6O6 is the molecular formula

(tartonic acid)

Element x reacts with oxygen to produce x2o3 in an experiment it is found that 1.0000 g of x produces 1.1xxx g of x2o3 what is t

8_murik_8 [283]

Since X is 1 g, therefore O must be 0.1 g. Therefore:

moles O = 0.1 g / (16 g / mol) = 0.00625 mol

We can see that for every 3 moles of O, there are 2 moles of X, therefore:

moles X = 0.00625 mol O (3 moles X / 2 moles O) = 0.009375 mol

Molar mass X = 1 g / 0.009375 mol

Molar mass X = 106.67 g/mol

A sample of nitrogen gas is at a temperature of 50 c and a pressure of 2 atm. If the volume of the sample remains constant and t

Lilit [14]

Answer:

The new temperature of the nitrogen gas is 516.8 K or 243.8 C.

Explanation:

Gay-Lussac's law indicates that, as long as the volume of the container containing the gas is constant, as the temperature increases, the gas molecules move faster. Then the number of collisions with the walls increases, that is, the pressure increases. That is, the pressure of the gas is directly proportional to its temperature.

Gay-Lussac's law can be expressed mathematically as follows:

$\frac{P}{T} =k$

Where P = pressure, T = temperature, K = Constant

You want to study two different states, an initial state and a final state. You have a gas that is at a pressure P1 and at a temperature T1 at the beginning of the experiment. By varying the temperature to a new value T2, then the pressure will change to P2, and the following will be fulfilled:

$\frac{P1}{T1} =\frac{P2}{T2}$
