Why did all sodium compounds show the same colour in the flame

1 answer:

Alinara [238K]3 years ago

All sodium compounds show the same coloured flame because sodium’s familiar bright orange-yellow flame colour results from promoted electrons falling back from the 3p1 level to their normal 3s1 level. The exact sizes of the possible jumps in energy terms vary from one metal to another.

A sample of calcium oxide (CaO) has a mass of 2.80 g. The molar mass of CaO is 56.08 g/mol. How many moles of CaO does this samp

Molodets [167]

Answer is "0.05 mol".

<em>Explanation;</em>

We can do calculation by using a simple formula as

n = m/M

Where, n is the number of moles of the substance (mol), m is the mass of the substance (g) and M is the molar mass of the substance (g/mol).

Here,

n = ?

m = 2.80 g

M = 56.08 g/mol

By substitution,

n = 2.80 g /56.08 g/mol

n = 0.0499 mol ≈ 0.05 mol

Determine the empirical formula of a compound containing 48.38 grams of carbon, 6.74 grams of hydrogen, and 53.5 grams of oxygen

Darya [45]

Answer: The empirical formula of the compound becomes $CH_2O$

<u>Explanation:</u>

The empirical formula is the chemical formula of the simplest ratio of the number of atoms of each element present in a compound.

We are given:

Mass of C = 48.38 g

Mass of H = 6.74 g

Mass of O = 53.5 g

The number of moles is defined as the ratio of the mass of a substance to its molar mass. The equation used is:

$\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}$ ......(1)

To formulate the empirical formula, we need to follow some steps:

<u>Step 1:</u> Converting the given masses into moles.

Molar mass of C = 12 g/mol

Molar mass of H = 1 g/mol

Molar mass of O = 16 g/mol

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$\text{Moles of C}=\frac{48.38g}{12g/mol}=3.023 mol$

$\text{Moles of H}=\frac{6.74g}{1g/mol}=6.74 mol$

$\text{Moles of O}=\frac{53.5g}{1g/mol}=3.34 mol$

<u>Step 2:</u> Calculating the mole ratio of the given elements.

Calculating the mole fraction of each element by dividing the calculated moles by the least calculated number of moles that is 3.023 moles

$\text{Mole fraction of C}=\frac{3.023}{3.023}=1$

$\text{Mole fraction of H}=\frac{6.74}{3.023}=2.23\approx 2$

$\text{Mole fraction of O}=\frac{3.34}{3.023}=1.105\approx 1$

<u>Step 3:</u> Taking the mole ratio as their subscripts.

The ratio of C : H : O = 1 : 2 : 1

Hence, the empirical formula of the compound becomes $CH_2O$
