When an electron drops from one level to a lower energy level, it emits a quantum of energy. The different mix of energy differences for each atom produces different colours. Each metal gives a characteristic flame emission spectrum.

Iron has a density of 7.86 g/cm3. Calculate the volume (in dL) of a piece of iron having a mass of 4.07 kg . Note that the densi
elena-s [515]

Answer:

The volume of the piece of iron is 5.18dL.

Explanation:

The density (ρ) is equal to the mass (m) divided the volume (V).

\rho = \frac{m}{V}

If we rearrange it, we have:

V=\frac{m}{\rho }

To express the volume in dL we will need the following relations:

  • 1 dL = 0.1 L
  • 1 kg = 10³ g
  • 1 cm³ = 1 mL
  • 1mL = 10⁻³L

Then,

\rho = \frac{7.86g}{cm^{3} } .\frac{1cm^{3} }{1mL} .\frac{1mL}{10^{-3}L } .\frac{1kg}{10^{3}g } =7.86kg/L

Finally,

V=\frac{m}{\rho }=\frac{4.07kg}{7.86 kg/L} =0.518L.\frac{1dL}{0.1L} =5.18dL

A compound is 54.53% c, 9.15% h, and 36.32% o by mass. what is its empirical formula? the molecular mass of the compound is 132
Yakvenalex [24]
 <span>First - you need the empirical formula. 

So, assume you have 100 g of the compound. 

If so, you'll have 54.53 gram of C, 9.15 g of H and 36.32 g of O. Find the number of moles of each. 

54.53 g C (1 mole C / 12.01 g C) = 4.540 

9.15 g H (1 mole H / 1.008 g H) = 9.077 

36.32 g O (1 mole O / 15.9994 g O) = 2.270 

Take the smallest number found and divide the others by it to get the empirical formula. 

4.540/2.270 = 2. 
9.077/2.270 = 4. 
2.270/2.270 =1. 

So, that gives you the empirical formula of C2H4O. 

Find the weight of this compound. C = 12, H = 1, O = 16. So, C2H4O is 44 amu. 

132/44 = 3. 

So, 3 (C2 H4 O) = C6H12O3 = molecular formula.</span>
