What is the chemical formula for 8.6 mol of sulfur and 3.42 mol of phosphorus

adell [148]

The chemical formula for the compound containing 8.6 mol of sulfur and 3.42 mol of phosphorus is P₂S₅

<h3>How do I determine the formula of the compound?</h3>

From the question given above, the following data were obatined:

Sulphur (S) = 8.6 moles
Phosphorus (P) = 3.42 mole
Chemical formula =?

The chemical formula of the compound can be obtained as follow:

Divide by their molar mass

S = 8.6 / 32 = 0.26875

P = 3.42 / 31 = 0.11032

Divide by the smallest

S = 0.26875 / 0.11032 = 2.44

P = 0.11032 / 0.11032 = 1

Multiply by 2 to express in whole number

S = 2.44 × 2 = 5

P = 1 × 2 = 2

Thus, the chemical formula is P₂S₅

What is the theoretical yield of Calcium if we begin with 12.6 grams of Aluminium?

AlladinOne [14]

The question is incomplete, here is the complete question:

The given chemical reaction is:

$2Al+3Cu(NO_3)_2\rightarrow 3Cu+2Al(NO_3)_3$

What is the theoretical yield of Calcium if we begin with 12.6 grams of Aluminium?

<u>Answer:</u> The theoretical yield of copper is 44.48 grams

<u>Explanation:</u>

To calculate the number of moles, we use the equation:

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

Given mass of aluminium = 12.6 g

Molar mass of aluminium = 27 g/mol

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$\text{Moles of aluminium}=\frac{12.6g}{27g/mol}=0.467mol$

The given chemical equation follows:

$2Al+3Cu(NO_3)_2\rightarrow 3Cu+2Al(NO_3)_3$

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

2 moles of aluminium produces 3 moles of copper

So, 0.467 moles of aluminium will produce = $\frac{3}{2}\times 0.467=0.7005mol$ of copper

Now, calculating the mass of copper from equation 1, we get:

Molar mass of copper = 63.5 g/mol

Moles of copper = 0.7005 moles

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$0.7005mol=\frac{\text{Mass of copper}}{63.5g/mol}\\\\\text{Mass of copper}=(0.7005mol\times 63.5g/mol)=44.48g$

Hence, the theoretical yield of copper is 44.48 grams

1. Make an observation : My toaster doesn't toast my bread

2. Ask a question : Why doesn't my toaster work?

3. Form a hypothesis : My coffeemaker works when plugged into the outlet

4. Make a prediction : If something is wrong with the outlet, then my coffeemaker also won't work when plugged into it

5. Conduct an experiment : I plug my coffeemaker into the outlet

6. Analyze the results : There is something wrong with the electrical outlet

Explanation:

The solution to the problem is as shown above.

A scientific method follow a methodical way of critically carrying out an inquiry into an observation.
Firstly, an observation is usually made with our senses. Here the researcher observes that the toaster does not toast his bread probably after a long wait.
He then proceeds to ask why the toaster does not work.
To investigate this, the forms a hypothesis. A hypothesis is a scientific guess. It is a tentative proposition about an investigation.
The researcher then makes a prediction about the outlet that might be faulty.
With this background, he goes on to carry out an experiment to substantiate his findings. This is seen when he plugs the coffeemaker into the outlet.
From the analysis of result, he sees that that something is wrong with the outlet.

an unknown amount of mercury (ii) oxide was decomposed in the lab. mercury metal was formed and 4.50 l of oxygen gas was release

Assoli18 [71]

The initial weight of mercury oxide in the sample was 59.1 g HgO.

<h3>Steps</h3>

chemical reaction

2HgO ⟶ 2Hg + O₂

the moles of O₂

pV = nRT

n = (pV)/(RT)

Data:

p = 0.970 atm

V = 4.50 L

R = 0.082 06 L·atm·K⁻¹mol⁻¹

T = 390.0 K

Calculation:

n = (0.970 × 4.500)/(0.082 06 × 390.0)

n = 0.1364 mol O₂

the moles of HgO

The molar ratio is 1 mol O₂/2 mol HgO.

Moles of HgO = 0.1364 mol O₂ × (2 mol Hg/1 mol O₂)

Moles of HgO = 0.2728 mol HgO

the mass of HgO

Mass of HgO = 0.2728 mol HgO × (216.59 g HgO/1 mol HgO)

Mass of HgO = 59.1 g HgO

For the creation of various organic mercury compounds and specific inorganic mercury salts, mercury(II) oxide, or HgO, serves as a source of elemental mercury.

This red or yellow crystalline substance is also utilised in mercury batteries and zinc-mercuric oxide electric cells as an electrode (combined with graphite).

<h3>What is the purpose of mercury oxide?</h3>

Mercuric oxide is a colourless, crystalline powder that ranges from yellow to orange-yellow.

It serves as a seed protectant, a pigment, a preservative, and an ingredient in alkaline batteries and cosmetics.

<h3>Is there a combination of mercury oxide?</h3>

The powder form of mercury oxide is dark black or dark brown.
An intimate blend of metallic mercury and mercuric oxide rather than a genuine compound.
