Answer: 0.405g
Explanation:
Molar Mass of Be = 9g/mol
Number of mole of Be = 0.045mol
Mass conc. Of Be = 0.045 x 9 = 0.405g
Explanation:
2.658x 10 to the 23 power
Answer:
0.125 moles
Explanation:
2.8 litres is equivalent to 2.8dm³
At STP,
1 mole = 22.4 dm³
x mole = 2.8 dm³
Cross multiply
22.4x = 2.8
Divide both sides by 22.4
x = 2.8/22.4
x = 0.125
Answer:
The empirical formula is ZnO2
Explanation:
What is the empirical formula for a compound which contains 67.1% zinc and the rest is oxygen?
Step 1: Data given
Suppose the compound has a mass of 100.0 grams
A compound contains:
67.1 % Zinc = 67.1 grams
100 - 67.1 = 32.9 % oxygen = 32.9 grams
Molar mass of Zinc = 65.38 g/mol
Molar mass of O = 16 g/mol
Step 2: Calculate moles of Zinc
Suppose the compound is 100 grams
Moles Zn = 67. 10 grams / 65.38 g/mol
Moles Zn = 1.026 moles
Step 3: Calculate moles of O
Moles O = 32.90 grams / 16.00 g/mol
Moles O = 2.056 moles
Step 4: Calculate mol ratio
We divide by the smallest amount of moles
Zn: 1.026/1.026 = 1
O: 2.056/1.026 = 2
The empirical formula is ZnO2
To control this we can calculate the % Zinc for 1 mol
65.38 / (65.38+2*16) = 0.67.1 = 67.2 %
