3.5g of element A
4.0g of element G
Required
the empirical formula for this compound
Solution
The empirical formula is the smallest comparison of atoms of compound forming elements.
The empirical formula also shows the simplest mole ratio of the constituent elements of the compound
mol of element A :
mol of element G :
mol ratio A : G = 0.5 : 0.25 = 2 : 1
The correct answer is 12.2% BaO.
The solution is found by dividing the mass of the BaO, which is 25.8 grams, by the total mass of the solution, which is 212 grams, then multiplying it by 100 to get the percentage:
Answer:
0.74 grams of methane
Explanation:
The balanced equation of the combustion reaction of methane with oxygen is:
it is clear that 1 mol of CH₄ reacts with 2 mol of O₂.
firstly, we need to calculate the number of moles of both
for CH₄:
number of moles = mass / molar mass = (3.00 g) / (16.00 g/mol) = 0.1875 mol.
for O₂:
number of moles = mass / molar mass = (9.00 g) / (32.00 g/mol) = 0.2812 mol.
- it is clear that O₂ is the limiting reactant and methane will leftover.
using cross multiplication
1 mol of CH₄ needs → 2 mol of O₂
??? mol of CH₄ needs → 0.2812 mol of O₂
∴ the number of mol of CH₄ needed = (0.2812 * 1) / 2 = 0.1406 mol
so 0.14 mol will react and the remaining CH₄
mol of CH₄ left over = 0.1875 -0.1406 = 0.0469 mol
now we convert moles into grams
mass of CH₄ left over = no. of mol of CH₄ left over * molar mass
= 0.0469 mol * 16 g/mol = 0.7504 g
So, the right choice is 0.74 grams of methane
The tool to measure the liquid is a measuring cylinder.
