A compound that is composed of molybdenum (Mo) and oxygen (O) was produced in a lab by heating molybdenum over a Bunsen burner.

The following data was collected:
Mass of crucible: 38.26 g
Mass of crucible and molybdenum: 39.52 g
Mass of crucible and molybdenum oxide: 39.84 g

Solve for the empirical formula of the compound, showing your calculations.

First, we determine the mass of each element from the data collected. We can get the mass of molybdenum Mo from the difference between the mass of crucible and molybdenum and the mass of crucible:
     Mass of molybdenum = 39.52 – 38.26 = 1.26 g Mo

We can calculate for the mass of molybdenum oxide from the difference between the mass of crucible and molybdenum oxide and the mass of crucible:
     Mass of molybdenum oxide = 39.84 – 38.26 = 1.58g 

We can now compute for the mass of oxygen O by subtracting the mass of molybdenum from the mass of molybdenum oxide:
     Mass of oxygen in molybdenum oxide = 1.58 – 1.26 = 0.32g O

To convert mass to moles, we use the molar mass of each element.
     1.26 g Mo * 1 mol Mo / 95.94 g Mo = 0.0131 mol Mo
     0.32 g O * 1 mol O / 15.999 g O = 0.0200 mol O

0.0131 mol is the smallest number of moles. We divide each mole value by this number:
     0.0131 mol Mo / 0.0131 = 1
     0.0200 mol O / 0.0131 = 1.53

Multiplying these results by 2 to get the lowest whole number ratio,
     0.0131 mol Mo / 0.0131 = 1 * 2 = 2
     0.0200 mol O / 0.0131 = 1.5 * 2 = 3
Thus, we can write the empirical formula as Mo2O3.

Given,
Mass of Molybdenum = Mass of crucible and Molybdenum - Mass of crucible
                                    = 39.52gm - 38.26gm
                                    = 1.26 gm
Mass of Molybdenumoxide= Mass of crucible & Molybdenum oxide- mass of crucible
                                          = 39.84gm -38.26gm
                                          =1.58 gm

Mass of oxide = Mass of molybdenum oxide- Mass of molybdenum
                       = 1.58-1.26
                       = 0.32 gm
Now,

No. of moles of Molybdenum =  mass of molybdenum/ molecular mass of molybdenum
                                                = 1.26/96
                                                = 0.01 moles

Simillarly,
No. of moles of oxide =  0.32/16
                                   = 0.02 moles

Here, it is evident that moles of molybdenum and oxide is in 1:2 ratio.
Hence, the empirical formula would be : MoO2

Answer:

C10H22(l) + 31/2 O2 (g)-----> 10CO2(g) + 11H2O(l)

V= 70.4L of CO2

Explanation:

Equation of the reaction is:

C10H22(l) + 31/2 O2 (g)-----> 10CO2(g) + 11H2O(l)

Number of moles of decane = mass/ molar mass

Molar mass of decane= 122gmol-1

n= 0.370×10^3g/122gmol-1= 3.0 moles

T= 13°C +273=286K

P= 1atm

R= 0.082 atmLK-1mol-1

From :

PV= nRT

V= nRT/P

V= 3.0×0.082×286/1

V= 70.4L of CO2

A) what is hydrogen's carrying capacity? <br> b) what is lithium’s carrying capacity?
sladkih [1.3K]

Answer:

A)Hydrogen can be stored physically as either a gas or a liquid. Storage of hydrogen as a gas typically requires high-pressure tanks (350–700 bar [5,000–10,000 psi] tank pressure). Storage of hydrogen as a liquid requires cryogenic temperatures because the boiling point of hydrogen at one atmosphere pressure is −252.8°C.

B) carrying capacity of the lithium reserve will reach 10 million EV and 90 billion CE's RLBs for 50% recycling of lithium-containing waste, and 15 million EV and 150 billion CE's RLBs for 90% recycling.

You are performing an experiment that uses 114Ag. 113Ag is radioactive, decays by beta-- emission and has a half-life of 21 minu
maxonik [38]

Answer: The 234.74 grams of sample should be ordered.

Explanation:

Let the gram of  114 Ag to ordered be N_o

The amount required for the beginning of experiment = 0.0575 g

Time requires to ship the sample = 4.2hour = 252 min(1 hr = 60 min)

Half life of the sample ={t_{\frac{1}{2}} = 21 min

\lambda =\frac{0.693}{t_{\frac{1}{2}}}=\frac{0.693}{21 min}=0.033 min^{-1}

\log[N]=\log[N_o]-\frac{\lambda t}{2.303}

\log[0.0575 g]=\log[N_o]-\frac{0.033 min^{-1}\times 252 min}{2.303}

N_o=234.74 grams

The 234.74 grams of sample should be ordered.
