The empirical formula of the compound containing 0.64 g of copper, 0.32 g of sulphur and 0.64 g of oxygen is CuSO₄

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

Mass of Cu = 0.64 g

Mass S = 0.32 g

Mass of O = 0.64 g

<h3>Empirical formula =? </h3>

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

Cu = 0.64 g

S= 0.32 g

O = 0.64 g

Divide by their molar mass

Cu = 0.64 / 63.5 = 0.01

S= 0.32 / 32 = 0.01

O = 0.64 / 16 = 0.04

Divide by the smallest

Cu = 0.01 / 0.01 = 1

S= 0.01 / 0.01 = 1

O = 0.04 / 0.01 = 4

Therefore, the empirical formula of the compound is CuSO₄

Which would usually influence a reaction rate more? OH os O H&amp;S O Neither H nors
bagirrra123 [75]

Answer:

As the average kinetic energy increases, the particles move faster and collide more frequently per unit time and possess greater energy when they collide. Both of these factors increase the reaction rate. Hence the reaction rate of virtually all reactions increases with increasing temperature

Calculate the ratio of naf to hf required to create a buffer with ph = 4.05.
NARA [144]
PH is the test of acidity or basicity of a solution. it follows the formula: 
pH = pKa + log [salt] / [acid] where NaF is the salt and HF is the acid in this case. 

By literature, Ka of HF is 3.5*10^-4 
<span>pKa= -log(Ka)=</span><span> 3.46 </span>

<span>pH = pKa + log [NaF / [HF] </span>

4.05 = 3.46 + log [NaF / [HF] 

log [NaF / [HF]<span> = 0.59
</span>
[NaF / [HF] = 3.89
