Answer:

Chemical formula is CoCl. 3H₂O

Explanation:

Data Given

Percentage of water = 45.43%

Percentage of CoCl. = 54.57%

Chemical Formula of the hydrates = ?

Solution:

First, find the mass of each of the part ( CoCl and water) in 100 g of the Compound.

Mass of CoCl = 28 + 35.5

Mass of CoCl = 63.5

Mass of H₂O = 18 g

Now find how many moles are there for each element in 100 g of compound

So,

The percentage will be count in grams for 100g in compound

Find the moles in total compounds

Formula Used for CoCl

mole of CoCl = mass of CoCl / Molar mass of CoCl

mole of CoCl = mole of 54.57 g / 63.5 g/mol

mole of CoCl = 0.859

Formula Used for H₂O

mole of H₂O = mass of H₂O/ Molar mass ofH₂O

mole of H₂O = 45.43 g / 18 g/mol

mole of H₂O = 2.539

Now

To find the Chemical formula

Divide each one by the smallest number of moles

CoCl = 0.859 / 0.859

CoCl = 1

For H₂O

H₂O = 2.539 / 0.859

H₂O = 3

Multiply the mole fraction to a number to get the whole number.

CoCl = 1

H₂O = 3

So,

The Chemical formula is CoCl. 3H₂O

Given the following balanced equation, if the rate of O2 loss is 3.64 × 10-3 M/s, what is the rate of formation of SO3? 2 SO2(g)

Fynjy0 [20]

Answer:

Rate of formation of SO₃ $[\frac{d[SO_{3}] }{dt}]$ = 7.28 x 10⁻³ M/s

Explanation:

According to equation 2 SO₂(g) + O₂(g) → 2 SO₃(g)

Rate of disappearance of reactants = rate of appearance of products

⇒ $-\frac{1}{2} \frac{d[SO_{2} ]}{dt} = -\frac{d[O_{2} ]}{dt}=\frac{1}{2} \frac{d[SO_{3} ]}{dt}$ -----------------------------(1)

Given that the rate of disappearance of oxygen = $-\frac{d[O_{2} ]}{dt}$ = 3.64 x 10⁻³ M/s

So the rate of formation of SO₃ $[\frac{d[SO_{3}] }{dt}]$ = ?

from equation (1) we can write

$\frac{d[SO_{3}] }{dt} = 2 [-\frac{d[O_{2}] }{dt} ]$

⇒ $\frac{d[SO_{3}] }{dt}$ = 2 x 3.64 x 10⁻³ M/s

⇒ $[\frac{d[SO_{3}] }{dt}]$ = 7.28 x 10⁻³ M/s

∴ So the rate of formation of SO₃ $[\frac{d[SO_{3}] }{dt}]$ = 7.28 x 10⁻³ M/s

Una muestra de 1 gramo de un elemento contiene 1,5 x 1022 atomos, cual es su masa molar❓❓

marusya05 [52]

El número de Avogadro es 6,022 x 10^23, y es el número de átomos que hay en un mol de dicho elemento. A su vez un mol es la cantidad de un elemento cuya masa en gramos coincide con el peso atómico.

Por tanto, 6,022 x 10^23 átomos del elemento tienen una masa en gramos igual a su peso atómico. Hacemos una regla de tres:

1 gramo -------- 1,5 x 10^22 átomos

x ------------------ 6,022 x 10^23 átomos

=> x = 40,1 gramos por mol del elemento.

De modo que su peso atómico es 40,1. Se trata del calcio.

Saludos.
