The mass of a sample of nickel (average atomic mass 58.69 u) is 11.74 g. How many atoms

Compound X has a molar mass of 416.48 g mol

bazaltina [42]

Answer:

P₂Cl₁₀

Explanation:

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

Molar mass of compound X = 416.48 g/mol

Percentage of phosphorus (P) = 14.87%

Percentage of Chlorine (Cl) = 85.13%

Molecular formula of X =?

Next, we shall determine the empirical formula of compound X. This can be obtained as follow:

P = 14.87%

Cl = 85.13%

Divide by their molar mass

P = 14.87 / 31 = 0.480

Cl = 85.13 / 35.5 = 2.398

Divide by the smallest

P = 0.480 / 0.480 = 1

Cl = 2.398 / 0.480 = 5

Empirical formula of compound X is PCl₅

Finally, we shall determine the molecular formula of compound X. This can be obtained as follow:

Molar mass of compound X = 416.48 g/mol

Empirical formula = PCl₅

Molecular formula =?

Molecular formula= [Empirical formula]ₙ

[PCl₅]ₙ = 416.48

[31 + (35.5 × 5)]ₙ = 416.48

[31 + 177.5]n = 416.48

208.5n = 416.48

Divide both side by 208.5

n = 416.48 / 208.5

n = 2

Molecular formula = [PCl₅]ₙ

Molecular formula = [PCl₅]₂

Molecular formula = P₂Cl₁₀

Therefore, the molecular formula of compound X is P₂Cl₁₀

Use the data set to answer the question.

andrezito [222]

Answer:

It is both accurate and precise.

Explanation:

Precision and accuracy are two different terms used to describe data or measurements. Accuracy refers to how close a set of measurements/experimental values is to an accepted or correct value while Precision refers to how close a series of experimental values are to one another.

In the given set of data in the question below, the Correct Value is 59.2 while the experimental values are as follows;

Trial 1: 58.7

Trial 2: 59.3

Trial 3: 60.0

Trial 4: 58.9

Trial 5: 59.2

Based on comparison, it can be observed that these experimental values are close to the correct value (59.2). Hence, they are said to be ACCURATE. Also, the experimental values are close to one another, hence, they are said to be PRECISE.

Therefore, the data set is both accurate and precise.

When 125 grams of FeO react with 25.0 grams of Al, how many grams of Fe can be produced? FeO + Al → Fe + Al2O3 25.9 g Fe 38.7 g

Serga [27]

Answer: The mass of iron produced will be 77.6 grams

Explanation:

To calculate the number of moles, we use the equation:

$\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}$ .....(1)

For FeO:

Given mass of FeO = 125 g

Molar mass of FeO = 71.8 g/mol

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$\text{Moles of FeO}=\frac{125g}{71.8g/mol}=1.74mol$

For aluminium:

Given mass of aluminium = 25.0 g

Molar mass of aluminium = 27 g/mol

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$\text{Moles of aluminium}=\frac{25.0g}{27g/mol}=0.93mol$

The given chemical reaction follows:

$3FeO+2Al\rightarrow 3Fe+Al_2O_3$

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

2 moles of aluminium metal reacts with 3 mole of FeO

So, 0.93 moles of aluminium metal will react with = $\frac{3}{2}\times 0.93=1.395mol$ of FeO

As, given amount of FeO is more than the required amount. So, it is considered as an excess reagent.

Thus, aluminium metal is considered as a limiting reagent because it limits the formation of product.

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

2 moles of aluminium metal produces 3 mole of iron metal

So, 0.93 moles of aluminium metal will produce = $\frac{3}{2}\times 0.93=1.395moles$ of iron metal

Now, calculating the mass of iron metal from equation 1, we get:

Molar mass of iron = 55.85 g/mol

Moles of iron = 1.395 moles

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$1.395mol=\frac{\text{Mass of iron}}{55.85g/mol}\\\\\text{Mass of iron}=(1.395mol\times 55.85g/mol)=77.6g$

Hence, the mass of iron produced will be 77.6 grams

What mass of sodium hydroxide is needed to neutralise 24.5kg of sulfuric acid H2SO4 + N2 = 2NH3

sveticcg [70]

Answer:

23.92 g

Explanation:

Molar mass of H2SO4 = (2×1)+32+(16×4)= 2+32+48= 82g/mol

H2SO4 + 2NaOH ---> Na2SO4 + 2H2O

I mole of H2SO4 = 2 moles of NaOH

24.5/82 = 24.5/82 × 2

= 0.598 moles of NaOH will neutralize

Mass= mole× molar mass

Molar mass of NaOH= 23+16+1 = 40g/mol

Mass= 0.598 × 40 = 23.92g of NaOH
