Measurements show that unknown compound X has the following composition: element mass % chromium 68.4% oxygen 31.5% Write the empirical chemical formula of X.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer: The empirical formula of X  is [tex]Cr_2O_3[/tex]

Explanation:

If percentage are given then we are taking total mass is 100 grams.

So, the mass of each element is equal to the percentage given.

Mass of Cr = 68.4 g

Mass of O = 31.5 g

Step 1 : convert given masses into moles.

Moles of Cr =[tex]\frac{\text{ given mass of Cr}}{\text{ molar mass of Cr}}= \frac{68.4g}{52g/mole}=1.31moles[/tex]

Moles of O =[tex]\frac{\text{ given mass of O}}{\text{ molar mass of O}}= \frac{31.5g}{16g/mole}=1.97moles[/tex]

Step 2 : For the mole ratio, divide each value of moles by the smallest number of moles calculated.

For Cr = [tex]\frac{1.31}{1.31}=1[/tex]

For O = [tex]\frac{1.97}{1.31}=1.5[/tex]

The simple whole number ratio of Cr : O= 2: 3

Hence the empirical formula is [tex]Cr_2O_3[/tex]

Which of the following best describes a galvanic cell?
A. Abattery that requires energy to charge it
B. A battery containing an acid and a base
C. A battery containing a spontaneous redox reaction
D. A battery containing a nonspontaneous reaction

Answers

Answer:

Your answer is C

Explanation:

The option that best describes a galvanic cell is that a battery containing a spontaneous redox reaction. That is option C.

A Galvanic cell is simply defined as an electrochemical cell that uses the movement of electrons in a reduction-oxidation reaction to produce electrical energy for use.

A Galvanic cell is a battery and is made up of a conducting electrolyte solution and two halve cells which include:

one half-cell of metal A(anode) electrode andone half-cell of metal B(cathode) electrode.

In the galvanic cell a spontaneous redox reaction occurs which involves the transfer of electrons from anode to cathode with the release of energy.

Therefore, the option that best describes a galvanic cell is that it is a battery containing a spontaneous redox reaction.

the number of neutrons in above isotope = A - Z = 27 - 13 = 14. Note: The molar mass of aluminium, which is average of atomic masses of all isotopes = 26.981538 g/mol, since 13Al27 is the major isotope.

Explanation:

   

Answer:

Aluminum

Explanation

mass number = number of protons + number of neutrons

Number of protons = mass number - number of neutrons

No of protons = 27-14 = 13

Aluminum contains 13 protons

Balance the chemical equation below using the smallest possible whole number stoichiometric coefficients. FE2O3(s) Fe(s) O2(g)

Answers

Answer:

2Fe₂O₃(s) → 4Fe(s) + 3O₂(g)

Explanation:

The unbalanced reaction is:

Fe₂O₃(s) → Fe(s) + O₂(g)

To balance the oxygen atoms, we put a 2 before Fe₂O₃ and a 3 before O₂(g) - so as to make the total of O atoms in both sides 6 -:

2Fe₂O₃(s) → Fe(s) + 3O₂(g)

There are four Fe atoms on the left side and only one on the right side, so we put a 4 before Fe(s):

2Fe₂O₃(s) → 4Fe(s) + 3O₂(g)

Now the equation is balanced: there is an equal number of both Fe and O atoms in both sides of the equation.

3. What do you notice about the temperature of the substance in the test tube after it is placed in the beaker of water?
A)The temperature of the substance remains the same as it sits in the beaker of water.
B) The temperature of the substance decreases as it sits in the beaker of water.
C) The temperature of the substance increases as it sits in the beaker of water.

Answers

Answer:

C: The temperature of the substance increases as it sits in the beaker of water

Explanation:

This question was taken from a video where an attempt was made to investigate the changes in temperature when a substance undergoes change from it's solid phase to its liquid phase.

To do this, as seen in the video online, it shows a solid substance in a test tube being placed in a beaker of water.

From observation, the water in the beaker has a warmer temperature than the solid substance present in the test tube and this in turn makes the test tube gradually increase in temperature.

Thus, the solid substance will as well increase increase in temperature when it is placed in the beaker of water.

The gas in the discharge cell of a laser contains (in mole percent) 11% CO2, 5.3% N2, and 84% He. (a) What is the molar mass of this mixture

Answers

Answer:

[tex]MM_{mixture}=9.68g/mol[/tex]

Explanation:

Hello!

In this case, since the molar mass of gaseous mixtures can be determined via a weighted average containing the molar mass of each gas and the mole fraction (mole percent divided by 100) as shown below:

[tex]MM_{mixture}=x_{CO_2}M_{CO_2}+x_{N_2}M_{N_2}+x_{He}M_{He}[/tex]

Now, we plug in to obtain:

[tex]MM_{mixture}=0.11*44g/mol+0.053*28+0.84*4\\\\MM_{mixture}=9.68g/mol[/tex]

A compound is found to contain 25.24 % sulfur and 74.76 % fluorine by weight. To answer the questions, enter the elements in the order presented above. 1. What is the empirical formula for this compound

Answers

Answer:

[tex]SF_5[/tex]

Explanation:

Hello!

In this case, when determining empirical formulas by knowing the by-mass percent, we can first assume we have 25.24 g of sulfur and 74.76 g of fluorine, so we compute the moles:

[tex]n_S=25.24g*\frac{1mol}{32.07g} =0.787mol\\\\n_F=74.76g*\frac{1mol}{19.00g}= 3.935mol[/tex]

Now, we divide the moles of both S and F by the fewest moles, in this case, those of S in order to determine the subscripts in the empirical formula:

[tex]S=\frac{0.787}{0.797}=1 \\\\F=\frac{3.935}{0.797}=5[/tex]

Therefore, the empirical formula is:

[tex]SF_5[/tex]

A local FM radio station broadcasts at an energy of 6.04E-29 kJ/photon. Calculate the frequency at which it is broadcasting.

Answers

Answer:

9.11×10⁷ Hz

Explanation:

From the question given above the following data were obtained:

Energy (E) = 6.04×10¯²⁹ KJ

Frequency (f) =?

Next, we shall convert 6.04×10¯²⁹ KJ to joule (J). This can be obtained as follow:

1 KJ = 1000 J

Therefore,

6.04×10¯²⁹ KJ = 6.04×10¯²⁹ KJ × 1000 J / 1 KJ

6.04×10¯²⁹ KJ = 6.04×10¯²⁶ J

Thus, 6.04×10¯²⁹ KJ is equivalent to 6.04×10¯²⁶ J.

Finally, we shall determine the frequency at which the FM radio station is broadcasting as follow:

Energy (E) = 6.04×10¯²⁶ J

Planck's constant (h) = 6.63×10¯³⁴ Js

Frequency (f) =?

E = hf

6.04×10¯²⁶ = 6.63×10¯³⁴ × f

Divide both side by 6.63×10¯³⁴

f = 6.04×10¯²⁶ / 6.63×10¯³⁴

f = 9.11×10⁷ Hz

Therefore, the frequency at which the FM radio station is broadcasting is 9.11×10⁷ Hz

Describe the process of freezing ice cream in terms of heat flow.

Answers

Answer:

Freezing the mix is one of the most important operations in making ice cream, for upon it depend the quality, palatability, and yield of the finished product. Typically, freezing of ice cream is accomplished in two steps: (1) dynamic freezing, where the mix is frozen quickly while being agitated to incorporate air and to limit the size of ice crystals formed; and (2) static freezing, where the partially frozen product is hardened without agitation in a special low-temperature environment designed to remove heat rapidly. Although these steps primarily encompass freezing, or the formation of ice crystals, there are several other important processes that take place during this time that significantly impact the quality of ice cream. Both the dispersion of air bubbles and rearrangement of fat globules occur during the freezing steps.
