Answer:

                      Empirical Formula  =  N₂H₈SO₄   Or    (NH₄)₂SO₄

Explanation:

Step 1: Calculate Moles of each Element;

                     Moles of N  =  %N ÷ At.Mass of N

                     Moles of N  = 21.20 ÷ 14.01

                     Moles of N  =  1.5132 mol

                     Moles of H  =  %H ÷ At.Mass of H

                     Moles of H  = 6.10 ÷ 1.01

                     Moles of H  =  6.0396 mol

                     Moles of S  =  %S ÷ At.Mass of S

                     Moles of S  = 24.20 ÷ 32.06

                     Moles of S  =  0.7548 mol

                     Moles of O  =  %O ÷ At.Mass of O

                     Moles of O  = 48.50 ÷ 16.0

                     Moles of O  =  3.0312 mol

Step 2: Find out mole ratio and simplify it;

               N                                        H                                     S

           1.5132                              6.0396                             0.7548

    1.5132/0.7548                  6.0396/0.7548                 0.7548/0.7548

              <u>2</u>                                        <u>8</u>                                       <u>1</u>

                                                    O

                                                  3.0312

                                           3.0312/0.7548

                                                     <u>4</u>

Result:

       Empirical Formula  =  N₂H₈SO₄   Or    (NH₄)₂SO₄

A sample that weighs 103.75 g is a mixture of 30% helium atoms and 70% krypton atoms. How many particles are present in the samp
aalyn [17]
1) we calculate the molar mass of He (helium) and Kr (Krypton).
atomic mass (He)=4 u
atomic mas (Kr)=83.8 u

Therefore the molar mass will be:
molar mass(He)=4 g/mol
molar mass(Kr)=83.8 g/mol.

1) We can find  the next equation:
mass=molar mass  x number of moles.

x=number of moles of helium
y=number of moles of helium. 

(4 g/mol) x  +(83.8 g/mol)y=103.75 g
Therefore, we have the next equation:

(1)

4x+83.8y=103.75


2) We can find other equation:

We have 30% helium atoms and 70% Kryptum atoms, therefore we have 30% Helium moles and 70% of Krypton moles.

1 mol  is always 6.022 * 10²³ atoms or molecules, (in this case atoms).

Then:
x=number of moles of helium
y=number of moles of helium.
(x+y)=number of moles of our sample.

x=30% of (x+y)

Therefore, we have this other equation:
(2)

x=0.3(x+y)


With the equations(1) and (2), we have the next system of equations:

4x+83.8y=103.75

x=0.3(x+y)  ⇒ x=0.3x+0.3y  ⇒    x-0.3x=0.3y  ⇒ 0.7 x=0.3y ⇒ x=0.3y/0.7
⇒x=3y/7

We solve this system of equations by substitution method.
x=3y/7

4(3y/7)+83.8y=103.75
lower common multiple)7
12y+586.6y=726.25
598.6y=726.25
y=1.21

x=3y/7=3(1.21)/7=0.52

We have 0.52 moles of  helium and 1.21 moles of Krypton.

1 mol=6.022 * 10²³ atoms

Total number of particles=(6.022 *10²³ atoms /1 mol) (number of moles of He+ number of moles of Kr).

Total number of particles=6.022 * 10²³ (0.52+1.21)=6.022 * 10²³ (1.73)=
=1.044 * 10²⁴ atoms.

Answer: The sample have 1.044 * 10²⁴ atoms.

space capsules operate with an oxygen content of about 34%. assuming a total pressure of 780 mm Hg in the space capsule, what is
Lemur [1.5K]

265.2 mmHg is the partial pressure of oxygen in 780 mmHg of total pressure.

Explanation:

The partial pressure of a gas is defined as the individual pressure of the gas in total mixture. In an ideal gas all the constituent gases have partial pressure some of which will give total pressure of the gas.

The partial pressure of a gas is calculated by

total pressure x mole fraction of the gas.

Mole fraction of the oxygen present is 0.34 as it is 34% of the total gas.

\frac{34}{100} = 0.34  is the mole fraction

Total pressure is given as 780 mm Hg

The partial pressure can be calculated using the above formula:

Putting the values in equation:

780 x 0.34

= 265.2 mm Hg is the partial pressure of oxygen.

Which of the following is a correctly written chemical equation that demonstrates the conservation of mass?
Fantom [35]

Answer:

Option D is correct.

H₂O + CO₂      →    H₂CO₃

Explanation:

First of all we will get to know what law of conservation of mass states.

According to this law, mass can neither be created nor destroyed in a chemical equation.

This law was given by French chemist  Antoine Lavoisier in 1789. According to this law mass of reactant and mass of product must be equal, because masses are not created or destroyed in a chemical reaction.

Example:

6CO₂ + 6H₂O + energy → C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂

there are six carbon atoms, eighteen oxygen atoms and twelve hydrogen atoms on the both side of equation so this reaction followed the law of conservation of mass.

Now we will apply this law to given chemical equations:

A) H₂ + O₂   →    H₂O

There are two hydrogen and two oxygen atoms present on left side while on right side only one oxygen and two hydrogen atoms are present so mass in not conserved. This equation not follow the law of conservation of mass.

B) Mg + HCl   →   H₂ + MgCl₂

In this equation one Mg, one H and one Cl atoms are present on left side while on right side two hydrogen, one Mg and two chlorine atoms are present. This equation also not follow the law of conservation of mass.

C) KClO₃      →     KCl + O₂

There are one K, one Cl and three O atoms are present on left side of chemical equation while on right side one K one Cl and two oxygen atoms are present. This equation also not following the law of conservation of mass.

D)  H₂O + CO₂      →    H₂CO₃

There are two hydrogen, one carbon and three oxygen atoms are present on both side of equation thus, mass remain conserved. Thus is correct option.
