Answer:

$Sn_2O$

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, given the mass of the sample and mass of tin we can compute the mass of oxygen via:

$m_O=0.534g-0.500g=0.034g$

Thus, by using the atomic bas of tin and oxygen we can compute their moles:

$n_{Sn}=0.500gSn*\frac{1molSn}{118.8gSn} =0.00421mol\\\\n_O=0.034gO*\frac{1molO}{16gO}=0.002125mol$

Next, we need to divide both moles by the moles of oxygen as those are the smallest in order to compute the subscript in the chemical reaction:

$Sn=\frac{0.00421}{0.002125}=2\\ \\O=\frac{0.002125}{0.002125}= 1$

Therefore, empirical formula of the oxide should be:

$Sn_2O$

Best regards.

During this reaction, p4 + 5o2 → p4o10, 0.800 moles of product was made in 15.0 seconds. what is the rate of reaction? 56.8 g/mi

Eduardwww [97]

The solution for this problem would be:
The mass of P4O10 is computed by: 0.800 mol x 284 g/mol = 227g t = 15.0 s ( 1 min / 60 s) = 0.25 min
So solving for the rate will be mass over t = m/t = 227/0.25 = 908 g/min would be the answer for this problem.

The density of o2 gas at 16 degrees Celsius and 1.27atm is?

velikii [3]

Answer:

The density of O₂ gas is 1.71 $\frac{g}{L}$

Explanation:

Density is a quantity that allows you to measure the amount of mass in a given volume of a substance. So density is defined as the quotient between the mass of a body and the volume it occupies:

$density=\frac{mass}{volume}$

An ideal gas is characterized by three state variables: absolute pressure (P), volume (V), and absolute temperature (T). The relationship between them constitutes the ideal gas law, an equation that relates the three variables if the amount of substance, number of moles n, remains constant and where R is the molar constant of the gases:

P * V = n * R * T

So, you can get:

$\frac{n}{V} =\frac{P}{R*T}$

The relationship between number of moles and mass is:

$n=\frac{mass}{molar mass}$

Replacing:

$\frac{\frac{mass}{molar mass} }{V} =\frac{P}{R*T}$

$\frac{mass}{V*Molar mass} =\frac{P}{R*T}$

So:

$\frac{mass}{V} =\frac{P*molar mass}{R*T}$

Knowing that 1 mol of O has 16 g, the molar mass of O₂ gas is 32 $\frac{g}{mol}$ .

Then:

$\frac{mass}{V} =\frac{P*molar mass of O_{2} }{R*T}$

In this case you know:

P=1.27 atm
molar mass of O₂= 32 $\frac{g}{mol}$ .

R= 0.0821 $\frac{atm*L}{mol*K}$

T= 16 °C= 289 °K (0°C= 273°K)

Replacing:

$density=\frac{mass}{V} =\frac{1.27atm*32\frac{g}{mol} }{0.0821\frac{atm*L}{mol*K} *289 K}$

Solving:

density= 1.71 $\frac{g}{L}$

The density of O₂ gas is 1.71 $\frac{g}{L}$

The tiara worn by Kate Middleton for her wedding to Prince William of England contains 888 diamonds and belongs to the British m

allsm [11]

Answer:

The number of atoms in the gemstones of that tiara is $8.9125\times 10^{24} atoms$ .

Explanation:

Number of diamonds ion tiara = 888

Mass of each diamond = 1.0 carat = 0.200 g (given)

Mass of 888 diamonds in tiara:

$888\times 0.200 g=177.600 g$

Given that diamond is a form of carbon.

Atomic mass of carbon atom = 12 g/mol

Moles of 77.600 g of carbon = $\frac{177.600 g}{12 g/mol}=14.800 mol$

Number of atoms of carbon 14.800 moles:

$14.800 mol\times 6.022\times 10^{23} atoms =8.9125\times 10^{24} atoms$

The number of atoms in the gemstones of that tiara is $8.9125\times 10^{24} atoms$ .

Soda drinks bubble when the bottle is opened because:

mihalych1998 [28]

Answer:

(3) the partial pressure of carbon dioxide above the solution is reduced.

Explanation:

We know , Soda water contains pressured carbon dioxide pressured with cap because we know according to Henry's law partial pressure of the gas is directly proportional to pressure applied. Therefore, $CO_2$ is pressurized in the bottle.

But as we open the bottle the pressure decreases the excess $CO_2$ (and air) escapes producing effervescence and partial pressure of $CO_2$ decreases. ( Because of Henry's Law)

Hence, it is the required solution.
