Answer: 16g/mol; O2

Explanation:

The gas has a volume of 2.5L at STP, so the number of moles can be determined as follows.

n=2.5L×1mol/22.4L=0.1116mol

The mass is given to be 3.571g. The molar mass of the unknown gas can be determined by dividing grams by moles.

3.571g/0.1116mol=32.00g/mol

The gas is a homonuclear diatomic gas, so the gas must contain two atoms with a molar mass of 32g/mol/2=16g/mol. This is the molar mass of the element oxygen, so the gas is diatomic oxygen, O2.

Find the empirical formula of each of the following compounds. Given mass or for each element in a sample of the compound 3,611
KengaRu [80]

Answer:

CaCl₂  

Step-by-step explanation:

The <em>empirical formula</em> is the simplest whole-number ratio of atoms in a compound.

The ratio of atoms is the same as the ratio of moles.

So, our job is to calculate the molar ratio of Ca to Cl.

Data:

Mass of Ca = 3.611 g

Mass of Cl = 6.389 g

Calculations

Step 1. <em>Calculate the moles of each element </em>

Moles of Ca = 3.611 g Ca × (1 mol Ca/(40.08 g Ca)= 0.090 10 mol Ca

Moles of Cl = 6.389 g Cl  

Step 2. <em>Calculate the molar ratio of the elements </em>

Divide each number by the smallest number of moles

Ca:Cl = 0.090 10:0.1802 = 1:2.000

Step 3. Round the molar ratios to the nearest integer

Ca:Cl = 1:2.000 ≈ 1:2


Step 4: <em>Write the empirical formula </em>

EF = CaCl₂

In this problem, you will use Lenz's law to explore what happens when an electromagnet is activated a short distance from a wire
Vsevolod [243]

Answer:

The correct answer is Option A (There is no magnetic flux through the wire loop.)

Explanation:

Magnetic flux measures the entire magnetic field that passes through the wire loop.

The right hand rule can be demonstrated on how magnetic flux is generated through the moving current in the wire loop. The magnetic flux through the wire loop  will decrease as it moves upward through the magnetic field region.

If the direction of the vector area of the wire loop is to the right, and the switch is closed, it will push the magnetic flux to the right which will now be increased due to an equal increase in the current in the wire loop. But, when the switch is open, this will halt the movement of current through the wire loop thus affecting the generation of magnetic field. This would make the magnetic flux to be zero.
