<u>Answer:</u> The empirical formula for the given compound is K_2CrO_4

<u>Explanation:</u>

We are given:

Mass of Cr = 0.70 g

Mass of K = 1.04 g

Mass of O = 0.86 g

To formulate the empirical formula, we need to follow some steps:

<u>Step 1:</u> Converting the given masses into moles.

Moles of Chromium =\frac{\text{Given mass of Chromium}}{\text{Molar mass of Chromium}}=\frac{0.70g}{52g/mole}=0.013moles

Moles of Potassium = \frac{\text{Given mass of Potassium}}{\text{Molar mass of Potassium}}=\frac{1.04g}{39g/mole}=0.027moles

Moles of Oxygen = \frac{\text{Given mass of oxygen}}{\text{Molar mass of oxygen}}=\frac{0.86g}{16g/mole}=0.054moles

<u>Step 2:</u> Calculating the mole ratio of the given elements.

For the mole ratio, we divide each value of the moles by the smallest number of moles calculated which is 0.013 moles.

For Chromium = \frac{0.013}{0.013}=1

For Potassium = \frac{0.027}{0.013}=2.07\approx 2

For Oxygen = \frac{0.054}{0.013}=4.15\approx 4

<u>Step 3:</u> Taking the mole ratio as their subscripts.

The ratio of K : Cr : O = 2 : 1 : 4

Hence, the empirical formula for the given compound is K_2CrO_4

A sample of cacl2⋅2h2o/k2c2o4⋅h2o solid salt mixture is dissolved in ~150 ml de-ionized h2o. the oven dried precipitate has a ma
Paraphin [41]

We are given that the balanced chemical reaction is:

cacl2⋅2h2o(aq) + k2c2o4⋅h2o(aq) ---> cac2o4⋅h2o(s) + 2kcl(aq) + 2h2o(l)

We known that the product was oven dried, therefore the mass of 0.333 g pertains only to that of the substance cac2o4⋅h2o(s). So what we will do first is to convert this into moles by dividing the mass with the molar mass. The molar mass of cac2o4⋅h2o(s) is molar mass of cac2o4 plus the molar mass of h2o.

molar mass cac2o4⋅h2o(s) = 128.10 + 18 = 146.10 g /mole

moles cac2o4⋅h2o(s) = 0.333 / 146.10 = 2.28 x 10^-3 moles

Looking at the balanced chemical reaction, the ratio of cac2o4⋅h2o(s) and k2c2o4⋅h2o(aq) is 1:1, therefore:

moles k2c2o4⋅h2o(aq) = 2.28 x 10^-3 moles

Converting this to mass:

mass k2c2o4⋅h2o(aq) = 2.28 x 10^-3 moles (184.24 g /mol) = 0.419931006 g

 

Therefore:

The mass of k2c2o4⋅<span>h2o(aq) in the salt mixture is about 0.420 g</span>

Which of the following trends is indirectly proportional to effective nuclear charge, Zeff
Julli [10]

Answer : Option C) Atomic Size

Explanation : The atomic radius of the elements is found to be decreasing if we go from left to right in the modern periodic table. Accordingly, Z_{eff} increases as the number of shielding electrons present in the atomic nucleus of the periodic elements which lies in the same row remains constant while the number of protons in each atomic shell increases.

The effective nuclear charge Z_{eff} of an atom is defined as the net positive charge which is felt by the valence electron of the atomic element.

When Z_{eff} is observed to decrease, it is seen that the atomic radius grows in size. So, it explains the inverse relationship between both. This phenomenon occurs, because there is more screening of the electrons from the nucleus taking place, which is observed due to decrease the attraction between the electron and the nucleus.

Calculate the mass of 25,000 molecules of nitrogen gas. (1 mole = 6.02 x 1023 molecules)
Ainat [17]

Hey there!

Molar mass N2 = 28.01 g/mol

Therefore:

28.01 g N2 -------------- 6.02*10²² molecules N2

( mass N2 ?? ) ----------- 25,000 molecules N2

mass N2 =  ( 25,000 * 28.01 ) /  ( 6.02*10²³ )

mass N2 = 700250 / 6.02*10²³

mass N2 = 1.163*10⁻¹⁸ g


Hope that helps!

Give four different chemical meanings for the word element and an example of each
Naddika [18.5K]

Answer ;

-An element is a substance containing only one type of atom, for example; H2 or 02  (consisting of atoms that all have the same number of protons).

-Microscopic, single atom of that element

-Macroscopic, sample of that element large enough to weigh on a balance

- A substance that cannot be broken down chemically; e.g; sodium metal,

Explanation;

-An element is a substance whose atoms all have the same number of protons: another way of saying this is that all of a particular element's atoms have the same atomic number. Elements are chemically the simplest substances and hence cannot be broken down using chemical reactions.

-An element is uniquely determined by the number of protons in the nuclei of its atoms.
