Empirical formula is the simplest ratio of whole numbers of components in a compound. 
Assuming for 100 g of the compound 
                                Cu                                 As                             S
mass                      48.41 g                          19.02 g                      32.57 g
number of moles    48.41 / 63.5 g/mol      19.02 / 75 g/mol        32.57 / 32 g/mol 
                                = 0.762 mol                = 0.2536 mol            = 1.018 mol 
divide by the least number of moles 
                               0.762 / 0.2536             0.2536 / 0.2536         1.018 / 0.2536
                               = 3.00                          = 1.00                         = 4.01
once they are rounded off 
Cu - 3
As - 1
S - 4
therefore empirical formula is Cu₃AsS₄

The empirical  formula  of enargite  is calculated as below

find the moles of each element
that is moles =% composition/molar mass

=Cu = 48.41/63.5 =0.762  moles
As = 19.02/74.9 = 0.254 moles
S =32.57/32.1 = 1.015 moles

find the moles ratio by diving  each  mole with the smallest mole( 0.254 moles)


CU =0.762/0.254 = 3
 As =0.254/0.254 =1
S= 1.015/0.254 = 4

therefore the empirical formula  =Cu3AsS4

22. How many atoms are there in 344.75 g of gold nugget? a. 1.05 x 10 to the power of 24 atoms b. 1.05 x 10 to the power of 23 a
mixas84 [53]

Answer:

1.053×10²⁴ atoms of gold

Explanation:

Hello,

Gold nugget are usually the natural occurring gold and they contain 85% - 90% weight of pure gold.

In this question, we're required to find the number of atoms in 344.75g of a gold nugget.

We can use mole concept relationship between Avogadro's number and molar mass.

1 mole = molar mass

Molar mass of gold = 197 g/mol

1 mole = Avogadro's number = 6.022 × 10²³ atoms

Number of mole = mass / molar mass

Mass = number of mole × molar mass

Mass = 1 × 197

Mass = 197g

197g is present in 6.022×10²³ atoms

344.75g will contain x atoms

x = (344.75 × 6.022×10²³) / 197

X = 1.053×10²⁴ atoms

Therefore 344.75g of gold nugget will contain 1.053×10²⁴ atoms of gold

For a ternary solution at constant T and P, the composition dependence of molar property M is given by: M = x1M1 + x2M2 + x3M3 +
AveGali [126]

Answer:

M_{i} = M_{i} + C_{xjxk} (1-2x_{i}) ...1

M^{\alpha } = M_{i} + CX_{xjxk}          ...2

Explanation:

The ternary constant is given by the following equation:

The symbol XiXi, where XX is an extensive property of a homogeneous mixture and the subscript ii identifies a constituent species of the mixture, denotes the partial molar quantity of species ii defined by

M_{i}  = [\frac{d(nM)}{dn_{i} }]_{P,t,n,j}

This is the rate at which property  X  changes with the amount of species  i  added to the mixture as the temperature, the pressure, and the amounts of all other species are kept constant.  A partial molar quantity is an intensive state function.  Its value depends on the temperature, pressure, and composition of the mixture.

In a multi phase system (in this case, a ternary system), the components resolved give:

M_{i} = M_{i} + C_{xjxk} (1-2x_{i})

and M^{\alpha } = M_{i} + CX_{xjxk}

A gas is heated from 263.0 K to 298.0 K and the volume is increased from 24.0 liters to 35.0 liters by moving a large piston wit
Triss [41]

Answer:

The final pressure is approximately 0.78 atm

Explanation:

The original temperature of the gas, T₁ = 263.0 K

The final temperature of the gas, T₂ = 298.0 K

The original volume of the gas, V₁ = 24.0 liters

The final volume of the gas, V₂ = 35.0 liters

The original pressure of the gas, P₁ = 1.00 atm

Let P₂ represent the final pressure, we get;

\dfrac{P_1 \cdot V_1}{T_1} = \dfrac{P_2 \cdot V_2}{T_2}

P_2 = \dfrac{P_1 \cdot V_1 \cdot T_2}{T_1 \cdot V_2}

P_2 = \dfrac{1 \times 24.0 \times 298}{263.0 \times  35.0} = 0.776969038566

∴ The final pressure P₂ ≈ 0.78 atm.
