Answer: FeSO_4

Solution : Given,

If percentage are given then we are taking total mass is 100 grams.

So, the mass of each element is equal to the percentage given.

Mass of Fe = 36.76 g

Mass of S = 21.11 g

Mass of O = 42.13 g

Step 1 : convert given masses into moles.

Moles of Fe =\frac{\text{ given mass of Fe}}{\text{ molar mass of Fe}}= \frac{36.76g}{56g/mole}=0.65moles

Moles of S = \frac{\text{ given mass of S}}{\text{ molar mass of S}}= \frac{21.11g}{32g/mole}=0.65moles

[/tex]


Moles of O = \frac{\text{ given mass of O}}{\text{ molar mass of O}}= \frac{42.13g}{16g/mole}=2.63[/tex]

Step 2 : For the mole ratio, divide each value of moles by the smallest number of moles calculated.

For Fe = \frac{0.65}{0.65}=1

For S = \frac{0.65}{0.65}=1

For O =\frac{2.63}{0.65}=4

The ratio of Fe : S : O= 1 : 1 : 4

Hence the empirical formula is Fe_{1}S_{1}O_4

An ice cube with a volume of 45.0ml and a density of 0.9000g/cm3 floats in a liquid with a density of 1.36g/ml. what volume of t
Grace [21]

Answer : The volume of the cube submerged in the liquid is, 29.8 mL

Explanation :

First we have to determine the mass of ice.

Formula used :

\text{Mass of ice}=\text{Density of ice}\times \text{Volume of ice}

Given:

Density of ice = 0.9000g/cm^3=0.9000g/mL

Volume of ice = 45.0 mL

\text{Mass of ice}=0.9000g/mL\times 45.0mL

\text{Mass of ice}=40.5g

The cube will float when 40.5 g of liquid is displaced.

Now we have to determine the volume of the cube is submerged in the liquid.

\text{Volume of ice}=\frac{\text{Mass of liquid}}{\text{Density of liquid}}

\text{Volume of ice}=\frac{40.5g}{1.36g/mL}

\text{Volume of ice}=29.8mL

Thus, the volume of the cube submerged in the liquid is, 29.8 mL

Exactly 56 grams of iron is mixed with 156 grams of oxygen. The elements are heated and they react. What best describes which re
Mars2501 [29]

Answer:

Explanation:

The chemical expression for the reaction between iron and oxygen is:

4Fe(s)  +  3O₂ (g)  \to 2Fe₂O₃ (s)

The number of moles of Fe = mass of Fe/ molecular mass of Fe

The number of moles of Fe = 56 g/ 55.845 g/mol

The number of moles of Fe = 1.002 moles of Fe

The number of moles of oxygen = mass of oxygen/ molecular mass of oxygen

The number of moles of oxygen = 156 g /32 g/mol

The number of moles of oxygen = 4.875 moles of oxygen

Assume that Fe is the limiting reactant, the number of Fe₂O₃ can be calculated as:

moles of Fe₂O₃ = 1.002 mole of Fe × 2 moles of Fe₂O₃/ 4 moles of Fe

moles of Fe₂O₃ = 0.501 mole of Fe₂O₃

Assume that O₂ is the limiting factor, the number of Fe₂O₃ is:

moles of Fe₂O₃ = 4.875 moles of O₂ × 2 moles of Fe₂O₃/ 3 moles of O₂

moles of Fe₂O₃ = 3.25 mole of Fe₂O₃

Thus, after the reaction is complete, Fe and O₂ contain different moles of Fe₂O₃. Only Fe gets consumed in the reaction and it is the limiting factor.

What is the specific heat of a metal if the temperature of a 12.5 g sample increases from 19.5 C to 33.6 C when it absorbs 37.7
MariettaO [177]

Answer:

0.213 J/g°C

Explanation:

To calculate specific heat of the metal, the formula is used:

Q = m × c × ∆T

Where Q = amount of heat

m = mass

c = specific heat

∆T = change in temperature

According to this question, Q = 37.7 J, m= 12.5 g, initial temperature= 19.5 °C, final temperature = 33.6°C, c=?

Q = m × c × ∆T

37.7 = 12.5 × c × (33.6-19.5)

37.7 = 12.5c × 14.1

37.7 = 176.25c

c = 37.7/176.25

c = 0.2139

Hence, the specific heat of the metal is 0.213 J/g°C

Question 1(Multiple Choice Worth 3 points)
GarryVolchara [31]

Answer:

mass molar of  gas (Mw):

Mw = 107 g/mol

Explanation:

∴ m gas = 3.82 g

∴ V gas = 0.854 L

∴ T = 302 K

∴ P = 1.04 atm

ideal gas:

  • PV = RTn

∴ n = m / Mw

⇒ PV = RTm/Mw

⇒ Mw = RTm / PV

⇒ Mw = ((0.082 atm.L/K.mol)*(302 K)*(3.82 g)) / ((1.04 atm)*(0.854 L)

⇒ Mw = 106.51 g/mol ≅ 107 g/mol
