A compound is found to consist of 34.5% sodium, 16.4% boron, and 48.6% oxygen. What is the empirical formula?
A. NaBO3
B. NaBO2
C. Na2B4O7
D. Na3BO3

Answers

Answer 1

Answer: The empirical formula is [tex]NaBO_2[/tex]

Explanation:

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 Na= 34.5 g

Mass of B= 16.4 g

Mass of O = 48.6 g

Step 1 : convert given masses into moles.

Moles of Na =[tex]\frac{\text{ given mass of Na}}{\text{ molar mass of Na}}= \frac{34.5g}{23g/mole}=1.5moles[/tex]

Moles of B =[tex]\frac{\text{ given mass of B}}{\text{ molar mass of B}}= \frac{16.4g}{11g/mole}=1.5moles[/tex]

Moles of O =[tex]\frac{\text{ given mass of O}}{\text{ molar mass of O}}= \frac{48.6g}{16g/mole}=3moles[/tex]

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

For Na = [tex]\frac{1.5}{1.5}=1[/tex]

For B = [tex]\frac{1.5}{1.5}=1[/tex]

For O =[tex]\frac{3}{1.5}=2[/tex]

The ratio of Na: B: O= 1: 1: 2

Hence the empirical formula is [tex]NaBO_2[/tex]

A 12.0% sucrose solution by mass has a density of 1.05 gem, what mass of sucrose is present in a 32.0-mL sample of this solution?
A) 0.126g
B) 3.66g
C) 4.03g
D) 3.84g
E) 280 g

Answers

Answer:

Option C. 4.03 g

Explanation:

Firstly we analyse data.

12 % by mass, is a sort of concentration. It indicates that in 100 g of SOLUTION, we have 12 g of SOLUTE.

Density is the data that indicates grams of solution in volume of solution.

We need to determine, the volume of solution for the concentration

Density = mass / volume

1.05 g/mL = 100 g / volume

Volume =  100 g / 1.05 g/mL → 95.24 mL

Therefore our 12 g of solute are contained in 95.24 mL

Let's finish this by a rule of three.

95.24 mL contain 12 g of sucrose

Our sample of 32 mL may contain ( 32 . 12) / 95.24 = 4.03 g

In like manner, represent particle diagrams that account for the fact that one volume of hydrogen combines with one volume of chlorine to form hydrogen chloride. What do you suppose is the formula of hydrogen chloride?

Answers

Answer:

According to Avogadro's law which states that equal volumes of all gases under the same condition of temperature and pressure contain equal number of molecules. Therefore, one molecule of hydrogen reacts with one molecule of chlorine to yield two molecules of hydrogen chloride.

The formula of hydrogen chloride is HCl

The particle diagram is found in the attachment below.

Explanation:

The reaction between hydrogen and chlorine to form hydrogen chloride is represented by the equation below

H₂(g) + Cl₂(g) ---> 2HCl(g)

In the reaction equation above, one mole (or one volume) of diatomic hydrogen gas reacts with one mole (or one volume) of diatomic chlorine gas to form two moles (or two volumes) of hydrogen chloride gas. This is in accordance with Avogadro's law which states that equal volumes of all gases under the same condition of temperature and pressure contain equal number of molecules.

Which graph shows the pressure-volume relationship expected for an ideal gas? (This is an illustration of Boyle's law.)
Question 11 options:

A)

Graph B

B)

Graph C

C)

Graph D

D)

Graph A

Answers

Answer:

D

Explanation:

The graph of Boyle's law is known as pressure-volume graph or PV curve. It is as follows:

As observed from the graph above, pressure increases with a decrease in volume, and vice versa. Thus, pressure is inversely proportional to volume. Other parameters (temperature and amount of gas) are constant in the graph above.

Volume is on the x-axis and pressure, on the y-axis. The equation of the curve is PV = k, which is the equation of Boyle's law. The curve is hyperbolic in nature having two asymptotes: P = 0 (horizontal) and V = 0 (vertical).

As volume tends to positive infinity, pressure tends to zero, and we get the horizontal asymptote, P = 0.

Horizontal asymptote, P=0

When volume approaches zero, pressure approaches infinity, and it results in the vertical asymptote, V = 0.

The graph which shows the pressure-volume relationship expected for an ideal gas is: C)  Graph D.

Boyle's states that when the temperature of an ideal gas is kept constant, the pressure of the gas is inversely proportional to the volume occupied by the gas.

Mathematically, Boyle's law is given by the formula:

[tex]PV = k[/tex]

Where;

P is the pressure of an ideal gas.V is the volume of an ideal gas.

For the illustration of Boyle's law using a graph, volume is represented on the x-axis while pressure is represented on the y-axis.

Generally, the graph of Boyle's law is a hyperbolic curve with two asymptotes:

P = 0 (horizontal axis).V = 0 (vertical axis).

What do you have to do to break a molecule?

Answers

Answer:

Heat the molecule

Explanation:

Since most bonds require energy to form, they also give off energy when they are broken. But before most bonds break, the molecule has to be heated. Then the atoms start to move, and when they move too much, the bond breaks. Molecules that require less energy to break than they give off when broken are called fuels.

If 18.00 mL of 0.1000 M magnesium hydroxide reacts with 10.00 mL of hydrochloric acid, what is the molarity of the acid solution?

Answers

Answer:

0.36M HCl

Explanation:

The reaction of Mg(OH)₂ with HCl is:

Mg(OH)₂ + 2HCl → MgCl₂ + 2H₂O

Where 1 mole of magnesium hydroxide reacts with 2 moles of HCl

To solve this question, we need to find the moles of Mg(OH)₂ that reacted and, with chemical equation, solve for the moles of HCl and its molarity (Using the 10.00mL = 0.01000L) as follows:

Moles of Mg(OH)₂:

18mL = 0.018L * (0.100mol / L) = 0.0018 moles Mg(OH)₂

Moles HCl:

0.0018 moles Mg(OH)₂ * (2 moles HCl / mol Mg(OH)₂) = 0.0036 moles HCl

Molarity HCl:

0.0036 moles HCl / 0.0100L =

A candle made of certain wax blend burns at a rate of 44.2 mg/min. What is the value of this burn rate if expressed in grams/hour

Answers

Answer:

2.652 g/h.

Explanation:

Burn rate (in mg/min) = 44.2 mg/min

Burn rate (in m/h) =?

We'll begin by converting 44.2 mg/min to g/min. This can be obtained as follow:

1 mg/min = 0.001 g/min

Therefore,

44.2 mg/min = 44.2 mg/min × 0.001 g/min / 1 mg/min

44.2 mg/min = 0.0442 g/min

Finally, we shall convert 0.0442 g/min to g/h. This can be obtained as follow:

1 g/min = 60 g/h

Therefore,

0.0442 g/min = 0.0442 g/min × 60 g/h / 1 g/min

0.0442 g/min = 2.652 g/h

Therefore, 44.2 mg/min is equivalent to 2.652 g/h.

Thus, the burn rate (in m/h) is 2.652 g/h.

Predict the molecular structure (including bond angles) for each of the following.
a. PCl3
b. SCl2
c. SiF4

Answers

Answer:

PCl3 - trigonal pyramidal <109 degrees

SCl2 - bent<109 degrees

SiF4 - tetrahedral 109 degrees

Explanation:

The shape of all three molecules derive from a tetrahedral arrangement of electron pairs.

However, in PCl3 there is a lone pair of electrons on P and three bond pairs. This leads to the observance of a trigonal pyramidal geometry with bond angle <109 degrees.

In SCl2, there are four regions of electron density around S, two lone pairs and two bond pairs leading to a bent molecular geometry with bond angle <109 degrees.

In SiF4, there are four bond pairs and no lone pair. The molecular geometry is tetrahedral with a bond angle of 109 degrees.

How many mL of 0.125 M Ba(OH)2 would be required to completely neutralize 75.0 mL of 0.845 M HCl? What is the pH of the solution at the equivalence point?

Answers

Answer:

253.5mL of Ba(OH)₂ are required to neutralize the HCl solution

The pH at equivalence point is = 7

Explanation:

The reaction of Ba(OH)₂ with HCl is:

Ba(OH)₂ + 2HCl → BaCl₂ + 2H₂O

First, we need to find moles of HCl. With these moles and the chemical equation we can find the moles of Ba(OH)₂ and the volume required:

Moles HCl:

75.0mL = 0.075L * (0.845mol / 1L) = 0.063375moles HCl

Moles Ba(OH)₂:

0.06338moles HCl * (1mol Ba(OH)₂ / 2mol HCl) = 0.03169 moles Ba(OH)₂

Volume of the 0.125M Ba(OH)₂:

0.03169 moles Ba(OH)₂ * (1L / 0.125mol) = 0.2535L are required =

253.5mL of Ba(OH)₂ are required to neutralize the HCl solution

As the titration was of a strong acid, HCl, with a strong base, Ba(OH)₂, the pH at equivalence point is = 7
