The empirical formula represents the simplest integer ratio of the components constituting the compound
Mass percentage of boron - 81.1 %
Mass percentage of hydrogen - 18.9 %
In a 100 g sample of the compound
                                               B                        H
Mass                                   81.1 g                  18.9 g
Moles calculated as follows: 81.1 g /11 g/mol       18.9 g/1 g/mol
                                          = 7.37 mol             = 18.9 mol
To find the ratio, divide by the smallest number of moles
                                           7.37/7.37 =1.00     18.9/7.37 =2.56
Since we obtain 2.56, a non-integer, we must multiply both boron and hydrogen values by 2
B = 1.00 x2 = 2.00
H = 2.56 x 2 = 5.12 rounded to 5
Thus, the empirical formula is
B₂H₅

0.475 g H, 7.557 gS, 15.107 g O. Express your answer as a chemical formula.
lorasvet [2668]

Response:

H₂SO₄

Clarification:

Given a compound consisting of 0.475 g H, 7.557 g S, and 15.107 g O, we must compute the empirical formula by following specific steps.

Step 1: Compute the total mass of the compound

Total mass = mass H + mass S + mass O = 0.475 g + 7.557 g + 15.107 g

Total mass = 23.139 g

Step 2: Determine the percentage composition.

H: (0.475g/23.139g) × 100% = 2.05%

S: (7.557g/23.139g) × 100% = 32.66%

O: (15.107g/23.139g) × 100% = 65.29%

Step 3: Divide each percentage by the element's atomic mass

H: 2.05/1.01 = 2.03

S: 32.66/32.07 = 1.018

O: 65.29/16.00 = 4.081

Step 4: Normalize all values by the smallest one

H: 2.03/1.018 ≈ 2

S: 1.018/1.018 = 1

O: 4.081/1.018 ≈ 4

Thus, the empirical formula for the compound is H₂SO₄.

Consider a specific chemical reaction represented by the equation aA + bB → cC + dD. In this equation the letters A, B, C, and D
castortr0y [2913]
The solution to your inquiry is: c = a + b - d. In the chemical equation aA + bB → cC + dD, c may take any value from 1 to however many are needed for the equation to maintain its balance. For instance, if we consider c + d = a + b, we can express c as a + b - d. If we assign values a = 1; b = 3, and d = 2, then c equals 1 + 3 - 2, resulting in c = 2, and so forth.

If 4.168 kJ of heat is added to a calorimeter containing 75.40 g of water, the temperature of the water and the calorimeter incr
VMariaS [2860]

Answer:

The heat capacity of the calorimeter is C_c = 54.4 \frac{J}{c}

Explanation:

Given the data

Heat supplied Q = 4.168 KJ = 4168 J

Mass of water m_w = 75.40 gm

Change in temperature = ΔT = 35.82 - 24.58 = 11.24 °C

From the conditions provided

Q = m_w C_w ΔT + C_c ΔT

Plugging all values into the above equation yields

4168 = 75.70 × 4.18 × 11.24 +  C_c × 11.24

611.37 =  C_c × 11.24

C_c = 54.4 \frac{J}{c}

This represents the heat capacity of the calorimeter.

21.7 mL of gas at 98.8 kPa is allowed to expand at constant temperature into a 52.7 mL container. What is the new pressure of th
alisha [2865]
The new pressure of the gas is calculated to be 40.7 kPa. Using the principle that P1 • V1 = P2 • V2, we can set 98.8 kPa (P1) multiplied by 21.7 mL (V1) equal to P2 (unknown pressure) multiplied by 52.7 mL (V2). To isolate P2, we rearrange the equation to P2 = (98.8 kPa • 21.7 mL) / 52.7 mL, resulting in P2 equal to 40.7 kPa.
