Answer:
Indeed, the chemist is capable of identifying the compound present in the sample.
Explanation:
In one mole of K₂O, potassium has a mass of 2 × 39.1 g = 78.2 g, while the total mass of K₂O is 94.2 g. The mass ratio of K compared to K₂O is calculated as 78.2 g / 94.2 g = 0.830.
For 1 mole of K₂O₂, potassium's mass remains the same at 78.2 g, but the total mass of K₂O₂ is 110.2 g. The mass ratio of K to K₂O₂ then equates to 78.2 g / 110.2 g = 0.710.
When the chemist measures the mass of K in relation to the overall sample, the mass ratio can be computed.
- If the mass ratio is 0.830, then it indicates a pure K₂O compound.
- If the mass ratio is 0.710, it indicates a pure K₂O₂ compound.
- If the mass ratio falls outside of 0.830 or 0.710, the sample is assessed to be a mixture.
Answer:
Ir(NO2)3
Explanation:
The molar mass is 330.2335, in case that's also required.
Answer: The correct selection is (b).
Explanation:
The energy required to detach an electron from an atom or ion in its gaseous state is termed ionization energy.
This indicates that a smaller atom necessitates a greater amount of energy to remove its valence electron. The reason for this is that there exists a strong attraction between the nucleus and the electrons in smaller atoms or elements.
Therefore, a significant amount of energy is needed to dislodge the valence electrons.
The electronic configuration for helium is 
. Hence, due to its fully occupied valence shell, it exhibits greater stability.
Consequently, a large amount of energy is needed to remove an electron from a helium atom.
In conclusion, from the choices provided, the ionization energy of helium will be greater than that of the diatomic molecule.
Specific heat refers to the quantity of heat a material can absorb or release to alter its temperature by one degree Celsius. To calculate specific heat, we apply the equation for the heat absorbed by the system. The heat taken in or released by a system can be expressed by multiplying the mass of the substance by its specific heat capacity and the change in temperature. The formula is:
Heat = mC(T2-T1)
By substituting the provided values, we can find C, the specific heat of the substance.
2510 J = 0.158 kg (1000 g / 1 kg)(C)(61.0 - 32.0 °C) C = 0.5478 J/g°C
Answer:
- A. Which element, X or Z, has a higher molar mass?
Explanation:
Heating the original compounds intensely to remove all oxygen causes chemical decomposition reactions:
- 2XClO₃ (solid) → 2XCl + 3O₂ (gas)
- 2ZClO₃ (solid) → 2ZCl + 3O₂ (gas)
By measuring the initial mass of each sample and the mass remaining after heating, the student can compute the oxygen gas mass released:
- Mass of oxygen released = initial sample mass minus residue mass
Using this oxygen mass, she can calculate how many moles of oxygen were present in each sample:
- Moles of oxygen = oxygen mass (g) divided by molar mass of oxygen
Next, the moles of the original sample are determined:
- Each mole of XClO₃ or ZClO₃ has 3 moles of oxygen atoms.
So, dividing the moles of oxygen released by 3 gives the moles of the sample.
Applying the formula molar mass = mass / moles, the student finds the molar masses of XClO₃ and ZClO₃.
Thus, this data allows answering question A: Which of X or Z has the higher molar mass?
