A compound consists of 75% magnesium and 25% oxygen. Find the empirical formula.

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

% Composition of elements:

Magnesium = 75%Oxygen = 25%

Atomic mass of given elements:

Magnesium = 24 gOxygen = 16 g

Now, divide % composition by Atomic mass:

[tex]\footnotesize\implies Mg = \dfrac{\% \: Composition}{Atomic \: mass} = \dfrac{75}{24} = \bf 3.125[/tex]

[tex]\footnotesize\implies O = \dfrac{\% \: Composition}{Atomic \: mass} = \dfrac{25}{16} = \bf 1.5625[/tex]

Simplest Ratio:

[tex]\footnotesize\implies Mg = \dfrac{3.125}{1.5625} = 2[/tex]

[tex]\footnotesize\implies O = \dfrac{1.5625}{1.5625} = 1[/tex]

Empirical Formula:

[tex]\footnotesize\implies \underline{ \boxed{ \red{ \bf Empirical \: Formula = Mg_2O}}}[/tex]

Answer 2

The empirical formula will be [tex]Mg_{2}[/tex] .

What is empirical formula?

The simplest entire number fraction of atoms contained in a chemical molecule is its empirical formula.

Calculation of empirical formula:

It is given that, composition of Mg = 75 %, composition of oxygen  = 25%.

It is known that, atomic mass of Mg = 24 g, atomic mass of oxygen = 16g.

By dividing % composition by atomic mass of given elements:

Mg = % composition / %atomic mass

= 75 / 24

= 3.125

Oxygen (O) = % Composition / atomic mass

= 25 / 1.56

Now, calculate simplest ratio of Mg and O.

For Mg = 3.125 / 1.56

= 2.

For O = 1.56 / 1.56

= 1

So, the empirical formula will be [tex]Mg_{2}O[/tex].

how is atom and molecules related to our sense of smell?

Answers

Humans detect smell by inhaling air that contains odor molecules, hence, bind to receptors inside the nose, relaying messages to the brain. Most scents are composed of many odorants, for example, a chocolate is made up of hundreds of distinct odor molecules

Answer:

Atoms themselves do not have a smell. Molecules do.

Explanation:

What happens is that particular molecules bind to receptors in our nose, activating nerves, that then send signals to our brain, which we then interpret and perceive as “smells”. Different molecules bind to different receptors, which is why we can perceive a number of different smells

Air resistance opposes the gravity in a falling object hence the object loses speed once it reaches terminal velocity.

According to the experiment of Galileo, in the absence of air resistance, all objects that are thrown down from the same height will hit the ground at he same time due to the effect of gravity.

We know that the air resistance makes the acceleration of object to become less than the acceleration due to gravity. So, air resistance opposes the force of gravity and causes falling objects to lose speed once they reach terminal velocity.

Ill explain why -, for example ,

When the paper is smooth, it exposes a large surface to the air beneath it which slows its descent. Once it is crumpled, the surface which comes in contact with the air is much smaller, allowing it to fall much faster.  At first, you probably thought the book would touch the ground first since it is heavier However, once the piece of paper was crumpled, they hit the ground at the same time! Funny, since it is the same piece of paper and the book is still heavier. It all comes down to form. I hope this helped u with the test !!

Explanation:

At 298 K, the reaction 2 HF (g) ⇌ H2 (g) + F2 (g) has an equilibrium constant Kc of 8.70x10-3. If the equlibrium concentrations of H2 and F2 gas are both 1.33x10-3 M, determine the initial concentration of HF gas assuming you only started with HF gas and no products initially.

Answers

This problem is describing the equilibrium whereby hydrofluoric acid decomposes to hydrogen and fluorine gases at 298 K whose equilibrium constant is 8.70x10⁻³, the equilibrium concentrations of all the reactants are both 1.33x10⁻³ M and asks for the initial concentration of hydrofluoric acid which turns out to be 2.86x10⁻³ M.

Then, we can write the following equilibrium expression for hydrofluoric acid once the change, [tex]x[/tex], has taken place:

[tex][HF]=[HF]_0-2x[/tex]

Now, since both products are 1.33x10⁻³ M we infer the reaction extent is also 1.33x10⁻³ M, and thus, we can calculate the equilibrium concentration of HF via the law of mass action (equilibrium expression):

[tex]8.70x10^{-3}=\frac{(1.33x10^{-3} M)^2}{[HF]} }[/tex]

[tex][HF]=\frac{(1.33x10^{-3} M)^2}{8.70x10^{-3}} }=2.03x10^{-4}M[/tex]

Finally, the initial concentration of HF is calculated as follows:

[tex][HF]_0=[HF]+2x=2.033x10^{-4}+2*(1.33x10^{-3})=2.86x10^{-3}M[/tex]

Which technology removes carbon dioxide from the air by binding to it?
Answers-
O Pyrolization
O Direct-air capture
() Engineered molecules
O Carbon ground injection

Answers

Answer:

Direct-air capture

Explanation:

To understand the technology I'm about to explain, I'll model it to something familiar. As you know, the process of  photosynthesis is where trees and plants use sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide to create energy for themselves, and release oxygen as a byproduct. Direct- air capture is exactly like this. Its pulls in air and then through a range of similiar chemical reactions, it extracts the carbon dioxide from it while returning the rest of the air to the surrounding environment. Except, the Direct-air capture does this at a much faster rate than nature does. The direct-air capture uses a ginormous fan that pulls air in which then passes over plastic surfaces that have potassium hydroxide solutions covered over them. The potassium hydroxide solution chemically binds with the carbon dioxide molecules, removing them from the air and trapping them in the liquid solution as a carbonate salt. The carbon dioxide is then contained where it is compressed and purified and then stored for later use.

when an hydrogen ion containing acid (HX) reacts with a hydroxide containing base(BOH)  they produce water and a "salt".

water can be called  dihydrogen oxide (H2O), but it can also be called

hydrogen hydroxide (HOH)...same thing.

so the phosphoric acid (H3PO4) contains 3 hydrogen ions (H), and needs 3

hydroxide ions to from 3 hydrogen hydroxides .. that is 3 waters AND A "SALT" WITH THE REMAINING SPECIES ( K AND PO4)

Initial rate experiments

The simplest initial rate experiments involve measuring the time taken for some recognizable event to happen early in a reaction. This could be the time required for 5 cm3 of gas to be produced, for a small, measurable amount of precipitate to form, or for a dramatic color change to occur. Examples of these three indicators are discussed below.

The concentration of one of the components of the reaction could be changed, holding everything else constant: the concentrations of other reactants, the total volume of the solution and the temperature. The time required for the event to occur is then measured. This process is repeated for a range of concentrations of the substance of interest. A reasonably wide range of concentrations must be measured.This process could be repeated by altering a different property.

g Consider an ideal atomic gas in a cylinder. The upper part of the cylinder is a moveable piston of negligible weight. The height of the cylinder is 30 cm. The outside pressure is 105 Pa. The temperature of the gas is kept at 250 K throughout the experiment. The volume filled by the gas is 2.0 l. Now assume that solid cylindrical weight with a mass of 3 kg is dropped onto the piston from a height of 10 m. Cylinder and piston have the same diameter. Assume that the kinetic energy of the weight is completely converted into heat transferred into the gas cylinder. Calculate the change of entropy of the gas and of the environment. Please read this text very carefully

Answers

A cylindrical weight with a mass of 3 kg is dropped onto the piston from a height of 10 m. The entropy of the gas is 1.18 J/K and the change in the entropy of the environment is -1.18 J/K.

A cylindrical weight with a mass (m) of 3 kg is dropped, that is, its initial velocity (u) is 0 m/s and travels 10 m (s). Assuming the acceleration (a) is that of gravity (9.8 m/s²). We can calculate the velocity (v) of the weight in the instant prior to the collision with the piston using the following kinematic equation.

[tex]v^{2} = u^{2} + 2as = 2 (9.8 m/s^{2} ) (10m) \\\\v = 14 m/s[/tex]

The object with a mass of 3 kg collides with the piston at 14 m/s, The kinetic energy (K) of the object at that moment is:

[tex]K = \frac{1}{2} m v^{2} = \frac{1}{2} (3kg) (14m/s)^{2} = 294 J[/tex]

The kinetic energy of the weight is completely converted into heat transferred into the gas cylinder. Thus, Q = 294 J.

Given all the process is at 250 K (T), we can calculate the change of entropy of the gas using the following expression.

[tex]\Delta S_{gas} = \frac{Q}{T} = \frac{294 J}{250K} = 1.18 J/K[/tex]

The change in the entropy of the environment, has the same value but opposite sign than the change in the entropy of the gas. Thus, [tex]\Delta S_{env} = -1.18 J/K[/tex]

A cylindrical weight with a mass of 3 kg is dropped onto the piston from a height of 10 m. The entropy of the gas is 1.18 J/K and the change in the entropy of the environment is -1.18 J/K.
