    What is the percent of oxygen in Fe2(SO4)3?

    • 48%

    • 31%

    • 35%

    • 100%

    Correct Answer
    A. 48%
    Explanation
    The percent of oxygen in Fe2(SO4)3 can be determined by calculating the molar mass of oxygen in the compound and dividing it by the molar mass of the entire compound. Fe2(SO4)3 has a molar mass of 399.88 g/mol, and the molar mass of oxygen is 16.00 g/mol. The molar mass of oxygen in the compound is 3 * 16.00 g/mol = 48.00 g/mol. Therefore, the percent of oxygen in Fe2(SO4)3 is (48.00 g/mol / 399.88 g/mol) * 100% = 12.00%.

    A substance has an empirical formula of .  If the molar mass is 90 g/mol, what is the molecular formula? - ProProfs

    A substance has an empirical formula of .  If the molar mass is 90 g/mol, what is the molecular formula?

    Correct Answer
    A.
    Explanation
    The empirical formula gives the simplest whole number ratio of the atoms in a compound. In this case, the empirical formula is not given, so we cannot determine the molecular formula directly. However, since the molar mass is provided, we can calculate the empirical formula mass by summing the atomic masses of the elements in the empirical formula. Then, we can divide the molar mass by the empirical formula mass to find the number of empirical formula units in one molecule. This number will give us the ratio between the empirical formula and the molecular formula.

    A compound  is found to contain 46.66% nitrogen and 53.34 % oxygen, what is the empirical formula?

    Correct Answer
    A.
    Explanation
    The empirical formula of the compound can be determined by finding the ratio of the number of atoms of each element present in the compound. In this case, the compound contains 46.66% nitrogen and 53.34% oxygen. To find the ratio, we can assume a 100g sample of the compound. This means there would be 46.66g of nitrogen and 53.34g of oxygen. The molar mass of nitrogen is 14g/mol and the molar mass of oxygen is 16g/mol. Dividing the mass of each element by its molar mass gives us the number of moles. The ratio of moles of nitrogen to oxygen is approximately 3:2. Therefore, the empirical formula of the compound is N3O2.

    The molar mass for copper(II) sulfate pentahydrate is

    • 159.6 g/mol

    • 149.6 g/mol

    • 259.6 g/mol

    • 249.6 g/mol

    Correct Answer
    A. 249.6 g/mol
    Explanation
    The molar mass for copper(II) sulfate pentahydrate is 249.6 g/mol. This can be determined by adding up the atomic masses of all the elements in the compound. Copper has a molar mass of 63.5 g/mol, sulfur has a molar mass of 32.1 g/mol, oxygen has a molar mass of 16.0 g/mol, and hydrogen has a molar mass of 1.0 g/mol. Since there are five water molecules (with two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom each) in the compound, we need to add the molar mass of water (18.0 g/mol) five times. Adding all these masses together gives a molar mass of 249.6 g/mol.
