Answer : The chemical formula of a compound is, Ga_2O_3

Solution : Given,

Mass of gallium = 1.25 g

Mass of gallium oxide = 1.68 g

Mass of oxygen = Mass of gallium oxide - Mass of gallium

Mass of oxygen = 1.68 - 1.25 = 0.43 g

Molar mass of Ga = 69.72 g/mole

Molar mass of O = 16 g/mole

Step 1 : convert given masses into moles.

Moles of Ga = $\frac{\text{ given mass of Ga}}{\text{ molar mass of Ga}}= \frac{1.25g}{69.72g/mole}=0.0179moles$

Moles of O = $\frac{\text{ given mass of O}}{\text{ molar mass of O}}= \frac{0.43g}{16g/mole}=0.027moles$

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

For Ga = $\frac{0.0179}{0.0179}=1$

For O = $\frac{0.027}{0.0179}=1.5$

The ratio of Ga : O = 1 : 1.5

To make in whole number we multiple ratio by 2, we get:

The ratio of Ga : O = 2 : 3

The mole ratio of the element is represented by subscripts in empirical formula.

The Empirical formula = Ga_2O_3

The empirical formula weight = 2(69.72) + 3(16) = 187.44 gram/eq

Now we have to calculate the molecular formula of the compound.

Formula used :

$n=\frac{\text{Molecular formula}}{\text{Empirical formula weight}}$

$n=\frac{187.44}{187.44}=1$

Molecular formula = (Ga_2O_3)_n=(Ga_2O_3)_1=Ga_2O_3

Therefore, the chemical of the compound is, Ga_2O_3

Answer from: Quest

here we have to get the change of moles on decrease the volume of the reaction in gas phase.

the per the given options it will decrease by (d) 11-50%

we know, on decreasing the volume of the gas phase reaction the reaction moves to the product side.

the reaction: so₂cl₂ (g) = so₂ (g) + cl₂ (g) total

the moles at equilibrium: 1 - α α α = 1+α

concentrations: 1 - α α α = 1 + α

(concentration = moles/volume, as volume is 1 l)

(where α is the degree of dissociation)

now the dissociation constant in terms of concentration is :

$k_{c}$ = $\frac{[so2cl2] x [cl2]}{[so2cl2]}$

or, $\frac{\alpha ^{2} }{(1-\alpha)v }$

or, $k_{c}$ = $\frac{\alpha ^{2} }{(1-\alpha) }$ (at v = 1l)

the reaction: so₂cl₂ (g) = so₂ (g) + cl₂ (g) total

the moles at equilibrium: 1 - α α α = 1+α

concentrations: (1 - α)/0.5 α/0.5 α/0.5 = (1 + α)/0.5

thus, the dissociation constant in terms of concentration is :

$\frac{[so2cl2] x [cl2]}{[so2cl2]}$

or, $\frac{\alpha ^{2} }{(1-\alpha)0.5 }$

$\frac{\alpha ^{2} }{(1-\alpha) }$ = $\frac{\alpha ^{2} }{(1-\alpha) 0.5}$

so, the change of 1 : 1/0.5

or, 1: 2

thus it will decrease by 50%.

or, as per the given options it will decrease by 11-50%
