Answer from: Bassoonist

Empirical formula of the Tin oxide sample is SnO₂

Explanation:

Tin reacts with combines with oxygen to form an oxide of tin.

Mass of crucible with cover = 19.66 g

Mass of crucible, cover, and tin sample = 22.29 g

Mass of crucible and cover and sample, after prolonged heating gives constant weight = 21.76 g

Mass of Tin oxide sample = 22.29 - 19.66 = 2.63 g

Mass of ordinary tin, after heating to breakdown the tin and oxygen = 21.76 - 19.66 = 2.1 g

Meaning that, mass of oxygen in the tin oxide sample = 2.63 - 2.1 = 0.53 g

Mass of Tin in the Tin Oxide sample = 2.1 g

Mass of Oxygen in the Tin oxide sample = 0.53 g

Convert these to number of moles

Number of moles of Tin on the Tin oxide sample = 2.1/118.71 = 0.0177

Number of moles of Oxygen in the Tin oxide sample = 0.53/16 = 0.0335

divide the number of moles by the lowest number

0.0177:0.0335

It becomes,

1:2

SnO₂

Hence, the empirical formula for the Tin oxide sample = SnO₂

Answer from: Quest

Answerthis solution will not form a precipitateexplanationsolubility equilbrium: pbf₂(s) ⇄ pb²⁺(aq) + 2 f⁻(aq)the solubility product expression is $k_{sp} = [\text{pb}^{2+}][\text{f}^- ]^2 = 4 \times 10^{-8}$ (we exclude solids from the equilibrium expression).now suppose we have the trial ion product q, which we can define as $q = [\text{pb}^{2+}]_{\text{initial}} \cdot [\text{f}^- ]^2_{\text{initial}}$ then, we can interpret q as the product of the concentration of the ions that we have and ksp as the product of the ion concentrations that are needed to form a saturated solution.if q > ksp, then that implies that there will be a surplus of ions that exceed the amount that is required to form a saturated solution. a precipitate will then form (the precipitate continually forms until the surplus ions are removed and q is decreased to ksp's value).if q = ksp, the saturated solution that forms is barely saturated and the precipitate will be minimal.if q < ksp, then the ion concentration will not be enough to form a saturated solution (so no precipitate).using our information, we calculate the trial ion product: $\begin{aligned} q & = [\text{pb}^{2+}]_{\text{initial}} \cdot [\text{f}^- ]^2_{\text{initial}} \\ & = (1.9 \times 10^{-3} ) (3.8\times 10^{3})^2 \\ & = 2.7 \times 10^{-8} \end{aligned}$ since q = 2.7 × 10⁻⁸ < ksp = 4 × 10⁻⁸, a precipitate will not form.
