89 A number of compounds containing the heavier noble gases, and especially xenon, have been prepared. One of these is xenon hexafluoride (XeF6), which can be prepared by heating a mixture of xenon and fluoride gases. XeF6 is a white crystalline solid at room temperature and melts at about 325 K. A mixture of 0.0600 g of Xe and 0.0304 g of F2 is sealed into a 100.0-mL bulb. (The bulb is heated, and the reaction goes to completion. Then the sealed bulb is cooled back to 20.0°C. What will be the final pressure in the bulb, expressed in torr?
Copper(I) iodide (CuI) is often added to table salt as a dietary source of iodine. How many moles of CuI Are contained in 1.00 lb (454 g) of table salt containing 0.0100% CuI by mass?
A binary compound of magnesium and nitrogen is analyzed, and 1.2791 g of the compound ¡s found to contain 0.9240 g of magnesium. When a second sample of this compound is treated with water and heated, the nitrogen is driven off as ammonia, leaving a compound that contains 60.31% magnesium and 39.69% oxygen by mass. Calculate the empirical formulas of the two magnesium compounds.
Fulgurites are the products of the melting that occurs when lightning strikes the earth. Microscopic examination of a sand fulgurite shows that it is a globule with variable composition that contains some grains of the definite chemical composition Fe 46.01%, Si 53.99%. Determine the empirical formula of these grains.
When analyzed, an unknown compound gave these experimental results: C, 54.0%; h, 6.00%; and O, 40.0%. Four different students used these values to calculate the empirical formulas shown here.
