Question
Chapter 8, Problem 65E
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The molecular formula of lindane is to be stated if the molar mass of lindane is
Concept introduction:
The empirical formula of a compound gives the proportions of the elements present in the compound. It does not give the actual number of the atoms present in the compound. The actual formula, which is the molecular formula, is a multiple of the empirical formula.

- Uranium is used as a fuel, primarily in the form of uranium(IV) oxide, in nuclear power plants. This question considers some uranium chemistry. A small sample of uranium metal (0.169 g) is heated to 900 °C in air to give 0.199 g of a dark green oxide, UxOy. How many moles of uranium metal were used? What is the empirical formula of the oxide UxOy? What is the name of the oxide? How many moles of UxOy, must have been obtained? The oxide UxOy is obtained if UO2NO3 · n H2O is heated to temperatures greater than 800 °C in air. However, if you heat it gently, only the water of hydration is lost. If you have 0.865 g UO2NO3 · n H2O and obtain 0.679 g UO2NO3 on heating, how many molecules of water of hydration were there in each formula unit of the original compound?arrow_forwardAcetylene is a colorless gas used as a fuel in welding torches, among other things.

This question considers some uranium chemistry. (a) A small sample of uranium metal (0.169 g) is heated to between 800 and 900 C in air to give 0.199 g of a dark green oxide, UxOy How many moles of uranium metal were used? What is the empirical formula of the oxide, UxOy? What is the name of the oxide? How many moles of UxOy must have been obtained? (b) The naturally occurring isotopes of uranium are 234U, 235U, and 238U. Knowing that uraniums atomic weight is 238.02 g/mol, which isotope must be the most abundant? (c) If the hydrated compound UO2(NO3)2 z H2O is heated gently, the water of hydration is lost. If you have 0.865 g of the hydrated compound and obtain 0.679 g of UO2(NO3)2 on heating, how many waters of hydration are in each formula unit of the original compound?
