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?
