Answer:

The answer to your question is  C₃H₄O₃

Explanation:

Data

CxHyOz

mass of sample = 0.150 g

mass of CO₂ = 0.225 g

mass of H₂O = 0.0614 g

Reaction

                     CxHyOz + O₂   ⇒   CO₂   + H₂O

Process

1.- Calculate the moles of C

                            44 g of CO₂ ----------------- 12 g of C

                            0.225 g    ---------------- x

                            x = (0.225 x 12) / 44

                            x = 0.0614 g of C

                            12 g of C -------------------- 1 mol

                           0.0614 g of C --------------- x

                                 x = 0.0051 moles of Carbon

2.- Calculate the moles of hydrogen

                            18 g of H₂O ------------------ 2 g of H

                             0.0614 g --------------- x

                             x = 0.0068 g of H

                             1 g of H ----------------------- 1 mol of H

                            0.0068 g --------------------- x

                             x = 0.0068 moles of H

3.- Calculate the mass of Oxygen

    Mass of oxygen = 0.150 - 0.0614 - 0.0068

                               = 0.0818 g

                       16 g of O -------------------  1 mol

                      0.0818 g -------------------- x

                         x = (0.0818 x 1) / 16

                         x = 0.0051 moles of O

4.- Divide by the lowest number of moles

Carbon       0.0051 / 0.0051  = 1

Hydrogen   0.0068 / 0.0051 = 1.33

Oxygen       0.0051 / 0.0051 = 1

Multiply these numbers by 3

Carbon 3

Hydrogen = 4

Oxygen = 3

5.- Write the empirical formula

                                      C₃H₄O₃

How many grams of copper (II) nitrate would be produced from 0.80 g of copper metal reacting with excess nitric acid?
zaharov [31]

Answer:

m_{Cu(NO_3)_2}=2.36 gCu(NO_3)_2

Explanation:

Hello!

In this case, since the chemical reaction between copper and nitric acid is:

2HNO_3+Cu\rightarrow Cu(NO_3)_2+H_2

By starting with 0.80 g of copper metal (molar mass = 63.54 g/mol) and considering the 1:1 mole ratio between copper and copper (II) nitrate (molar mass = 187.56 g/mol) we can compute that mass via stoichiometry as shown below:

m_{Cu(NO_3)_2}=0.80gCu*\frac{1molCu}{63.54gCu} *\frac{1molCu(NO_3)_2}{1molCu} *\frac{187.56gCu(NO_3)_2}{1molCu(NO_3)_2} \\\\m_{Cu(NO_3)_2}=2.36 gCu(NO_3)_2

However, the real reaction between copper and nitric acid releases nitrogen oxide, yet it does not modify the calculations since the 1:1 mole ratio is still there:

4HNO_3+Cu\rightarrow Cu(NO_3)_2+2H_2O+2NO_2

To determine the enthalpy and entropy of dissolving a compound, you need to measure the Ksp at multiple _______. Then, plot ln(K
Aloiza [94]

Answer:

To determine the enthalpy and entropy of dissolving a compound, you need to measure the Ksp at multiple temperatures. Then, plot ln(Ksp) vs. 1/T. The slope of the plotted line relates to the enthalpy (ΔH) of dissolving and the intercept of the plotted line relates to the entropy (ΔS) of dissolving.

Explanation:

Hello there!

In this case, according to the given information, it turns out possible for us use the thermodynamic definition of the Gibbs free energy and its relationship with Ksp as follows:

\Delta G=-RTln(Ksp)\\\\\Delta G=\Delta H-T\Delta S

Thus, by combining them, we obtain:

-RTln(Ksp)=\Delta H-T\Delta S\\\\ln(Ksp)=-\frac{\Delta H}{RT} +\frac{T\Delta S}{RT} \\\\ln(Ksp)=-\frac{\Delta H}{RT} +\frac{\Delta S}{R}

Which is related to the general line equation:

y=mx+b

Whereas:

y=ln(Ksp)\\\\m=-\frac{\Delta H}{R} \\\\x=\frac{1}{T} \\\\b=\frac{\Delta S}{R}

It means that we answer to the blanks as follows:

To determine the enthalpy and entropy of dissolving a compound, you need to measure the Ksp at multiple temperatures. Then, plot ln(Ksp) vs. 1/T. The slope of the plotted line relates to the enthalpy (ΔH) of dissolving and the intercept of the plotted line relates to the entropy (ΔS) of dissolving.

On the basis of chemical structure, which solid will most easily conduct electricity?
Marizza181 [45]

Answer:

Fe

Explanation:

The electrical conductivity depends mainly on the type of chemical bonds between the atoms of a compound.

In the case of MgF2, FeCl3 and FeO3, these have the type of ionic bond. This means that in the atoms of the compound there is an electron transfer, to keep eight electrons in the outermost layer and thus resemble the electronic configuration of the inert gas closest to each of the two elements, due to this ions of opposite charges are formed that are held together by electrostatic forces. These types of compounds are good conductors of electricity, however, to have this property, they must be dissolved in water or molten.

In the case of Fe, however, the type of union between atoms is metallic. In this type of junction, valence electrons are quite free inside the metal, which makes it easy for them to move. For this reason, this compound will conduct electricity in a solid state.

11.Liquid water changes to water vapor when it evaporates or boils. The gas inside the bubbles of boiling water is water vapor. Water vapor can change back into liquid water when it cools down. ... The “steam” you see is really tiny drops of liquid water that form when the water vapor cools.

12.Plastic pollution has become one of the most pressing environmental issues, as rapidly increasing production of disposable plastic products overwhelms the world’s ability to deal with them. Plastic pollution is most visible in developing Asian and African nations, where garbage collection systems are often inefficient or nonexistent. But the developed world, especially in countries with low recycling rates, also has trouble properly collecting discarded plastics. Plastic trash has become so ubiquitous it has prompted efforts to write a global treaty negotiated by the United Nations
