Answer:

C3H6O2

Explanation:

To find the empirical formula of the compound, we divide the amount in moles of each of the elements by the amount in mole of the element with the smallest number of mole. In this question, the element with the smallest number of moles is oxygen with 1.36 mole. Hence, we divide the number of moles of each element by this.

H = 4.10/1.36 = 3

O = 1.36/1.36 = 1

C = 2.05/1.36 = 1.5

We then multiply through by 2 to yield the compound with the empirical formula C3H6O2

Ethyl alcohol is produced by the fermentation of glucose, C6H12O6. C6H12O6 (s) → 2 C2H5OH (l) + 2 CO2 (g) ΔH° = – 69.1 kJ Given
Norma-Jean [14]

Answer:

-1273.3

Explanation:

Enthalpy of formation of a compound is the amount of heat absorbed or evolved when one mole of the compound is formed from other compounds.

enthalpy of formation Of CO2 = 2 X -393.5 = -787

enthalpy of formation Of C2H5OH = 2 X -277.7 = -555.4

enthalpy of formation Of C6H12O6 = 69.1 (reverse sign) + (-787 + -555.4) = - 1273.3 Joules

Arsenic produces a blue flame when heated. Calcium produces an orange-red flame. Which of these best explains why this differenc
MrMuchimi

Flame colors are produced from the movement of the electrons in the metal ions present in the compounds. When you heat it, the electrons gain energy and can jump into any of the empty orbitals at higher levels Each of these jumps involves a specific amount of energy being released as light energy, and each corresponds to a particular color. As a result of all these jumps, a spectrum of colored lines will be produced. The color you see will be a combination of all these individual colors.

identify the element in period 3 that requires the least amount of energy to remove the most loosely held electrons from a mole
OLga [1]

Answer:

The element is Na

Explanation:

Ionization energy is the energy needed to release the last electron from an atom in its ground state to the gaseous state.  It is a periodic property that increases as we go through the periods of the periodic table, but decreases if we move in groups.  Sodium has thr ionic radius (another periodic property) that is too large, making it easier to release the electron away, since it is too far from the nucleus.

Calculate the molality of 2.0 M MgCl2 solution. The density of the solution is 1.127 g/mL. (The molar mass of MgCl2 = 95.211 g/m
Elan Coil [88]

The answer is 2.135 mol/Kg

Given that molarity is 2M, that is, 2 moles in 1 liter of solution.

Density of solution is 1.127 g/ml

Volume of solution is 1L or 1000 ml

mass of solution (m) = density × volume

m₁ = density × volume = 1.127 × 1000 = 1127 g

mass of solute, m₂ = number of moles × molar mass

m₂ = 2 × 95.211

m₂ = 190.422 g

mass of solvent = m₁ - m₂

= 1127 - 190.422

= 936.578 g

= 0.9366 Kg

molality = number of moles of solute / mass of solvent (in kg)

= 2 / 0.9366

= 2.135 mol/Kg

Like many other organic solvents we will use this semester, ethanol is flammable and caution needs to be exercised when heating
laiz [17]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

A flammable solvent refers to a solvent that catches fire easily. The precautions to be taken when working with flammable solvents are;

1) heat the solvent at a low to medium hot plate setting.

2) if you need to boil the solvent, use a condenser rather than a flask or beaker without a cover.

3) make sure that the hotplate is larger than the vessel containing the mixture that is being heated.

4) do not use strong oxidizing agents
