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

A student pours exactly 26.9 mL of HCl acid of unknown molarity into a beaker. The student then adds 2 drops of the indicator an

a.
Acids react with bases and give salt and water and the products.

Hence, HCl reacts with NaOH and gives NaCl salt and H₂O as the products. The reaction is,
            HCl(aq) + NaOH(aq) → NaCl(aq) + H₂O(l)

To balance the reaction equation, both sides hould have same number of elements.

Left hand side,                                             Right hand side,
             
H atoms = 2                                               H atoms = 2
            Cl atoms = 1                                               Cl atoms = 1
            Na atoms = 1                                               Na atoms = 1 
           O atoms = 1                                                   O atoms = 1

Hence, the reaction equation is already balanced.

b. 
Molarity (M)= moles of solute (mol) / Volume of the solution (L)
 
          HCl(aq) + NaOH(aq) → NaCl(aq) + H₂O(l)

Molarity of NaOH = <span>0.13 M
</span>Volume of NaOH added = <span>43.7 mL
Hence, moles of NaOH added = 0.13 M x 43.7 x 10</span>⁻³ L
                                                 = 5.681 x 10⁻³ mol

Stoichiometric ratio between NaOH and HCl is 1 : 1

Hence, moles of HCl = moles of NaOH
                                    = 
5.681 x 10⁻³ mol

5.681 x 10⁻³ mol of HCl was in <span>26.9 mL.

Hence, molarity of HCl = </span>5.681 x 10⁻³ mol / 26.9 x 10⁻³ L
                                     = 0.21 M

An atom of beryllium (m = 8.00 u) splits into two atoms of helium (m = 4.00 u) with the release of 92.2 kev of energy. if the or
galben [10]
The kinetic energy of the products is equal to the energy liberated which is 92.2 keV. But let's convert the unit keV to Joules. keV is kiloelectro volt. The conversion that we need is: 1.602×10⁻¹⁹ <span>joule = 1 eV

Kinetic energy = 92.2 keV*(1,000 eV/1 keV)*(</span>1.602×10⁻¹⁹ joule/1 eV) = 5.76×10²³ Joules

From kinetic energy, we can calculate the velocity of each He atom:
KE = 1/2*mv²
5.76×10²³ Joules = 1/2*(4)(v²)
v = 5.367×10¹¹ m/s

Imagine that a new polyatomic anion called "platoate" is invented. What would an acid of "platoate" be named?
o-na [289]
<h3>Answer:</h3>

                   Platoic Acid

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

                        While naming Carboxylic Acids we know that when the Carboxylic Acid looses proton it is converted into corresponding conjugate base called as Carboxylate.

Examples:

                        HCOOH           →           HCOO⁻  +  H⁺

                     Formic acid                     Formate Ion

                    H₃CCOOH           →           H₃CCOO⁻  +  H⁺

                     Acetic acid                       Acetate Ion

                    H₅C₂COOH           →           H₅C₂COO⁻  +  H⁺

                 Propanoic acid                       Propanoate Ion

Therefore, if the conjugate base is Platoate then the corresponding acid will be Platoic Acid means we will replace the -ate by -ic acid <em>i.e.</em>

                   RCOO⁻  +  H⁺        →            RCOOH

                   Platoate Ion                         Platoic Acid
