What is the empirical formula of C6H18O3?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Aloiza [94]2 years ago
7 0

Answer:

The answer to your question is C₂H₆O

Explanation:

Data

Molecular formula = C₆H₁₈O₃

Empirical formula = ?

Empirical formula is defined as the simplest ratio of the elements that form part of a molecule.

Process

To find the empirical formula find the greatest common factor of the subscripts.

                             6    18   3   2

                             3      9  3   3

                              1     3    1   3

                                     1

The GCF is 3, so factor 3 of the molecular formula

                         3 ( C₂H₆O)  

The result is the empirical formula C₂H₆O

Which is the first element to have 4d electrons in its electron configuration?
harkovskaia [24]
The first element to have 4d electrons in its electron configuration is Yttrium with an atomic number of 39 and the chemical symbol Y. The electron configuration of an atom refers to the distribution of its electrons in the atomic orbitals. These orbitals are represented by letters s,p,d,f and so on. The electron configuration of Yttrium is [Kr] 4d¹ 5s², wherein [Kr] refers to the electron configuration of the noble gas, Krypton.

Which of the following describes a scenario in which the molecular geometry would have the smallest bond angle(s)? (A) four bond
maw [93]

Answer: The correct answer is "B" two bonding domains(or bonding pairs) or two non bonding domains(or lone pairs)

Explanation:

Molecular geometry/structure is a three dimensional shape of a molecule. It is basically an arrangement of atoms in a molecule.It is determined by the central atom, its surrounding atoms and electron pairs.According to VSEPR theory, there are 5 basic shapes of a molecule: linear, trigonal planar, tetrahedral, trigonal bipyramidal and octahedral.

A)Four bonding domains and zero non bonding domains: shape is tetrahedral and bond angle is 109.5°

B)Two bonding domains and two non bonding domains(lone pairs): shape is bent and bond angle is 104.5°

C)Three bonding domains and one non bonding domain: shape is trigonal pyramidal and bond angle is 107°

D)Two bonding domain and zero non bonding domain: shape is linear and bond angle is 107°

E)Two bonding domain and one non bonding domain: bent shape and bond angle is 120°

F)Three bonding domains and zero nonbonding domain: shape is trigonal planar and bond angle is 120°

Hence Two bonding domains and two non bonding domains have the smallest bond angle.

What is the ph of a solution of 0.400 m k2hpo4, potassium hydrogen phosphate?
dusya [7]
When we can get Pka for K2HPO4 =6.86 so we can determine the Ka :

when Pka = - ㏒ Ka

          6.86 = -㏒ Ka 

∴Ka = 1.38 x 10^-7

by using ICE table:

               H2PO4- →  H+  + HPO4
initial      0.4 m            0         0

change     -X                +X       +X

Equ       (0.4-X)               X          X

when Ka = [H+][HPO4] / [H2PO4-]

by substitution:

1.38 X 10^-7 = X^2 / (0.4-X)   by solving for X

∴X = 2.3x 10^-4 

∴[H+] = X = 2.3 x 10^-4

∴PH = -㏒[H+]

        = -㏒ (2.3 x 10^-4)
 ∴PH  =  3.6
