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

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

3 ( C₂H₆O)

The result is the empirical formula C₂H₆O

A sample of hydrogen was collected by water displacement at 23.0°C and an atmospheric pressure of 735 mmHg. Its volume is 568 mL

ziro4ka [17]

Answer:

V = 552 mL or 0.552 L

Explanation:

First, we need to calculate the number of moles of H2 using the ideal gas equation which is:

PV = nRT

Solving for n:

n = PV / RT

Where:

P = Pressure

V = Volume

R = Gas constant (0.082 L atm / K mol)

T = Temperature in K

Let's convert first both pressure in atm, remember that 1 atm = 760 mmHg

P = 735 / 760 = 0.967 atm

Pwater = 21 / 760 = 0.028 atm

Finally temperature to Kelvin:

T = 23 + 273.15 = 296.15 K

Now, at first the hydrogen was collected by water displacement so pressure is:

P = 0.967 - 0.028 = 0.939 atm

Now the moles of hydrogen:

n = 0.939 * 0.568 / 0.082 * 296.15

n = 0.022 moles

Now that we have the moles, let's calculate the volume when the pressure is 735 mmHg

V = nRT/P

V = 0.022 * 0.082 * 296.15 / 0.967

V = 0.552 L or 552 mL

This is the volume that hydrogen occupies.

1. john needs to create a buffered solution at a ph of 3.5 for his biomedical laboratory

Lunna [17]

Answer:

Use a ratio of 0.44 mol lactate to 1 mol of lactic acid

Explanation:

John could prepare a lactate buffer.

He can use the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation to find the acid/base ratio for the buffer.

$\text{pH} = \text{pK}_{\text{a}} + \log\dfrac{\text{[A$^{-}$]}}{\text{[HA]}}\\\\3.5 = 3.86 + \log\dfrac{\text{[A$^{-}$]}}{\text{[HA]}}\\\\\log\dfrac{\text{[A$^{-}$]}}{\text{[HA]}} = 3.5 - 3.86 = -0.36\\\\\dfrac{\text{[A$^{-}$]}}{\text{[HA]}} = 10^{-0.36} = \mathbf{0.44}$

He should use a ratio of 0.44 mol lactate to 1 mol of lactic acid.

For example, he could mix equal volumes of 0.044 mol·L⁻¹ lactate and 0.1 mol·L⁻¹ lactic acid.

As photosynthesis occurs in chloroplasts, O2 is produced from _____ via a series of reactions associated with _____. View Availa

Monica [59]

Answer:

H₂O, Photosystem II

Explanation:

Photosynthesis is the process that enables autotrophs such as green plants and algae to generate food using water, carbon dioxide and energy from the sun.
It occurs in two phases, that is, the light-dependent phase and the light-independent phase.
During photosystem II energy from the sun is used to break-down water molecules to yield oxygen and hydrogen ions. Oxygen is released away to the atmosphere while hydrogen ions are used in the next phase to generate ATP molecules.

The unsaturated hydrocarbon butadiene (C4H6) dimerizes to 4-vinylcyclohexene (C8H12). When data collected in studies of the kine

UkoKoshka [18]

Answer:

The dimerization of butadiene to 4-vinylcyclohexene folows second order kinetics and its rate law will be given by :

$R=k[C_4H_6]^2$

Explanation:

$2C_4H_6\rightarrow C_8H_{12}$

The rate of the reaction ;

$R=k[C_4H_6]^x$

As given in the question , that graph of time verses $\frac{1}{[C_4H_6]}$ was linear but plots of $[C_4H_6]$ or $\ln[C_4H_6]$ was curved.

Generally:

Graph of time verses $[concentration]$ for zero order reaction is linear with negative slope.

Graph of time verses $\ln [concentration]$ for secon order reaction is linear with negative slope.

Graph of time verses $\frac{1}{[concentration]}$ for secon order reaction is linear with positive slope.

So, the dimerization of butadiene to 4-vinylcyclohexene folows second order kinetics and its rate law will be given by :

$R=k[C_4H_6]^2$
