Answer:

We are given the formula of the compound:

C12H24O6

The empirical formula of a molecular formula is the lowest whole number ratio between the number of atoms of each element

The ratio of C to H to O in the given formula is :

12 : 24 : 6

we notice that all 3 of the numbers have 6 in common. Dividing all three of the numbers by 6, we get:

2 : 4 : 1

Hence, the ratio of Carbon to Hydrogen to Oxygen in the empirical formula of the given compound is 2 : 4 : 1 ,

Empirical Formula = C2H4O

The concentration of sodium chloride in an aqueous solution that is 2.23 M and that has a density of 1.01 g/mL is __________% by

amm1812

Answer:

The concentration of sodium chloride in an aqueous solution that is 2.23 M and that has a density of 1.01 g/mL is 12.90% by mass

Explanation:

2.23 M aqueous solution of NaCl means there are 2.23 moles of NaCl in 1000 mL of solution.

We know that density is equal to ratio of mass to volume.

Here density of solution is 1.01 g/mL.

So mass of 1000 mL solution = ( $1.01\times 1000$ ) g = 1010 g

molar mass of NaCl = 58.44 g/mol

So mass of 2.23 moles of NaCl = ( $2.23\times 58.44$ ) g = 130.3 g

% by mass is ratio of mass of solute to mass of solution and then multiplied by 100.

Here solute is NaCl.

So % by mass of 2.23 M aqueous solution of NaCl = $\frac{130.0}{1010}\times 100$ % = 12.90%

A student heats a sample of Copper (II) sulfate in a crucible and records the data shown in the table. What is the complete form

liberstina [14]

Explanation:

Copper (II) sulfate is usually present as a hydrous state, which is of the form CuSO4 * nH2O, where n is a whole number.

Mass of sample (CuSO4 * nH2O)

= 152.00g - 128.10g = 23.90g.

Mass of water loss during heating

= 152.00g - 147.60g = 4.40g.

Molar mass of H2O = 18g/mol

Moles of H2O in sample

= 4.40g / (18g/mol) = 0.244mol.

Mass of anhydrous sample (CuSO4)

= 23.90g - 4.40g = 19.50g

Molar mass of CuSO4 = 159.61g/mol

Moles of CuSO4 in sample

= 19.50g / (159.61g/mol) = 0.122mol.

Since mole ratio of CuSO4 to H2O

= 0.122mol : 0.244mol = 1:2, n = 2.

Hence we have CuSO4 * 2H2O.

Consider the complex ion [CO(NH3)6]3+. Which response contains all of the following statements that are true, and no false state

Alja [10]

Answer:

III, IV, and V

Explanation:

The complex [CO(NH3)6]3+ is a diamagnetic complex. It a low spin d^6 complex. Most d^6 complexes are low spin due to the higher crystal field stabilization energy of the low spin over the high spin arrangement.

d^6 metal complexes are known to be octahedral (a coordination number of 6 leads to octahedral geometry). Octahedral complexes does not have geometric isomers rather, may exist as the fac or her stereo isomers.
