Answer:

Molecular formula of the compound = H₂CO₃

Explanation:

First, the empirical formula of the compound is determined

Percentage by mass of each element is given as shown below:

H = 3.3% ; C = 19.9%; O = 77.4%

Mole ratio of the elements= percentage mass/ molar mass

H = 3.3/ 1 = 3.3

C = 19.3/12 = 1.6

O = 77.4/16 = 4.8

whole number ratio is obtained by dividing through with the smallest ratio

H = 3.3/1.6; C = 1.6/1.6; O = 4.8/1.6

H : C : O = 2 : 1 : 3

Empirical formula = H₂CO₃

Molecular formula/mass = n(empirical formula/mass)

60 = n(2*1 + 12*1 + 16*3)

60 = n(62)

n = 60/62 = 0.96

n is approximately = 1

Therefore, molecular formula of the compound = (H₂CO₃) * 1

Molecular formula of the compound = H₂CO₃

Place each charge form of alanine under the pH condition where it would be the predominant form. The pKa values for the carboxyl
damaskus [11]

Answer:

(A) pH < 1 the predominant form is the cation: H3C-C(H)(NH3+)-COOH  

(B) pH = pl the predominant form is the zwitterion H3C-C(H)(NH3+)-COO-

(C) pH > 11 the predominant form is the anion: H3C-C(H)(NH2)-COO-

(D) Does not occurs in any significant pH: H3C-C(H)(NH2)-COOH

Explanation:

Amino acids are bifunctional because they have an amine group and a carboxyl group. The amine group is a weak base and the carboxyl group is a weak acid, but the pKa of both groups will depend on the whole structure of the amino acid. Also, every amino acid has an isoelectric point (pI), which means the pH were the predominant form of the amino acid is the zwitterion. The structure of the alanine (CH3CH2NH2COOH) shows it has the carboxyl group at C1 with a pKa1 of 2.3  and the amino group at C2 whit the pKa2 of 9.7. The isoelectric poin (pI) of Alanine is 6. Consequently, the protonation of the molecule will depend on the pH of the solution. There are three possibilities:

1) If the pH is under the pKa of the carboxyl group (2.3) the predominant form will be with the amino group protonated, forming a cation (CH3CH(NH3+)COOH).

2) If the pH is between pKa1 (2.3) and pKa2 (9.7) the predominant form will be the zwitterion (CH3CH(NH3+)(COO-)).

3) If the pH is upper the pKa2 of the amino group (9.7) the predominant form will be with the carboxyl group deprotonated, forming an anion (CH3CHNH2(COO-)).

In the preceding information section there is a "bohr's diagram" of an atom. Which atom is it?
dsp73
Bohr's atomic model may have not been the accurate atomic model we have in the present, but he helped paved the way for accurate discoveries. His model is also called the planetary model. The nucleus, containing the neutrons and protons are situated at the center of the atom. The electrons are orbiting around the nucleus. The model is illustrated as shown in the attached picture.

. Calculate the mass of O2 produced if 3.450 g potassium chlorate is completely decomposed by heating in presence of a catalyst
Vesnalui [34]
 <span>2 KClO3(s) → 3 O2(g) + 2 KCl(s) 

</span><span>Note: MnO2 (Manganese Dioxide) is not part of the reaction. A catalyst lowers the activation energy and increases both forward and reverse reactions at equal rates. 
</span>
molar mass of KClO3 = 122.5
Moles of KClO3 =  3.45 / 122.55 = 0.028

Moles of O2 produce = \frac{3}{2} \times 0.028

= 0.042 moles

molar mass of O2 = 32

so, mass of O2 = 32 x 0.042  = 1.35 g

How many miles of Fe2+ ions and MnO4- ions were titrated in each part 1 trial
Fudgin [204]

Answer:

In 1000 ml there is 0.10 moles of Fe 2+

Therefore, in 10 ml there is (0.1/1000)*10= 0.001 mol of Fe2+

mole ratio for rxn Fe2+ : MnO4- is

1 : 2

therefore if 0.001 moles of Fe2+ react then 0.001*2 =0.002 moles of MnO4- react with Fe2+

hence, molarity of MnO4- = (mol*vol)/1000

= 0.002*10.75/1000= 2.15*10-5M

Explanation:

Hope this helps
