Determine the empirical formula of a compound containing 47.37 grams of carbon, 10.59 grams of hydrogen, and 42.04 grams of oxyg

en.
In an experiment, the molar mass of the compound was determined to be 228.276 g/mol. What is the molecular formula of the compound?

For both questions, show your work or explain how you determined the formulas by giving specific values used in calculations.

Okay so the trick is to find the number of moles of each compound you have:

Carbon: 47.37 g / (12.01 g/mol)  = 3.944

Hydrogen: 10.59/1.008 = 10.55

Oxygen: 42.04/16  = 2.6275

Now divide each my the smallest mole number which is oxygen.

3.944/2.6275 = 1.5

10.55/2.6275 = 4

2.6275/2.6275 = 1

So the integer ratio between C:H:O is 3:8:2.

That means the empirical fomrula of the compound is C3H8O2.

However, for the molecular formula, we have to look at the Molar Mass value given. since C3H8O2 has a molar mass of 12.01*3 + 1.008*8 + 16*2 = 76.094,

we can do 228.276/76.084 = 3. So that means the molecular formula of the compound is C9H24O6

Describe how transpiration and respiration show interactions among Earth's system
stepladder [879]

Earth has 4 systems/ spheres which are known as Lithosphere(land), Biosphere(living things), Hydrosphere(water) and Atmosphere(air).

Transpiration is the process that interact with the Hydrosphere and Respiration is the process that interacts with the Atmosphere.

Transpiration is the process happening in plants which absorb and distribute water through their roots and release water in the form of vapors through their leaves. As this process involves Water, therefore this process interacts with the Hydrosphere.  

Respiration is the process in which plants convert carbon dioxide to oxygen as a part of photosynthesis which was then inhaled by the animals. As this process involves Air, therefore this process interacts with the Atmosphere.

Even though we are well into the course Dumbledore notices some of the students are still having trouble with significant figure
Sphinxa [80]

Answer:

B) 2

Explanation:

Significant figures : The figures in a number which express the value -the magnitude of a quantity to a specific degree of accuracy is known as significant digits.

The rule apply for the multiplication and division is :

The least number of significant figures in any number of the problem determines the number of significant figures in the answer.

The rule apply for the addition and subtraction is :

The least precise number present after the decimal point determines the number of significant figures in the answer.

(3.478-2.31) = 1.168 ≅ 1.17 (Rounded to least decimal digit)

(4.428-3.56) = 0.868 ≅ 0.87 (Rounded to least decimal digit)

So,

1.17 * 0.87 = 1.0  (Rounded to least significant)

Answer - two significant digits

SO3 has how many regions of high electron density and how many bonded electrons when the octet rule is strictly obeyed?1.5; 142.
motikmotik

Answer:

3 regions of high electronic density

2 simple links

1 double bond

Explanation:

Hello!

First we calculate the total valence electrons that make up the molecule (6 + 6 * 3 = 24)

We locate six electrons forming the bonds and complete the octecs with the remaining 18 electrons.

We move 2 electrons of an oxygen to complete the sulfur octet.
