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

Which of the following statements are True about the experimental process used in the Diels Alder reaction?
vovikov84 [41]

Here we have to get the correct statements among the given, applicable for Diels-Alder reaction.

The true statements in case Diels-Alder reaction are-

1. An excess of Maleic anhydride is used.

2. The I.R. of the products are indistinguishable.

The Diels-Alder reaction is the most is the most important cyclo-addition reaction in organic chemistry. These are addition reactions in which ring systems are formed without eliminating any compounds.

There remains one diene and one dienophile. The reaction is reversible in nature and requires elevated temperature to obtain its transition state. The reaction rate become faster in certain condition like using of polar solvents.

Among the given statements the following statements are true-

1. An excess of maleic anhydride (the most effective di-enophile) is used to process the reaction in forward direction.

2. The products obtain in this reaction are stereoisomers thus are indistinguishable by infrared spectroscopy (IR).

The statements which are not true for the Diels-Alder reaction:

3. The re-crystallization of the products by any polar solvent like methanol is not feasible as it will cause the retro reaction due to stability of the transition state in polar solvent.

4. Cleaning of glassware are compulsory for any reaction it is not specifically true for Diels-Alder reaction.

5. The reaction occurs at elevated temperature thus flame is required.

why is it less effective to wash an insoluble precipitate with 15 ml of water once than it is to wash the precipitate with 3 ml
MArishka [77]

It is less effective to wash an insoluble precipitate with 15 ml of water once than it is to wash the precipitate with 3 ml of water 5 times because commonly, when you clean an <span>indissoluble precipitate with water, the water will not be completely saturated with contaminates. Therefore, the absorption of the contaminates would lower with each wash, since if you only washed it once with a bigger amount or volume of water, it’d become less contaminated with the wash water but it wouldn’t get rinsed numerous times.</span>

14. What is the pH of a 0.24 M solution of sodium propionate, NaC3H502, at 25°C? (For
Murrr4er [49]

Answer:

9.1

Explanation:

Step 1: Calculate the basic dissociation constant of propionate ion (Kb)

Sodium propionate is a strong electrolyte that dissociates according to the following equation.

NaC₃H₅O₂ ⇒ Na⁺ + C₃H₅O₂⁻

Propionate is the conjugate base of propionic acid according to the following equation.

C₃H₅O₂⁻ + H₂O ⇄ HC₃H₅O₂ + OH⁻

We can calculate Kb for propionate using the following expression.

Ka × Kb = Kw

Kb = Kw/Ka = 1.0 × 10⁻¹⁴/1.3 × 10⁻⁵ = 7.7 × 10⁻¹⁰

Step 2: Calculate the concentration of OH⁻

The concentration of the base (Cb) is 0.24 M. We can calculate [OH⁻] using the following expression.

[OH⁻] = √(Kb × Cb) = √(7.7 × 10⁻¹⁰ × 0.24) = 1.4 × 10⁻⁵ M

Step 3: Calculate the concentration of H⁺

We will use the following expression.

Kw = [H⁺] × [OH⁻]

[H⁺] = Kw/[OH⁻] = 1.0 × 10⁻¹⁴/1.4 × 10⁻⁵ = 7.1 × 10⁻¹⁰ M

Step 4: Calculate the pH of the solution

We will use the definition of pH.

pH = -log [H⁺] = -log 7.1 × 10⁻¹⁰ = 9.1
