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

The successive ionization energies of a certain element are I1 = 589.5 kJ/mol, I2 =1145 kJ/mol, I3= 4900 kJ/mol, I4 = 6500 kJ/mo
Gnom [1K]

Answer:

As

Explanation:

For any element to exhibit the pattern of ionization energy shown in the question, it must possess five electrons in its outermost shell. These five electrons are not lost at once. They are lost progressively until the valence shell becomes empty. The ionization energy increases steadily as more electrons are lost from the valence shell.

The only pentavalent element among the options in arsenic, hence the answer.

The ksp of zinc carbonate (znco3 is 1.0 × 10–10. what is the solubility concentration of carbonate ions in a saturated solution
Trava [24]
Ksp - solubility product constant is equivalent to equilibrium constant, except this constant is used to determine the solubility of ions of a solid in a solution. 
ksp is the product of the soluble ions in the compound. Higher the ksp value, higher the degree of solubility.
ZnCO₃ (s) ---> Zn²⁺ (aq) +  CO₃²⁻ (aq)
                         n            n
ksp = [Zn²⁺][CO₃²⁻]
In the equation equal amounts of ions Zn²⁺ and CO₃²⁻ ions are soluble. 
amount of ions soluble = n
ksp is therefore equal to;
ksp = n x n
ksp = n²
ksp = 1 * 10⁻¹⁰ M
therefore 
1 * 10⁻¹⁰ M = n²
n = 1 x 10⁻⁵ M
therefore concentration of CO₃²⁻ = 1 x 10⁻⁵ M

Gold has always been a highly prized metal, and it has been widely used from the beginning of history as a store of value. It do
Greeley [361]

Answer: The balanced equation is

Au(s) + 3HNO3(aq) + 4HCl(aq) ---> HAuCl4(aq) + 3NO2(g) +3H2O(l)

The function of HCl in a solution of Aqua regia, that is used to dissolve gold is to dissolve other metals like quartz or iron stone that surround the gold.

Explanation: To balance the equation, we check the ratio of each element in the reacting side and the product side ( left and right hand side). Let their ratio be equal be adding moles to the compound of the element or the element it's self in either side of the equation.

HCl which is called hydrochloric acid, is an acid that does not react with gold, but it react with every other substance, like your skin, metals etc. it is used to clean a gold, by dipping the gold inside it, all the metals on the surface of the gold will dissolve.

When dissolving a gold in aqua regia solution, HCL is added to prepare this solution because it will help to dissolve all other substance on the surface of the gold.

What are the missing coefficients for the skeleton equation below? cr(s) + fe(no3)2(aq) → fe(s) + cr(no3)3(aq)?
strojnjashka [21]
SThe  missing   coefficient  for  the  skeleton   equation  below  is  as  follows

skeleton   equation

Cr(s)  +  Fe(No3)2(aq)  ------> Fe (s)   +  Cr(NO3)3  (aq)
the  missing  coefficient  are  is   as  follows

 2 Cr(s)   +  3  Fe(NO3)2  ---> 3 Fe (s)  +  2 Cr(NO3)3

This  is  obtained   by  making  sure  all  the   molecules  are  balanced  in  both  sides
