The empirical formula of a compound is the simplest ratio of components making up the compound.
In 100 g of compound,there's <span>66.6 g of C, 11.2 g of H and 22.2 g of O
lets calculate for 100 g of compound 
                              C                                 H                             O
mass </span>                    66.6 g                         11.2 g                      22.2 g
number of moles   66.6/12 g/mol           11.2/1 g/mol              22.2/ 16 g/mol
                               = 5.55 mol                =11.2 mol                 =1.3875 mol
 divide by the least number of moles 
                               5.55/1.3875              11.2/1.3875             1.3875/1.3875
                               = 4                             = 8.08                     = 1
round them off to the nearest whole number 
C - 4
H - 8
O - 1
Therefore empirical formula of compound is C₄H₈O

An air mass of volume 6.5 x 10 to the fifth L starts at sea level, where the pressure is 775 mm HG. It rises up a mountain where
lisabon 2012 [21]
From Boyle's law the volume of a fixed mass of a gas is inversely proportional to temperature at constant absolute temperature.
Thus, Vα1/P
    = V = k/P where k is a constant
P1V1=P2V2
Therefore; V2 = P1V1/P2
                       = ( 6.0 ×10^-5 × 775) /622
                       = 7.476 × 10^-5 L
Hence, the new volume of the air mass is 7.476 × 10^-5 L

Sodium carbonate (Na2CO3) is used to neutralize the sulfuric acid spill. How many kilograms of sodium carbonate must be added to
valina [46]

5.451 X 10³ kg of sodium carbonate must be added to neutralize 5.04×103 kg of sulfuric acid solution.

<u>Explanation</u>:

  • Sodium carbonate is used to neutralized sulfuric acid, H₂SO₄. Sodium carbonate is the salt of a strong base (NaOH) and weak acid (H₂CO₃). The balanced chemical reaction for neutralization is as follows:

                        Na₂CO₃ + H₂SO₄ ----> Na₂SO₄ + H₂CO₃

  • From a balanced chemical equation, it is clear that one mole of Na₂CO₃ is required to neutralize one mole of  H₂SO₄.
  • Molar mass of Na₂CO₃= 106 g/mol = 0.106 kg/mol and                                Molar mass of H₂SO₄= 98 g/mol = 0.098 kg/mol.
  • To neutralize 0.098 kg of H₂SO₄ amount of Na₂CO₃ required is 0.106 kg, so, To neutralize 5.04×10³ kg of H₂SO₄, Na₂CO₃ required is =  5.451 X 10³ kg.

How many iodide ions are present in 65.5ml of .210 m AlI3 solution
blondinia [14]

Answer:

2.48\times 10^{22} ions are present in solution.

Explanation:

Molarity of the solution = 0.210 M

Volume of the solution = 65.5 ml = 0.0655 L

Moles of aluminum iodide= n

Molarity=\frac{\text{Moles of compound}}{\text{Volume of the solution(L)}}

0.210M=\frac{n}{0.0655 L}

n = 0.013755 moles of aluminum iodide

1 mole of aluminum iodide contains 3 moles of iodide ions:

Then 0.013755 moles of aluminum iodide will contain:

3\times 0.013755 moles=0.041265 mol of iodide ions

Number of iodide ions in 0.041265 moles:

0.041265 mol\times 6.022\times 10^{23}=2.48\times 10^{22} ions

2.48\times 10^{22} ions are present in solution.

What is the mass of 3.35 mol Hg(IO3)2? 1,700 g 1,840 g 1,960 g 2,110 g
Tema [17]

Answer:- 1840 g.

Solution:- We have been given with 3.35 moles of Hg(IO_3)_2 and asked to calculate it's mass.

To convert the moles to grams we multiply the moles by the molar mass of the compound. Molar mass of the compound is the sum of atomic masses of all the atoms present in it.

molar mass of Hg(IO_3)_2 = atomic mass of Hg + 2(atomic mass of I) + 6(atomic mass of O)

= 200.59+2(126.90)+6(16.00)

= 200.59+253.80+96.00

= 550.39 gram per mol

Let's multiply the given moles by the molar mass:

3.35mol(\frac{550.39g}{1mol})

= 1843.8 g

Since, there are three sig figs in the given moles of compound, we need to round the calculated my to three sig figs also. So, on rounding off to three sig figs the mass becomes 1840 g.

Which will not appear in the equilibrium constant expression for the reaction below?
n200080 [17]

Answer:

[C] carbon solid

Explanation:

Pure solids and liquids are never included in the equilibrium constant expression because they do not affect the reactant amount at equilibrium in the reaction, thus since your equation has [C] as solid it will not be part of the equlibrium equation.
