The emperical formula of compound is calculated as:

Atomic ratio for Carbon, $C$ :

$atomic ratio = \frac{46}{12} = 3.833$

Atomic ratio for Hydrogen, $H$ :

$atomic ratio = \frac{7.8}{1} = 7.8$

Atomic ratio for Chlorine, $Cl$ :

$atomic ratio = \frac{45.72}{35.5} = 1.29$

The simplest ratio is:

For Carbon = $\frac{3.833}{1.29} = 2.97 \simeq 3$

For Hydrogen = $\frac{7.8}{1.29} = 6.05 \simeq 6$

For Chlorine = $\frac{\1.29}{1.29} = 1$

So, the emperical formula of the compound is $C_3H_6Cl$ .

For determining the molecular formula:

$n = \frac{Molar Mass}{Emperical Formula Mass}$

Molar Mass = $155.06 g/mol$

Emperical Formula Mass = $C_3H_6Cl = 12\times 3+1\times 6+35.5 = 77.5 g/mol$

Substituting the values,

$n = \frac{155.06 g /mol}{77.5 g /mol} = 2$

Since, $Molecular Formula = (Emperical Formula)_{n}$ so, the molecular formula is:

$(C_3H_6Cl)_{2} = C_6H_{12}Cl_2$

Answer:- Molecular formula of the compound is $C_6H_1_2Cl_2$ .

Solution:- From given information:

C = 46.47%

H = 7.80%

Cl = 45.72%

First of all we find out the empirical formula from given percentages. We divide the given percentages by their respective atomic masses to calculate the moles:

$C=\frac{46.47}{12.01}$ = 3.87

$H=\frac{7.80}{1.01}$ = 7.72

$Cl=\frac{45.72}{35.45}$ = 1.29

Now, we divide the moles of each by the least one of them. Least one is Cl as it's moles are least as compared to the moles of C and H. So, let's divide the moles of each by 1.29.

$C=\frac{3.87}{1.29}$ = 3

$H=\frac{7.72}{1.29}$ = 6

$Cl=\frac{1.29}{1.29}$ = 1

So, the empirical formula of the compound is $C_3H_6Cl$ .

Empirical formula mass = 3(12.01) + 6(1.01) + 1(35.45)

= 36.03 + 6.06 + 35.45

= 77.54

To calculate the number of formula units we divide molar mass by empirical formula mass.

number of empirical formula units = $\frac{155.06}{77.54}$

= 2

So, the molecular formula would be two times of empirical formula that is, $C_6H_1_2Cl_2$ .

Describe how you could determine the specific heat of a sample of a solid substance. You may assume that the substance does not

lesya692 [45]

<span>I would measure the mass of the solid substance. I would prepare a known mass of room temperature water large enough to submerge the solid substance in question. I would place the water in an insulated container. Then I would heat the solid substance to a known temperature. I would measure the temperature of the heated sample and the water. Then I would submerge the sample in the water and allow the sample and the water to reach the same temperature. I would measure this equilibrium temperature. I would interpret the difference in temperature between the heated sample and the equilibrium temperature as the change in temperature in the sample. Given the known mass, the beginning temperature of the water, and the equilibrium temperature I can determine how much energy was transferred from the heated sample to the water. Now the mass of the sample, a change in temperature in the solid substance, and the amount of energy transferred to create the temperature is known. This is sufficient to determine the specific heat of the solid substance</span>

The combustion of 0.374 kg of methane in the presence of excess oxygen produces 0.983 kg of carbon dioxide. What is the percent

anyanavicka [17]

Assuming that the combustion formula is
CH4 + 2O2 --> 2H2O + CO2<span>,

That means for every 1 molecule of methane(CH4) there will be one molecule of carbon dioxide(</span>CO2) produced. Methane molecular weight 16, carbon dioxide molecular weight is 44. Then the percent yield should be:
1 * (0.374/ 16) /(0.983/44)= 0.374*44/ 0.983 * 16= 104.6%

You sure the number is correct? Percent yield should not exceed 100%

6.0 g of a certain Compound X, known to be made of carbon, hydrogen and perhaps oxygen, and to have a molecular molar mass of 13

vodomira [7]

<u>Answer:</u>

<em>The molecular formula of X is given as $C_7 H_6 O_3$ </em>

<em></em>

<u>Explanation:</u>

$Moles $C O_{2}=\frac{\text { mass }}{\text { molar mass }}=\frac{13.39 \mathrm{g}}{44.01 \mathrm{g} \text { per mole }}=0.304 \mathrm{mol}$\\\\moles $\mathrm{C}=$ moles $\mathrm{CO}_{2}=0.304 \mathrm{mol}$$

$mass $C=$ moles $\times$ molar mass $=0.304 \mathrm{mol} \times 12 \frac{g}{m o l}=3.65g$\\\\moles $\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}=\frac{2.35 \mathrm{g}}{18.02 \mathrm{g} \text { permole }}=0.130 \mathrm{mol}$\\\\moles $\mathrm{H}=2 \times$ moles $\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}=0.130 \times 2=0.260 \mathrm{mol}$\\\\Mass $\mathrm{H}=0.260 \mathrm{mol} \times 1.008 \frac{g}{\mathrm{mol}}=0.262 \mathrm{g}$$

mass O = Total mass of the compound - (mass of C + mass of H)

=6.0 g - ( 3.65 + 0.262 ) g

=2.09 g

$moles $O=\frac{2.09 g}{16 g \text { per mole }}=0.131 \mathrm{mol}$$

Least moles is for O that is 0.131mol and dividing all by the least we get

$\begin{aligned} C &=\frac{0.304}{0.131}=2.3 \\\\ H &=\frac{0.260}{0.131}=2 \\\\ O &=\frac{0.131}{0.131}=1 \end{aligned}$

Since 2.3 is a fraction it has to be converted to a whole number so we multiply all the answers by 3

$\\$C 2.3 \times 3=7$\\\\$H 2 \times 3=6$\\\\$O 1 \times 3=3$$

So the empirical formula is $C_7 H_6 O_3$

Empirical formula mass

$=(7 \times 12) +(6\times1.008)+(3\times16)=138.048g$

$n=\frac{\text { molar mass }}{\text { empirical formula mass }}=\frac{138}{138.048}=1$

Molecular formula =n × empirical formula

$=1 \times C_7 H_6 O_3$

Compound X = $C_7 H_6 O_3$ is the Answer

blondinia [14]

Answer:

It's explained below.

Explanation:

An everyday situation is when we raise an object.

Now, when we raise an object, energy is transferred to the Earth object system and thus the gravitational field energy of the system will increase.

Now, this energy is usually released when the object falls. The mechanism of this release is known as gravitational force.

In the same manner, two magnetic and electrically charged objects that are interacting at a distance will exert forces on each other and this can lead to transfer of energy between the interacting objects.
