Answer:

            C₃H₈

Solution:

Step 1: Calculating Moles for each Element:

C  =  Mass of CO₂ × (1 mol of CO₂÷ M.Mass of CO₂) × (1 mol of C ÷ 1 mol of CO₂)

C  =  2.641 g × (1 mol of CO₂÷ 44.011 g.mol⁻¹) × (1 mol of C ÷ 1 mol of CO₂)

C =  0.0600 mol


H  =  Mass of H₂O × (1 mol of H₂O ÷ M.Mass of H₂O) × (2 mol of H ÷ 1 mol of H₂O)

H  =  1.442 g × (1 mol of H₂O ÷ 18.106 g.mol⁻¹) × (2 mol of H ÷ 1 mol of H₂O)

H =  0.159 mol

Step 2: Calculate the Smallest whole number ratio as,

                                  C                                                        H

                               0.0600                                               0.159

                       0.0600/0.0600                                  0.159/0.0600

                                    1                                                    2.654

Multiply ratio by 3,

                                    3                                                      7.96

Or,

                                    3                                                        ≈ 8

Result:

           Empirical Formula of Propane is C₃H₈

How many cycles of the synthesis pathway are needed to produce myristic acid, c13h27cooh?
Alenkasestr [34]
The primary cycle of fatty acid synthesis produces a four-carbon acyl group. Every following cycle adds a three-carbon malonyl group, which stretches off one molecule of CO2 (one carbon atom) in a condensation response. Thus, the net number of carbon atoms additional by each following cycle is two. For the reason that the first cycle makes a four-carbon chain, and each added cycle extends the chain by two carbon atoms, the second cycle fallouts in a six-carbon chain, the third cycle fallouts in an eight-carbon chain, and so on. And so, the synthesis of the 14-carbon myristic acid necessitates six repetitions.

Suppose you are titrating vinegar, which is an acetic acid solution of unknown strength, with a sodium hydroxide solution accord
Marina CMI [18]

Answer:

M_{acid}=0.563M

Explanation:

Hello there!

In this case, given the neutralization of the acetic acid as a weak one with sodium hydroxide as a strong base, we can see how the moles of the both of them are the same at the equivalence point; thus, it is possible to write:

M_{acid}V_{acid}=M_{base}V_{base}

Thus, we solve for the molarity of the acid to obtain:

M_{acid}=\frac{M_{base}V_{base}}{V_{acid}} \\\\ M_{acid}=\frac{33.98mL*0.1656M}{10.0mL}\\\\ M_{acid}=0.563M

Regards!

Jim takes 45 seconds to walk 180 meters north to a store what is jims meters per second
Delicious77 [7]
It would be 4 meters per second. With this you'd only have to take 180, ans divide 45 from it to finally get your answer! I hope all is well, and you end up passing. (:
