Answer:

C₂H₂O₃

Explanation:

The empirical formula of a compound is derived bu finding the whole ratios of the constituent elements.

In succinic acid, the ratios of carbon to hydrogen to oxygen is calculated as follows:

<u>% mass</u>

Carbon- 40.60

Hydrogen - 5.18

Oxygen - 54.22

<u>RAM</u>

Carbon -12

Oxygen - 15.994

Hydrogen -1.008

<u>No of moles elements in the compound</u>

Carbon = 40.60/12=3.3833

Oxygen = 54.22/15.994= 3.39

Hydrogen= 5.18/1.008 = 5.1389

Mole ratios of the individual elements we divide by the smallest value of the number of moles.

Carbon: Hydrogen : Oxygen

3.3833/3.3833:3.39/3.3833:5.1389/3.3833

=1:1:1.5

We can multiply the value by 2 to get the whole number ratio.

=2:2:3

The empirical formula will be:

C₂H₂O₃

The equilibrium reaction below has the Kc = 4.00 at 25°C. If the temperature of the system at equilibrium is increased to 100°C,
professor190 [17]

Answer:

Following are the answer to this question:

Explanation:

In the given question information is missing, that is equation which can be defined as follows:

CH_4(g)+H_2O(g)\rightarrow CO(g)+3H_2(g)   \ \ \bigtraingleup H^0=+206.2KJ

  • Growing temperatures may change its connection to just the way which consumes thermal energy in accordance with Le chatelier concepts Potential connection is endothermic. Answer: shifts to the right  
  • Kc are described as a related to the concentration by the intensity of both the reaction for each phrase which reaches a power equal towards its stoichiometric equation coefficient  Kc = \frac{product}{reactant}   It increases [product] but reduces [reactant] Therefore, Kc increases

A bar of gold is 5.0mm thick, 10.0cm long and 2.0cm wide. It has a mass of exactly 193.0g. What is the desity of gold?
Tanzania [10]
<h3>Answer:</h3>

19.3 g/cm³

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

Density of a substance refers to the mass of the substance per unit volume.

Therefore, Density = Mass ÷ Volume

In this case, we are given;

Mass of the gold bar = 193.0 g

Dimensions of the Gold bar = 5.00 mm by 10.0 cm by 2.0 cm

We are required to get the density of the gold bar

Step 1: Volume of the gold bar

Volume is given by, Length × width × height

Volume =  0.50 cm × 10.0 cm × 2.0 cm

             = 10 cm³

Step 2: Density of the gold bar

Density = Mass ÷ volume

Density of the gold bar = 193.0 g ÷ 10 cm³

                                      = 19.3 g/cm³

Thus, the density of the gold bar is 19.3 g/cm³

A student obtained a clean flask. She weighed the flask and stopper on an analytical balance and found the total mass to be 34.2
DanielleElmas [232]

Answer:

25.99mL is the volume internal volume of the flask

Explanation:

<em>To complete the question:</em>

<em>The temperature of the water was measured to be 21ºC. Use this data to find the internal volume of the stoppered flask</em>

<em />

The flask was filled with water, that means the internal volume of the flask is equal to the volume that the water occupies.

To find the volume of the water you need to find the mass and by the use of density of water at 21ºC (0.997992g/mL), you can find the volume of the flask, thus:

Mass water = Mass filled flask - Mass of clean flask

Mass water = 60.167g - 34.232g

Mass water = 25.935g of water.

To convert this mass to volume:

25.935g × (1mL / 0.997992g) =

<h3>25.99mL is the volume internal volume of the flask</h3>

How many moles are in 8.30x10^23 molecules of H2o
LUCKY_DIMON [66]
You multiply avogadro's number to what you were given.
8.30x10^23 * 6. 0221409x10^23
=1.357*10^25

That should be the right answer but I'm not sure. It has been awhile since I have done this.

A 50.6 grams sample of magnesium hydroxide (Mg(OH)2) is reacted with 45.0 grams of hydrochloric acid (HCl). What is the theoreti
zysi [14]
            <span> Mg(OH)2(s) + 2HCl(aq) yield MgCl2(aq) + 2H2O(l)

grams HCl required = (50.6 grams Mg(OH)2) * (1 mol Mg(OH)2 / 58.3197 grams Mg(OH)2) * (2 mol HCl / 1 mol Mg(OH)2) * (36.453 grams HCl / 1 mol HCl) = 63.26 grams HCl required

Since there are only 45.0 grams HCl, then HCl is the limiting reactant.

theoretical yield MgCl2 = (45.0 grams HCl) * (1 mol HCl / 36.453 grams HCl) * (1 mol MgCl2 / 2 mol HCl) * (95.211 grams MgCl2 / 1 mol MgCl2) = 58.6 grams MgCl2 </span>
