Answer:

The empirical formula of this substance is:

C_3H_6O_2

Explanation:

To find the empirical formula of this substance we need the molecular weight of the elements Carbon, Hydrogen and Oxygen, we can find this information in the periodic table:

- C: 12.01 g/mol

- H: 1.00 g/mol

- O: 15.99 g/mol

With the information in this exercise we can suppose in 100 g of the substance we have:

C: 48.64 g

H: 8.16 g

O: 43.2 g (100 g - 48.64g - 8.16g= 43.2 g)

Now, we need to divide these grams by the molecular weight:

C=\frac{48.64g}{12.01 g/mol} =4.05 mol\\H=\frac{8.16g}{1.00g/mol}= 8.16 mol\\O=\frac{43.2g}{15.99 g/mol} = 2.70 mol

We need to divide these results by the minor result, in this case O=2.70 mol

C=\frac{4.05mol}{2.70mol}= 1.5\\H= \frac{8.16mol}{2.70 mol} = 3.02 \\O=\frac{2.70mol}{2.70mol} = 1

We need to find integer numbers to find the empirical formula, for this reason we multiply by 2:

C= 1.5*2=3\\H= 3.02*2= 6.04 \\O= 1*2=2

This numbers are very close to integer numbers, so we can find the empirical formula as  subscripts in the chemical formula:

C_3H_6O_2

How are exothermic and endothermic reactions linked in the process of refining metal ore?
Alex777 [14]
The intended sense is that of a reaction that depends on absorbing heat if it is to proceed. The opposite of an endothermic process is an exothermic process, one that releases "gives out" energy in the form of heat

24 how many moles are in 2.04 × 1024 molecules of h2o?
Sergeeva-Olga [200]
The answer is 3.39 mol.

<span>Avogadro's number is the number of molecules in 1 mol of substance.
</span><span>6.02 × 10²³ molecules per 1 mol.
</span>2.04 × 10²⁴<span> molecules per x.

</span>6.02 × 10²³ molecules : 1 mol = 2.04 × 10²⁴ molecules : x
x = 2.04 × 10²⁴ molecules * 1 mol : 6.02 × 10²³ molecules
x = 2.04/ 6.02 × 10²⁴⁻²³ mol
x = 0.339 × 10 mol
<span>x = 3.39 mol

Match the following names of glassware with what you would use them for.(1) Glassware used to accurately transfer small volumes.
Andrei [34K]

Answer:

(1)=(A), (2)=(B), (3)=D, (4)=C, (5)=E, (6)=F

Explanation:

(1) Glassware used to accurately transfer small volumes = (A) Graduated pipette, that is basically a glass tube with graduation of different volumes to be dispensed.

(2) Glassware used to accurately transfer a small, single volume = (B) Volumetric pipette, that is a glass tube with a central glass bulb and is used to dispense accurately an unique volume of liquid everytime.

(3) Glassware to deliver a volume not known in advance = (D) Buret (or burette), that is used to dispense slowly a volume of liquid when a titration process is needed

(4) Glassware best used when greater access to the contents is needed = (C) Beaker, that is basically a very open glass cylinder with a spout

(5) Glassware used to prevent splashing or evaporation = (E) Erlenmeyer flask, that has a small open at the top and is useful when the liquid needs to be swirled as, for example, during a titration.

(6) Glassware used to make accurate solutions = (F) Volumetric flask, that has a long slim neck that provides a higher accuracy when a exact volume of liquid needs to be used for preparation of a solution.
