Answer:

The empirical formula of compound is C₂H₆O.

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of carbon = 12 g

Mass of hydrogen = 3 g

Mass of oxygen = 8 g

Empirical formula of compound = ?

Solution:

First of all we will calculate the gram atom of each elements.

no of gram atom of carbon = 12 g / 12 g/mol = 1 g atoms

no of gram atom of hydrogen = 3 g / 1 g/mol = 3 g atoms

no of gram atom of oxygen = 8 g / 16 g/mol = 0.5 g atoms

Now we will calculate the atomic ratio by dividing the gram atoms with the 0.5 because it is the smallest number among these three.

          C:H:O  =     1/0.5  :   3/0.5  :   0.5/0.5

          C:H:O  =     2      :     6      :     1

The empirical formula of compound will be C₂H₆O

A sample of a compound of Cl and O reacts with an excess of H2 to give 0.233g of HCl and 0.403g of H2O. Determine the empirical
Vsevolod [243]

Answer:

Cl₂O₇

Explanation:

For the reaction:

ClₓOₙ + H₂ → HCl + H₂O

Moles of HCl and moles of H₂O are:

HCl: 0.233g HCl ₓ (1mol / 36.46g) = 6.39x10⁻³ mol HCl

H₂O: 0.403g H₂O ₓ (1mol / 18.02g) = 2.236x10⁻² mol H₂O

As you can see, moles of HCl are equivalent to moles of Cl in the compound and moles of H₂O are equivalent to moles of O in the compound, that means:

6.39x10⁻³ mol Cl

2.236x10⁻² mol O

Empirical formula is the simplest ratio of atoms presents in a molecule. If Cl is <em>1</em>, Oxygen will be:

2.236x10⁻² mol / 6.39x10⁻³ = <em>3.5</em>

As empirical formula must be given in natural numbers, the empirical formula is:

<em>Cl₂O₇</em>

What is water's density at 93 ∘C? Assume a constant coefficient of volume expansion. Express your answer with the appropriate un
Ganezh [65]

Answer:

982.5 kg/m³

Explanation:

When the temperature of a fluid increases, it dilates, and because of the variation of the volume, it's density will vary too. The density can be calculated by the expression:

ρ₁ = ρ₀/(1 + β*(t₁ - t₀))

Where ρ₁ is the final density, ρ₀ the initial density, β is the constant coefficient of volume expansion, t₁ the final temperature, and t₀ the initial temperature.

At t₀ = 4°C, the water desity is ρ₀ = 1,000 kg/m³. The value of the constant for water is β = 0.0002 m³/m³ °C, so, for t₁ = 93°C

ρ₁ = 1,000/(1 + 0.0002*(93 - 4))

ρ₁ = 1,000/(1+ 0.0178)

ρ₁ = 982.5 kg/m³

Answer:

Explanation:

The lewis structure (indicating all the atoms and patterns provided as hint in the question) of glycine can be seen in the attachment below. While the chemical structure of glycine can be seen below

Mazyrski [523]
<span>The elements in a Periodic Table are grouped according to their classifications. The major classifications are Metals, Non-metals, and Metalloids. Their level of reactivity can be gauged by simply looking at their position in the table. For Metals, their reactivity increases as you move to the left then going down. Non-metal reactivity increases as you move to the right then going up, starting at the bottom of the table.</span>
