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

What is the mass of 0.5 moles of carbon tetrafluoride, CF4?
VashaNatasha [74]

Answer:

44 g

Explanation:

The formula for the number of moles (n) is equal to n=\frac{mass}{molecular weight} .

Since we need to find the mass, we derive it from the formula of the number of moles and we get that mass = n x molecular weight .

The molecular weight of CF_{4} = 12 g/mol (from the carbon) + 19x4 g/mol (from the 4 fluorine atoms)= 88 g/mol

We plug in the numbers in the derived formula for the mass and we get :

mass = n x molecular weight = 0.5 mol x 88 g/mol = 44 g

Which is the correct statement regarding the relative Rf values of the starting methyl benzoate vs the product, methyl m-nitrobe
Marianna [84]

Answer:

1. The product has a higher Rf value on a silica gel TLC plate because it is more polar than the starting methyl benzoate.

2. False

3. True

Explanation:

In chromatography, there is a stationary phase and a mobile phase. The ratio of the distance moved by a component and the distance moved by the solvent gives the retention factor (Rf).

Since silica gel is a polar solvent, it will retain the more polar product methyl m-nitrobenzoate compared to the methyl benzoate starting material.

In comparing the electrophillic aromatic substitution of m-nitrobenzoate  and methyl benzoate, we must remember that the presence of electron withdrawing groups (such as -NO2 and -CHO) on the aromatic compound deactivates the compound towards electrophillic aromatic substitution hence, methyl m-nitrobenzoate is less reactive than methyl benzoate in Electrophilic Aromatic Substition and Methyl benzoate is less reactive than benzene in Electrophilic Aromatic Substition

25.0 mL of an HBr solution were titrated with 29.15 mL of a 0.205 M LiOH solution to reach the equivalence point. What is the mo
krok68 [10]

HBr reacts with LiOH and forms LiBr and H₂O as the products. The balanced reaction is

LiOH(aq) + HBr(aq) → LiBr(aq) + H₂O(l)

Molarity (M) = moles of solute (mol) / volume of the solution (L)

Molarity of LiOH = 0.205 M

Volume of LiOH = 29.15 mL = 29.15 x 10⁻³ L

Hence,

moles of LiOH = molarity x volume of the solution

= 0.205 M x 29.15 x 10⁻³ L

= 5.97575 x 10⁻³ mol

The stoichiometric ratio between LiOH and HBr is 1 : 1.

Hence,

moles of HBr in 25.0 mL = moles of LiOH added

= 5.97575 x 10⁻³ mol

Hence, molarity of HBr = 5.97575 x 10⁻³ mol / 25.00 x 10⁻³ L

= 0.23903 M

≈ 0.239 M

Hence, the molarity of the HBr is 0.239 M.
