Carbon atoms are extremely small and are one of the only atoms that are structurally stable enough to form various different kinds of macromolecules.

What is the empirical formula for c12h24o6? what is the empirical formula for c12h24o6? ch2o cho c2h5o c2h4o cho2?
stira [4]

Empirical formula: The formula consist of proportions of the elements which is present in the compound or the simplest whole number ratios of atoms.

Now, molecular formula is equal to the product of n (ratio) and empirical formula.

Molecular formula = n\times empirical formula    (1)

molecular formula =C_{12}H_{24}O_{6} (given)

Since, 6 is the smallest subscript in above molecular formula to get the simpler whole number of atoms. Therefore, divide all the subscripts i.e. number of carbon atoms (12), number of hydrogen atoms (24) and number of oxygen atoms (6) by 6.

empirical formula becomes C_{2}H_{4}O

Thus, according to the formula (1)

C_{12}H_{24}O_{6} = 6\times C_{2}H_{4}O

Hence, empirical formula of given molecular formula is C_{2}H_{4}O

The progress of the reaction:
Blababa [14]

Answer:

The Equilibrium constant K is far greater than 1; K>>1

Explanation:

The equilibrium constant, K, for any given reaction at equilibrium, is defined as the ratio of the concentration of the products raised to their stoichiometric coefficients divided by the concentration of reactants raised to their stoichiometric coefficients.

It tells us more about how how bigger or smaller the concentration of products is to that of the reactants when a reaction attains equilibrium. From the given data, as the color of the reactant mixture (Br2 is reddish-brown, and H2 is colourless) fades, more of the colorless product (HBr is colorless) is being formed as the reaction approaches equilibrium. This indicates yhat the concentration of products becomes relatively higher than that of the reactants as the reaction progresses towards equilibrium, the equilibrium constant K, must be greater than 1 therefore.
