The molecular formula for each of the following compound given the data is

  • C₂H₆
  • C₂H₂
  • C₄H₈Cl₂

<h3>A. How to determine the molecular formula </h3>

We'll begin by calculating the empirical formula. This can be obtained as follow:

  • C = 80%
  • H = 20%
  • Empirical formula =?

Divide by their molar mass

C = 80 / 12 = 6.67

H = 20 / 1 = 20

Divide by the smallest

C = 6.67 / 6.67 = 1

H = 20 / 6.67 = 3

Thus, the empirical formula of the compound CH₃

Thus, the molecular formula of the compound can be obtained as follow

  • Empirical formula = CH₃
  • Molar mass of compound = 30 g/mol
  • Molecular formula =?

Molecular formula = empirical × n = mass number

[CH₃]n = 30

[12 + (3×1)]n = 30

15n = 30

Divide both side by 15

n = 30 / 15

n = 2

Molecular formula = [CH₃]n

Molecular formula = [CH₃]₂

Molecular formula = C₂H₆

Thus, the molecular formula of the compound is C₂H₆

<h3>B. How to determine the molecular formula </h3>

We'll begin by calculating the empirical formula. This can be obtained as follow:

  • C = 92.3%
  • H = 7.7%
  • Empirical formula =?

Divide by their molar mass

C = 92.3 / 12 = 7.7

H = 7.7 / 1 = 7.7

Divide by the smallest

C = 7.7 / 7.7 = 1

H = 7.7 / 7.7 = 1

Thus, the empirical formula of the compound CH

Thus, the molecular formula of the compound can be obtained as follow

  • Empirical formula = CH
  • Molar mass of compound = 26 g/mol
  • Molecular formula =?

Molecular formula = empirical × n = mass number

[CH]n = 26

[12 + 1]n = 26

13n = 26

Divide both side by 13

n = 26 / 13

n = 2

Molecular formula = [CH]n

Molecular formula = [CH]₂

Molecular formula = C₂H₂

Thus, the molecular formula of the compound is C₂H₂

<h3>C. How to determine the molecular formula </h3>

We'll begin by calculating the empirical formula. This can be obtained as follow:

  • C = 37.5%
  • H = 6.3%
  • Cl = 55.8%
  • Empirical formula =?

Divide by their molar mass

C = 37.5 / 12 = 3.125

H = 6.3 / 1 = 6.3

Cl = 55.8 / 35.5 = 1.572

Divide by the smallest

C = 3.125 / 1.572 = 2

H = 6.3 / 1.572 = 4

Cl = 1.572 / 1.572 = 1

Thus, the empirical formula of the compound C₂H₄Cl

Thus, the molecular formula of the compound can be obtained as follow

  • Empirical formula = C₂H₄Cl
  • Molar mass of compound = 127 g/mol
  • Molecular formula =?

Molecular formula = empirical × n = mass number

[C₂H₄Cl]n = 127

[(2×12) + (4×1) + 35.5]n = 127

63.5n = 127

Divide both side by 63.5

n = 127 / 63.5

n = 2

Molecular formula = [C₂H₄Cl]n

Molecular formula = [C₂H₄Cl]₂

Molecular formula = C₄H₈Cl₂

Thus, the molecular formula of the compound is C₄H₈Cl₂

Use the half-reaction method to balance the equation for the conversion of ethanol to acetic acid in acid solution:CH₃CH₂OH + Cr
garik1379 [7]

Balanced chemical equation is 3CH₃CH₂OH + 2Cr₂O₇²⁻ + 16H⁺ → 3CH₃COOH + 4Cr³⁺ + 11H₂O.

<h3>What is Balanced Chemical Equation ?</h3>

The balanced chemical equation is the equation in which the number of atoms on the reactant side is equal to the number of atoms on the product side in an equation.

The chemical equation

CH₃CH₂OH + Cr₂O₇²⁻ → CH₃COOH + Cr³⁺

First assign the oxidation number for each atom in the equation.

\overset{+3}{C}\overset{+1}{H_3} \overset{-1}{C} \overset{+1}{H_2} \overset{-2}{O} \overset{+1}{H} + \overset{+6}{Cr_2} \overset{-2}{O_7} + \overset{+1}{H} \rightarrow \overset{+3}{C}\overset{+1}{H_3} \overset{+3}{C}\overset{-2}{O} \overset{-2}{O} \overset{+1}{H} + \overset{+3}{Cr}

Oxidation: C₂H₆O → C₂H₄O₂ + 4e⁻

Reduction: Cr₂O₇ + 6e⁻  → 2Cr⁺³

Now, balance the charge

Oxidation: C₂H₆O → C₂H₄O₂ + 4e⁻ + 4H⁺

Reduction: Cr₂O₇ + 6e⁻ + 14H⁺ → 2Cr⁺³

Now balance the oxygen atoms

Oxidation: C₂H₆O + H₂O → C₂H₄O₂ + 4e⁻ + 4H⁺

Reduction: Cr₂O₇ + 6e⁻ + 14H⁺ → 2Cr⁺³ + 7H₂O

Now, make electron gain equivalent to lost

Oxidation: C₂H₆O + H₂O → C₂H₄O₂ + 4e⁻ + 4H⁺ }  × 3

Reduction: Cr₂O₇ + 6e⁻ + 14H⁺ → 2Cr⁺³ + 7H₂O } × 2

Now,

Oxidation: 3C₂H₆O + 3H₂O → 3C₂H₄O₂ + 12e⁻ + 12H⁺

Reduction: 2Cr₂O₇ + 12e⁻ + 28H⁺ → 4Cr⁺³ + 14H₂O

Now, add the both equations

3CH₃CH₂OH + 2Cr₂O₇²⁻ + 16H⁺ → 3CH₃COOH + 4Cr³⁺ + 11H₂O

Thus from the above conclusion we can say that the balanced chemical equation is 3CH₃CH₂OH + 2Cr₂O₇²⁻ + 16H⁺ → 3CH₃COOH + 4Cr³⁺ + 11H₂O.

erik [133]
<span>Density is a value for mass, such as kg, divided by a value for volume, such as m3. Density is a physical property of a substance that represents the mass of that substance per unit volume. We calculate as follows:

PV = nRT
PV = mRT/ Molar mass
m/V = P(molar mass)/RT
Density = P(molar mass)/RT 
Density = 2.0 ( 30.97 ) / 0.08206 ( 20 + 273.15) = 2.57 g/L <----First option</span>

NARA [144]

Answer:

This question is incomplete

Explanation:

The question is incomplete because of the absence of the table but since the question says there are data from an investigation about a plant growth and five other plants (making six) of the same type, the best way to display this type of data for analyst is to use the grouped bar chart. <u>The grouped bar chart will display the data obtained (from an investigation on plant growth) from different students on each of the six plants (of the the same type)</u>.

Colours are usually used to identify the bars (of a group) or could be used to separate the group from other groups but in this case, colours are better used to identify the bars of a group.
