Answer:

The empirical formula is CH2O, and the molecular formula is some multiple of this

Explanation:

In 100 g of the unknown, there are 40.0⋅g12.011⋅g⋅mol−1 C;  6.7⋅g1.00794⋅g⋅mol−1 H; and  53.5⋅g16.00⋅g⋅mol−1 O.

We divide thru to get, C:H:O = 3.33:6.65:3.34. When we divide each elemental ratio by the LOWEST number, we get an empirical formula of CH2O, i.e. near enough to WHOLE numbers. Now the molecular formula is always a multiple of the empirical formula; i.e. (EF)n=MF.So 60.0⋅g⋅mol−1=n×(12.011+2×1.00794+16.00)g⋅mol−1.Clearly n=2, and the molecular formula is 2×(CH2O) = CxHyOz.

Answer:

Copper(II) sulphate – sodium hydroxide reaction

The reaction between copper(Il) sulphate and sodium hydroxide solutions is a good place to start. If you slowly add one to the other while stirring, you will get a precipitate of copper(II) hydroxide, Cu(OH)2.

What is difference between ∆H and ∆H°
Elena-2011 [213]

If it is shown as ∆H , then it means that a specific chemical reaction is undergoing heat in Kelvin(K). If it is shown as ∆H° , then it means that a specific chemical reaction is undergoing heat in Celsius(C⁰).

Hope this is the answer you are looking for mate!

If it is correct then please mark my answer as the brailiest! :)
