A catalyst is a substance that increases the rate of a chemical reaction by lowering the activation energy without itself being consumed by the reaction.

Combustion analysis of toluene, a common organic solvent, gives 3.52 mg of co2 and 0.822 mg of h2o. if the compound contains onl
IRISSAK [1]
<span>C7H8 First, lookup the atomic weight of all involved elements Atomic weight of carbon = 12.0107 Atomic weight of hydrogen = 1.00794 Atomic weight of oxygen = 15.999 Then calculate the molar masses of CO2 and H2O Molar mass CO2 = 12.0107 + 2 * 15.999 = 44.0087 g/mol Molar mass H2O = 2 * 1.00794 + 15.999 = 18.01488 g/mol Now calculate the number of moles of each product obtained Note: Not interested in the absolute number of moles, just the relative ratios. So not going to get pedantic about the masses involved being mg and converting them to grams. As long as I'm using the same magnitude units in the same places for the calculations, I'm OK. moles CO2 = 3.52 / 44.0087 = 0.079984 moles H2O = 0.822 / 18.01488 = 0.045629 Since each CO2 molecule has 1 carbon atom, I can use the same number for the relative moles of carbon. However, since each H2O molecule has 2 hydrogen atoms, I need to double that number to get the relative number of moles for hydrogen. moles C = 0.079984 moles H = 0.045629 * 2 = 0.091258 So we have a ratio of 0.079984 : 0.091258 for carbon and hydrogen. We need to convert that to a ratio of small integers. First divide both numbers by 0.079984 (selected since it's the smallest), getting 1: 1.140953 The 1 for carbon looks good. But the 1.140953 for hydrogen isn't close to an integer. So let's multiply the ratio by 1, 2, 3, 4, ..., etc and see what each new ratio looks like (Effectively seeing what 1, 2, 3, 4, etc carbons look like) 1 ( 1 : 1.140953) = 1 : 1.140953 2 ( 1 : 1.140953) = 2 : 2.281906 3 ( 1 : 1.140953) = 3 : 3.422859 4 ( 1 : 1.140953) = 4 : 4.563812 5 ( 1 : 1.140953) = 5 : 5.704765 6 ( 1 : 1.140953) = 6 : 6.845718 7 ( 1 : 1.140953) = 7 : 7.986671 8 ( 1 : 1.140953) = 8 : 9.127624 That 7.986671 in row 7 looks extremely close to 8. I doubt I'd get much closer unless I go to extremely high integers. So it looks like the empirical formula for toluene is C7H8</span>

An experiment produced 0.10 g CO2, with a volume of 0.056 L at STP. If the accepted density of CO2 at STP is 1.96 g/L, what is t
Pachacha [2.7K]
The density of CO2 getting from experiment is 0.1/0.056 = 1.79 g/L. The percent error of this is (1.96 -1.79)/1.96*100%=8.67%. So the approximate percent error is 8.67%.

In the biosynthetic pathway for folic acid, the compound PABA is the normal substrate for an enzyme in the pathway. The antibiot
ValentinkaMS [17]

Answer:

Inhibitor

Explanation:

Enzyme inhibitors are compounds that can interact with the enzyme but don't trigger any biological response. This is what sulfanilamide does. When the enzyme is bound to sulfanilamide, it stops being able to bind PABA, its normal substrate, and so it cannot perform its biological action. In consequence, the entire biosynthetic pathway for folic acid is stopped.

A filament of a light bulb is made from a pure sample of tungsten.
GenaCL600 [577]

Answer:

The correct options are:

1) Pure chemical substance

2) Element.

Explanation:

each of the term is explained below:

1) <u>Mixture: </u> Since tungsten is an element in periodic table thus it is not a mixture.

2) False by definition of mixture.

3) false by definition of mixture.

4) <u>Solution:</u> Tungsten in a filament is in solid form hence solution is incorrect.

5) Since it is given in the question itself that the sample is pure hence option 'E' is correct as chemical substance is a pure substance that has a homogeneous composition and the sample in the question is given as pure.

6) <u>Compound:</u> By definition of compound it is formed by mixing 2 or more elements but since tungsten is an element that occurs independently in nature hence it is not a compound.

7) Tungsten is a element in the periodic table with atomic number 74.
