Determine the empirical formula for a compound that is 64.8% C, 13.6% H, and 21.6% O by mass.

Answer:

C4H10O

In case it's not understandable: c four, h ten, no

Explanation:

Molar mass of each component: C = 12.0107, H = 1.00794, O = 15.9994

Convert to moles: C = 5.3951892895502, H = 13.492866638887, O=1.3500506268985

Find the smallest mole value: 1.3500506268985

Divide all components by the smallest value: C = 3.9962866444087, H=9.9943412269543, O = 1

Round to closest whole numbers: C = 4, H = 10, O = 1

Combine to get the empirical formula: C4H10O

An element crystallizes in a face-centered cubic lattice. If the length of an edge of the unit cell is 0.408 nm, and the density

V125BC [204]

Answer:

Au

Explanation:

For the density of a face-centered cubic:

$Density = \dfrac{4 \times M_w}{N_A \times a^3}$

where

$M_w$ = molar mass of the compound

$N_A=$ avogadro's constant

$a^3 =$ the volume of a unit cell

Given that:

Density $(\rho)$ = 19.30 g/cm³

a = 0.408 nm

a = $0.408 \times 10^{-9} \times 10^{2} \ cm$

a = $4.08 \times 10^ {-8} \ cm$

∴

$19.3 = \dfrac{4 \times M_w}{(6.023 \tmes 10^{23})\times (4.08 \times 10^{-8})^3}$

$M_w= \dfrac{19.3\times (6.023 \times 10^{23})\times (4.08 \times 10^{-8})^3}{4}$

$M_w=197.37 \ g/mol$

Thus, the molar mass of 197.37 g/mol element is Gold (Au).

Find [H+] of a 0.056 M hydrofluoric acid solution. Ka = 1.45 x 10-7

brilliants [131]

Answer: $[H^+]$ of 0.056 M HF solution is $8.96\times 10^{-5}$

Explanation:

$HF\rightarrow H^+F^-$

cM 0 0

$c-c\alpha$ $c\alpha$ $c\alpha$

So dissociation constant will be:

$K_a=\frac{(c\alpha)^{2}}{c-c\alpha}$

Give c= 0.056 M and $\alpha$ = ?

$K_a=1.45\times 10^{-7}$

Putting in the values we get:

$1.45\times 10^{-7}=\frac{(0.056\times \alpha)^2}{(0.056-0.056\times \alpha)}$

$(\alpha)=0.0016$

$[H^+]=c\times \alpha$

$[H^+]=0.056\times 0.0016=8.96\times 10^{-5}$

Thus $[H^+]$ of 0.056 M HF solution is $8.96\times 10^{-5}$
