The empirical formula of the compound with the percent composition C 18.1%, H 2.27%, Cl 79.8% is C₂H₃Cl₃.

<h3>What is an empirical formula?</h3>

It is the minimum ratio between the elements that form a compound.

  • Step 1: Divide each percentage by the molar mass of the element.

C: 18.1/12.01 = 1.51

H: 2.27/1.01 = 2.25

Cl: 79.8/35.45 = 2.25

  • Step 2: Divide all the numbers by the smallest one.

C; 1.51/1.51 = 1

H: 2.25/1.51 ≈ 1.5

Cl: 2.25/1.51 ≈ 1.5

  • Step 3: Multiply all the numbers by 2 so all of them are whole.

C: 1 × 2 = 2

H: 1.5 × 2 = 3

Cl: 1.5 × 2 = 3

The empirical formula is C₂H₃Cl₃.

The empirical formula of the compound with the percent composition C 18.1%, H 2.27%, Cl 79.8% is C₂H₃Cl₃.

Phosphorus has an atomic mass of 31 and an atomic number of 15, so the number of neutrons must be _______________.
Nikitich [7]
Remember this:

atomic mass= atomic number + number of neutrons 

The atomic number (same thing as number of protons) in this case is 15. The atomic mass is 31. 

So, we subtract 15 from 31 to find the number of neutrons.

31-15=16 

16 neutrons!!!

Calcium hydroxide is more soluble in water than the magnesium hydroxide .why?​
N76 [4]

Explanation:

This indicates that there are more hydroxide ions in solution than there were in the original water. This is because some magnesium hydroxide has dissolved. Calcium hydroxide solution is referred to as "lime water". A liter of pure water will dissolve about 1 gram of calcium hydroxide at room temperature.

How many grams of carbon dioxide are created from the complete
ololo11 [35]

Answer:

<u>167.2 g</u>

Explanation:

Known

VC4H10 = 21.3

T = 0.00 C (convert to Kelvin: 273 K)

P = 1.00 atm

Unknown

m = ?g

1. <u>Write the balanced chemical equation</u>

1 C4H10 + 1O2  ----->  4 CO2 + 5 H2O

2. <u>Find the volume ratio of Carbon Dioxide to Butane </u>

1 C4H10   4 CO2  = 4 volumes CO2 / 1 volume C4H10

3.<u> Multiply by the known volume of n (butane)</u>

21.3 L C4H10  x  4 volumes CO2 / 1 volume C4H10 = 85.2 L C4H10

4. <u>Use ideal gas law</u>

PV = nRT   solve for n  ----> n = PV/RT

n= (1.00 atm) (85.2 L) / (0.0821 L atm/mol K) (273)  = 3.80 mol CO2

5.<u> Find molar mass of CO2</u>

1 C x 12 + 2 O x 16 = 44.00

6. <u>Multiply the ideal gas law solution (3.80) by molar mass CO2 (44.00)</u>

3.80 mol CO2 x 44.00 g CO2

= 167.2 g CO2

Scientists claim that climate change is happening because Earth is warming. They also claim that humans have helped cause the wa
LUCKY_DIMON [66]
Climate change has always happened on Earth, which is clearly seen in the geological record; it is the rapid rate and the magnitude of climate change occurring now that is of great concern worldwide. Greenhouse gases in the atmosphere absorb heat radiation. Human activity has increased greenhouse gases in the atmosphere since the Industrial Revolution, leading to more heat retention and an increase in surface temperatures. Atmospheric aerosols alter climate by scattering and absorbing solar and infrared radiation and they may also change the microphysical and chemical properties of clouds. Finally, land-use changes, such as deforestation have led to changes in the amount of sunlight reflected from the ground back into space (the surface albedo). It may seem counterintuitive, but
more snowfall during winter storms
is an expected outcome of climate
change. That's because a warmer
planet is evaporating more water
into the atmosphere. That added
moisture means more precipitation
in the form of heavy snowfall or
downpours.
During warmer months, this can
cause record-breaking floods. But
during the winter - when our part
of the world is tipped away from
the sun - temperatures drop, and
instead of downpours we can get
massive winter storms.
