The empirical formula is C₂H₃O₂

<h3>What is Empirical formula of a compound ?</h3>

The empirical formula is the simplest whole number ratio of elements present in a compound.

The total molar mass of the compound is 118.084 g/mol.

mass of Carbon present = 40.6

mass of Hydrogen present = 5.1 grams

mass of Oxygen present = 2 grams

Moles of C = 40.6/12 = 3.38

Moles of H = 5.1/1.008 = 5

Moles of Oxygen = 54.2/15.999 = 3.38

Ratio of Moles of C to Oxygen is 1 : 1

Ratio of Moles of C to H is 1/1.5

Multiplying each mole fraction by 2

The empirical formula is C₂H₃O₂

Which three temperature readings all mean the same thing?

allochka39001 [22]

Answer: The correct answer is D. 273 Kelvin, 0 degrees Celsius, 32 degrees Fahrenheit.

Explanation:

Conversion of degree Celsius to Kelvin :

K=^oC+273

Conversion of degree Celsius to degrees Fahrenheit :

^oF=(\frac{9}{5}\times ^oC)+32

By using these two conversion factors, we get the three temperature readings all mean the same thing.

For option A :

K=^oC+273=100+273=373K

^oF=(\frac{9}{5}\times ^oC)+32=(\frac{9}{5}\times 100)+32=212^oF

For option B :

K=^oC+273=100+273=373K

^oF=(\frac{9}{5}\times ^oC)+32=(\frac{9}{5}\times 100)+32=212^oF

For option C :

K=^oC+273=0+273=273K

^oF=(\frac{9}{5}\times ^oC)+32=(\frac{9}{5}\times 0)+32=32^oF

For option D :

K=^oC+273=0+273=273K

^oF=(\frac{9}{5}\times ^oC)+32=(\frac{9}{5}\times 0)+32=32^oF

From the given options, only option (D) is correct.

Hence, the correct option is, (D) 273 Kelvin, 0 degrees Celsius, 32 degrees Fahrenheit

Hope this helps!

What components of an endothermic reaction have a higher heat content

xxTIMURxx [149]

Endothermic reaction is the reaction in which the system absorbs energy. The system absorbs heat and cools the surroundings. Reactants are the substances that are involved in the reaction and at the end of the reaction product are formed.
In the endothermic reaction because heat is absorbed , the products have a higher heat.

Consider the following reaction where Kc = 1.80×10-2 at 698 K:

Klio2033 [76]

Answer:

The system is not in equilibrium and the reaction must run in the forward direction to reach equilibrium.

Explanation:

The reaction quotient Qc is a measure of the relative amount of products and reagents present in a reaction at any given time, which is calculated in a reaction that may not yet have reached equilibrium.

For the reversible reaction aA + bB⇔ cC + dD, where a, b, c and d are the stoichiometric coefficients of the balanced equation, Qc is calculated by:

$Qc=\frac{[C]^{c}*[D]^{d} } {[A]^{a}*[B]^{b}}$

In this case:

$Qc=\frac{[H_{2} ]*[I_{2} ] } {[HI]^{2}}$

Since molarity is the concentration of a solution expressed in the number of moles dissolved per liter of solution, you have:

$[H_{2} ]=\frac{2.09*10^{-2} moles}{1 Liter}$ =2.09*10⁻² $\frac{moles}{liter}$

$[I_{2} ]=\frac{4.14*10^{-2} moles}{1 Liter}$ =4.14*10⁻² $\frac{moles}{liter}$

$[I_{2} ]=\frac{0.280 moles}{1 Liter}$ = 0.280 $\frac{moles}{liter}$

So,

$Qc=\frac{2.09*10^{-2} *4.14*10^{-2} } {0.280^{2} }$

Qc= 0.011

Comparing Qc with Kc allows to find out the status and evolution of the system:

If the reaction quotient is equal to the equilibrium constant, Qc = Kc, the system has reached chemical equilibrium.

If the reaction quotient is greater than the equilibrium constant, Qc> Kc, the system is not in equilibrium. In this case the direct reaction predominates and there will be more product present than what is obtained at equilibrium. Therefore, this product is used to promote the reverse reaction and reach equilibrium. The system will then evolve to the left to increase the reagent concentration.

If the reaction quotient is less than the equilibrium constant, Qc <Kc, the system is not in equilibrium. The concentration of the reagents is higher than it would be at equilibrium, so the direct reaction predominates. Thus, the system will evolve to the right to increase the concentration of products.

Being Qc=0.011 and Kc=1.80⁻²=0.018, then Qc<Kc. <u><em>The system is not in equilibrium and the reaction must run in the forward direction to reach equilibrium.</em></u>

Formular for solubility

Komok [63]

Answer:

= konstanta produk kelarutan

= kation dalam larutan berair

= anion dalam larutan berair

= konsentrasi relatif a dan b

DARI WEB

Divide the mass of the compound by the mass of the solvent and then multiply by 100 g to calculate the solubility in g/100g . Solubility of NaNO3=21.9g or NaNO3 x 100 g/ 25 g =87.6. Calculate the molar mass of the dissolved compound as the sum of mass of all atoms in the molecule.
