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

What volume of so2 is produced at 325 k and 1.35 atm when 15.0 grams of hcl reacts with excess k2so3?

vova2212 [387]

The volume of SO2 produced at 325k is calculated as below

calculate the moles of SO2 produced which is calculated as follows

write the reacting equation
K2SO3 +2 HCl = 2KCl +H2O+ SO2

find the moles of HCl used
=mass/molar mass = 15g/ 36.5 g/mol =0.411 moles

by use of mole ratio between HCl to SO2 which is 2:1 the moles of SO2 is therefore = 0.411 /2 =0.206 moles of SO2

use the idea gas equation to calculate the volume SO2
that is V=nRT/P
where n=0.206 moles
R(gas constant) = 0.082 L.atm/ mol.k
T=325 K
P=1.35 atm

V=(0.206 moles x 0.082 L.atm/mol.k x325 k)/1.35 atm = 4.07 L of SO2

Which transition in the hydrogen atom produces emitted light with the longest wavelength?

monitta

Answer:

Red light has the longest wavelength

Explanation:

Red light is emitted when a high energy state electron drops from high energy level 3 to low energy level 2. Red light has the longest wavelength and lowest energy. It is a know fact that the shorter the drop within energy levels, the lesser the energy.

A solid yellow stripe is to be painted in the middle of a certain highway. If 1 gallon of paint covers an area of p square feet

Zolol [24]

Answer:

440mt/p gallons

Explanation:

We are told that one gallon of paint covers an area of p square feet. Knowing this then, the question becomes how much paint is needed to cover a stripe that is t inches wide and m miles long.

Let us first use the dimensions of the stripe to find how much area that is in square feet. A stripe is rectangular so we will calculate the area as follows:

Area of stripe = width x length

= t inches x m miles (we need to convert both to feet)

= (t inches x 1 ft/12 inches) x (m miles x 5280 ft/1 mi)

=440mt square feet

ow we can find out how much paint will be needed by using ratios

p square feet : 1 gallon

440mt square feet : x

x = 440mt/p gallons

How many liters of 1.75 M solution could be made using 35 grams of NaCl?

dolphi86 [110]

Data:
M (molarity) = 1.75 M (mol/L)
m (mass) = 35 g
MM (molar Mass) of NaCl = 58.44 g/mol
V (volume) = ? (in liters)

Formula:
$M = \frac{m}{MM*V}$

Solving:
$M = \frac{m}{MM*V}$
$1.75 = \frac{35}{58.44*V}$
$1.75*58.44V = 35$
$102.27V = 35$
$V = \frac{35}{102.27}$
$\boxed{\boxed{V \approx 0.34\:L}}\end{array}}\qquad\quad\checkmark$
