Answer:

CH2

Explanation:

We are given that a compound is 14.40% hydrogen and 85.60% carbon.

Let the mass of the substance be 100g.

Mass of the hydrogen: 14.40% of 100 = 14.40 g

Mass of the carbon: 85.60% of 100 = 85.60 g

Now, let's find the moles of hydrogen:

14.40 g*\frac{1 mole}{1gH} = 14.40 mole

Moles of carbon:

85.60g*\frac{1 mol}{12gC} = 7.13mol

Let's put these in a ratio and simplify:

7.13 mole C: 14.40 mole H

1 mole C: 2 mole H

Therefore, the empirical formula of this compound is CH2.

Hope this helps!! If you have any questions about my work, please let me know in the comments!

The maximum amounts of lead and copper allowed in drinking water are 0.015 mg/kg for lead and 1.3 mg/kg for copper. Tell the max
GuDViN [60]

Answer:

  • <em>The maximum amount of copper allowed in 100 g of water is </em><u><em>0.00013 g</em></u>

Explanation:

To find the maximum amount of copper (in grams) allowed in 100 g of water use the maximum amount ratio (1.3 mg / kg)  and set a proportion with the unknown amount of copper (x) and the amount of water (100 g):

First, convert 100 g of water to kg: 100 g × 1 kg / 1000 g = 0.1 kg.

Now, set the proportion:

  • 1.3 mg Cu / 1 Kg H₂O = x / 0.1 kg H₂O

Solve for x:

  • x = 0.1 kg H₂O × 1.3 mg Cu / 1 kg H₂O = 0.13 mg Cu

Convert mg to grams:

  • 0.13 mg × 1 g / 1,000 mg = 0.00013 g

Answer: 0.00013 g of copper.
