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!

what is the pH of a solution prepared from solid, neutral 2-nitrophenol providing a fromal concentration of 0.0353M, given that
REY [17]

Answer:

pH = 4.34

Explanation:

pH= -1/2(logKa) -1/2(log C)

= -1/2( log 5.98*10^-8) -1/2(log 0.0353)

=-1/2(-7.22)-1/2(-1.45)

=3.61+0.725= 4.34
