The subscript for H in the empirical formula for this compound is 3.

There are 3 steps involved in the construction of empirical formula.

Calculation of empirical formula is as under as ...

Step 1: Divide the % of each atoms which their atomic weights.

 C = 51.27 / 12 = 4.27

 H = 7.75 / 1 = 7.75

 O = 40.98 / 16 =2.56

Step 2 : Divide all the answers with the smallest answer to get the subscripts for empirical formula.

C = 4.27/ 2.56 ≈ 2

H = 7.75/ 2.56 ≈ 3

O = 2.56 /2.56 = 1

Step 3: Construction of empirical formula by putting subscripts calculated in step 2.

Empirical formula form given data = C_{2} H_{3} O_{1}

Thus , subscript for H in the empirical formula for this compound is 3.

Element x reacts with oxygen to produce x2o3 in an experiment it is found that 1.0000 g of x produces 1.1xxx g of x2o3 what is t
8_murik_8 [283]

Since X is 1 g, therefore O must be 0.1 g. Therefore:

moles O = 0.1 g / (16 g / mol) = 0.00625 mol

 

We can see that for every 3 moles of O, there are 2 moles of X, therefore:

moles X = 0.00625 mol O (3 moles X / 2 moles O) = 0.009375 mol

 

Molar mass X = 1 g / 0.009375 mol

<span>Molar mass X = 106.67 g/mol</span>

A 0.100 M solution of K2SO4 would contain the same total ion concentration as which of the following solutions? 0.0800 M Na2CO3
mr Goodwill [35]
<span>0.0750 M Na3PO4 as this solution would contain 3 Na+ and 1 PO4- ions per mole of Na3PO4 for an effective total ion concentration of 4 x .0750 or .300 M. The K2SO4 has three total ions or a concentration of .300 M as well. Hope it helps. </span>

Fantom [35]

Answer:

strong enough to hold molecules relatively close together but not strong enough to keep molecules from moving past each other.

Explanation:

In liquids, the attractive intermolecular forces are <u>strong enough to hold molecules relatively close together but not strong enough to keep molecules from moving past each other</u>.

Intermolecular forces are the forces of repulsion or attraction.

Intermolecular forces lie between atoms, molecules, or ions. Intramolecular forces are strong in comparison to these forces.
