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.

Linolenic acid (C18H30O2 - M.W. = 278.42 g/mol) reacts with hydrogen gas according to the equation: C18H30O2 + 3H2 (g) → C18H36O
Ludmilka [50]

Answer:

2.53 L is the volume of H₂ needed

Explanation:

The reaction is: C₁₈H₃₀O₂ + 3H₂ → C₁₈H₃₆O₂

By the way we can say, that 1 mol of linolenic acid reacts with 3 moles of oxygen in order to produce, 1 mol of stearic acid.

By stoichiometry, ratio is 1:3

Let's convert the mass of the linolenic acid to moles:

10.5 g . 1 mol / 278.42 g  = 0.0377 moles

We apply a rule of three:

1 mol of linolenic acid needs 3 moles of H₂ to react

Then, 0.0377 moles will react with (0.0377 . 3 )/1 = 0.113 moles of hydrogen

We apply the Ideal Gases Law to find out the volume (condition of measure are STP) → P . V = n . R . T → V = ( n . R .T ) / P

V = (0.113 mol . 0.082 L.atm/mol.K . 273.15K) 1 atm = 2.53 L

Assuming complete dissociation, what is the ph of a 3.24 mg/l ba(oh)2 solution?
weqwewe [10]
We need to first find the molarity of Ba(OH₂) solution.
A mass of 3.24 mg is dissolved in 1 L solution.
Ba(OH)₂ moles dissolved - 3.24 x 10⁻³ g/171.3 g/mol = 1.90 x 10⁻⁵ mol
dissociaton of Ba(OH)₂ is as follows;
Ba(OH)₂ --> Ba²⁺ + 2OH⁻
1 mol of Ba(OH)₂ dissociates to form 2OH⁻ ions.
Therefore [OH⁻] = (1.90 x 10⁻⁵)x2  = 3.8 x 10⁻⁵ M
pOH = -log[OH⁻]
pOH = -log (3.8 x 10⁻⁵)
pOH = 4.42
pH + pOH = 14
therefore pH = 14 - 4.42 
pH = 9.58

An extra-strength aspirin contains 0.500 g of aspirin. how many grains is this? (1grain=64.8mg)
Snowcat [4.5K]

By unit conversion, the aspirin contains 7.72 grains.

We need to know about unit conversion to solve this problem. The unit conversion can be used to convert a unit to another unit. It can be defined as

a = xb

where a is unit a, b is unit b and x is the constant of conversion.

From the question above, we know that

m = 0.5 gram

unit conversion

(1 grain = 64.8 mg)

Convert the unit conversion to 1 mg

1 grain = 64.8 mg

1/64.8 grain = 64.8/64.8 mg

1 mg = 1/64.8 grain

Convert the aspirin mass to grain

m = 0.500 g

m = 0.5 x 10³ mg

m = 0.5 x 10³ x 1/64.8 grain

m = 7.72 grain
