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.

A 34.53 ml sample of a solution of sulfuric acid, h2s04, reacts with 27.86 ml of 0.08964 m naoh solution. calculate the molarity
Gnoma [55]
The balanced equation between NaOH and H₂SO₄ is as follows
2NaOH + H₂SO₄ ---> Na₂SO₄ + 2H₂O
stoichiometry of NaOH to H₂SO₄ is 2:1
number of moles of NaOH moles reacted = molarity of NaOH x volume
number of NaOH moles = 0.08964 mol/L x 27.86 x 10⁻³ L = 2.497 x 10⁻³ mol
according to molar ratio of 2:1
2 mol of NaOH reacts with 1 mol of H₂SO₄
therefore 2.497 x 10⁻³ mol of NaOH reacts with - 1/2 x 2.497 x 10⁻³ mol of H₂SO₄
number of moles of H₂SO₄ reacted - 1.249 x 10⁻³ mol 
Number of H₂SO₄ moles in 34.53 mL - 1.249 x 10⁻³ mol 
number of H₂SO₄ moles in 1000 mL - 1.249 x 10⁻³ mol / 34.53 x 10⁻³ L = 0.03617 mol 
molarity of H₂SO₄ is 0.03617 M

When 1.98g of a hydrocarbon is burned in a bomb calorimeter, the temperature increases by 2.06∘C. If the heat capacity of the ca
schepotkina [342]

Answer:

8.3 kJ

Explanation:

In this problem we have to consider that both water and the calorimeter absorb the heat of combustion, so we will calculate them:

q for water:

q H₂O = m x c x ΔT where m: mass of water = 944 mL x 1 g/mL = 944 g

                                      c: specific heat of water = 4.186 J/gºC

                                     ΔT : change in temperature = 2.06 ºC

so solving for q :

q H₂O = 944 g x 4.186 J/gºC x 2.06 ºC = 8,140 J

For calorimeter

q calorimeter  = C x  ΔT  where C: heat capacity of calorimeter = 69.6 ºC

                                     ΔT : change in temperature = 2.06 ºC

q calorimeter = 69.60J x 2.06 ºC = 143.4 J

Total heat released = 8,140 J +  143.4 J = 8,2836 J

Converting into kilojoules by dividing by 1000 we will have answered the question:

8,2836 J x 1 kJ/J = 8.3 kJ

Answer:

The mass of a pure substance represents a specific number of pure substance 'molecules', as defined by molecular weight. The relative atomic mass (atomic weight) in grams/mole (g/mol) is the molar mass of a substance, which means it is the mass of one mole of that substance.

Explanation:

Hope this helps :)

What’s the mass of 2.80 mol of ca
Ludmilka [50]

Answer:

112.22 g

Explanation:

mass = no. of moles x atomic mass

From the periodic table, we can see the atomic mass of Ca is 40.078.

Therefore,

mass = 2.80 x 40.078

= 112.22g (corrected to 2 decimal places.)
