Answer:
Empirical CHO
molecular C4H4O4
Explanation:
From the question, we know that it contains 41.39% C , 3.47% H and the rest oxygen. To get the % composition of the oxygen, we simply add the carbon and hydrogen together and subtract from 100%.
This means : O = 100 - 41.39 - 3.47 = 55.14%
Next is to divide the percentage compositions by their atomic masses.
C = 41.39/12 = 3.45
O = 55.14/16 = 3.45
H = 3.47/1 = 3.47
Now we divide by the smallest value which is 3.45. We can deduce that this will definitely give us an answer of 1 all through as the values are very similar.
Hence the empirical formula of Maleic acid is CHO
Now we go on to deduce the molecular formula.
To do this we need the molar mass. I.e the amount in grammes per one mole of the compound.
Now we can see that 0.378mole = 43.8g
Then 1 mole = xg
x = (43.8*1)/0.378 = 115.87 = apprx 116
[CHO]n = 116
(12 + 1 + 16]n = 116
29n = 116
n = 116/29 = 4
The molecular formula is thus C4H4O4
Two German chemists, Justus von Liebig (1803–1873) and Friedrich Wöhler (1800–1882), were responsible for the emergence of organic chemistry in the early nineteenth century. Their quantitative analytical methods helped establish the constitution of newly isolated and synthesized carbon compounds.
Answer and Explanation:
As the temperature of the substances increases, the average energy of the molecules increases, and average energy of attraction between the molecules decreases consequently intermolecular spacing between the molecules increases. As a result, a substance change in succession from gas to liquid to solid.
The new pressure would be = 4.46 atm
<h3>Further explanation</h3>
Given
V₁=6.7 L(at STP, 1 atm 273 K)
V₂=1.5 L
Required
The new pressure
Solution
Boyle's Law
At a constant temperature, the gas volume is inversely proportional to the pressure applied
P₂ = (P₁V₁)/V₂
P₂ = (1 atm x 6.7 L)/1.5 L
P₂ = 4.46 atm
Density decreases that's why ice floats on water because it's less dense than water.
