The molecular formula is C9H24O6

Given the Mass of C = 47.37g ,Mass of H = 10.59g and Mass of O = 42.04g

The total mass of these elements is 100g, taking a proportion of their molar masses.

C = 47.37/12= 3.95

H = 10.59/1 = 10.59

O = 42.04/16= 2.63.

Dividing with the smallest proportion which is 2.63

C=3.95/2.63 = 1.5

H =10.59/2.63 =4

O = 2.63/2.63= 1

Multiplying by 2 to get a whole number.

C = 1.5x2 = 3

H= 4x2 = 8

O = 1x2= 2

The empirical formula is C3H6O2

(Empirical formula)n= molecular mass

(C3H8O2)n =228.276

(12x3 +8+16x2)n= 228.276

76n = 228.276

n = 228.276/76

n = 3

Molecular formula = (Empirical formula)n

= (C3H8O2)3 = C9H24O6

The molecular formula is C9H24O6

How many milliliters of sodium metal, with a density of 0.97 g/mL, would be needed to produce 43.6 grams of sodium hydroxide in
GaryK [48]

Answer is: 25.84  milliliters of sodium metal.

Balanced chemical reaction: 2Na + 2H₂O → 2NaOH + H₂.

d(Na) = 0.97 g/mL; density of sodim.

m(NaOH) = 43.6 g; mass of sodium hydroxide.

n(NaOH) = m(NaOH) ÷ M(NaOH).

n(NaOH) = 43.6 g ÷ 40 g/mol.

n(NaOH) =1.09 mol; amount of sodium hydroxide.

From chemical reaction: n(NaOH) : n(Na) = 2 : 2 (1: 1).

n(Na) = 1.09 mol.

m(Na) = 1.09 mol · 23 g/mol.

m(Na) = 25.07 g; mass of sodium.

V(Na) = m(Na) ÷ d(Na).

V(Na) = 25.07 g ÷ 0.97 g/mL.

V(Na) = 25.84 mL.

what volume of silver metal Will Weigh exactly 2500 .0 g the density of silver is 10.5 g/ cm3 squared
vovangra [49]

Hello!

The formula is density =  mass / volume

                    => volume = mass / density

volume = ?

mass = 2500.0 g

density = 10.5 g/cm3

volume = mass / density

volume = 2500.0 g / 10.5 g/cm3

volume = 2380.95 cm3

Hope this help!

How many grams of CO2 are in 6 mol of the compound. Need answer and units.
Alex Ar [27]

Answer:

75 g  

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>Step 1</em>. Calculate the molar mass of CO₂

 C                      = 12.01

2O = 2 × 16.00 = <u>32.00 </u>

               Total = 44.01 g/mol

<em>Step 2</em>. Calculate the mass of CO₂

Mass of CO₂ = 6 mol CO₂ × (44.01 g CO₂/1 mol CO₂)

Mass of CO₂ = 75 g CO₂

Please help me with this question number 5!!
shtirl [24]
The answer is B, the electrolysis of water. One cannot be the answer since the condensation of steam requires a loss of heat, an exothermic reaction. Numbers 2 and 3 cannot be correct either as they do not indicate energy in the chemical equation, and so it must be balanced throughout. Meaning that the only possible answer is B.
