The main constituent of gallstones is cholesterol. Cholesterol may have a role in heart attacks and blood clot formation. Its elemental percentage composition is 83.87% C, 11.99% H, and 4.14% O. It has a molecular weight of 386.64 amu. Empirical formula is C₃H₄O₁ and Molecular formula is 7(C₃H₄O₁).

<h3>What is Empirical Formula ?</h3>

Empirical formula is the simplest whole number ratio of atoms present in given compound.

Element   %   Atomic mass   Relative no. of atoms  Simplest whole ratio

C            83.87       12                     \frac{83.87}{12} = 6.98                   \frac{6.98}{0.25} = 3

H            11.99         1                       \frac{11.99}{1} = 11.09                  \frac{11.09}{0.25} = 4

O            4.14          16                      \frac{4.14}{16} = 0.25                    \frac{0.25}{0.25} = 1

Thus the empirical formula is C₃H₄O₁.

<h3>How to find the Molecular formula of compound ?</h3>

Molecular formula = Empirical formula × n

n = \frac{\text{Molecular weight}}{\text{Empirical formula weight}}

  = \frac{386.64}{56}

  = 7

Molecular formula = Empirical formula × n

                               = 7 (C₃H₄O₁)

Thus from the above conclusion we can say that The main constituent of gallstones is cholesterol. Cholesterol may have a role in heart attacks and blood clot formation. Its elemental percentage composition is 83.87% C, 11.99% H, and 4.14% O. It has a molecular weight of 386.64 amu. Empirical formula is C₃H₄O₁ and Molecular formula is 7(C₃H₄O₁).

Which of these illustration shows isotopes of the elements boron b
Delvig [45]
The isotopes are elements with the same number of protons but different number of neutrons.

Boron atomic number is 5. That is the number of protons.

The natural occurring isotopes of boron contain 5 or 6 neutrons. Other, non stable isotopes, contain from 1 to 16 neutrons.

A volume of 100 mL of 1.00 M HCl solution is titrated with 1.00 M NaOH solution. You added the following quantities of 1.00 M Na
s344n2d4d5 [400]

Answer:

a: before equivalence point

b: equivalence point

c: before equivalence point

d: after the eqivalence point

e: before equivalence point

f:  after the eqivalence point

Explanation:

Balanced equation of reaction:

NaOH +HCl =NaCl +H2O;

Volume of HCl is fixed and it 100ml and concentration is 1.0M

N1 and N2 normality of HCl and NaOH respectively;

V1 and V2 volume of HCl and NaOH respectively;

we have given molarity but we need normality;

Normality=molarity \times n-factor

<em>but in case of NaOH and HCl n-factor is 1 for each.</em>

hence

normality=molarity;

At equivalence point:  N_1V_1=N_2V_2

Before equivalence point : N_1V_1>N_2V_2

After the equivalence point: N_1V_1

N_1V_1=100\times1=100

case a:  5.00 mL of 1.00 M NaOH

N_2V_2=5\times1=5

N_1V_1>N_2V_2 hence it is before equivalence point

case b: 100mL of 1.00 M NaOH

N_2V_2=100\times1=100

N_1V_1=N_2V_2 hence it is equivalence point

case c:  10.0 mL of 1.00 M NaOH

N_2V_2=10\times1=10

N_1V_1>N_2V_2 hence it is before equivalence point

case d: 150 mL of 1.00 M NaOH

N_2V_2=150\times1=150

N_1V_1 hence it is after the eqivalence point

case e: 50.0 mL of 1.00 M NaOH

N_2V_2=50\times1=50

N_1V_1>N_2V_2 hence it is before equivalence point

case f: 200 mL of 1.00 M NaOH

N_2V_2=200\times1=200

N_1V_1 hence it is after the eqivalence point
