Empirical formula and Molecular formula:

Vanillin has the empirical formula C₈H₈O₃ and the molecular formula  C₈H₈O₃, they both are same.

What is Vanillin?

  • Vanillin has the chemical formula C₈H₈O₃ and is classified as an organic compound.
  • It is an aldehyde that is phenolic. Ether, hydroxyl, and aldehyde are some of their functional groups.
  • It is the key ingredient in vanilla bean extract.

C, H, and O are present in this compound,

Mass percent composition = Divide by their atomic mass

C = 63.15/12.0107 = 5.2578

H = 5.30/1.0079 = 5.2582

O = 31.55/16 = 1.9719  

Thus, the ratio of

carbon         :   hydrogen        :  oxygen

5.257811784 : 5.258249499 : 1.97199825

division of all numbers by the smallest we get,

2.666235523 : 2.666457488 : 1

further dividing it by 3 we get,

7.998706568 : 7.999372463 : 3

thus the ratio becomes 8:8:3

Therefore, the empirical formula is C₈H₈O₃

Empirical formula mass = (12x8) + (1x8) + (16x3)

                                       = 96 + 8 + 48

                                       = 152

n = Molecular mass of Vanillin/ Empirical formula mass

  = 152.15/152

  = 1.0009  

Since the n-value is near to 1 thus the molecular formula will also be the same.

Therefore the molecular formula = C₈H₈O₃

Note: Your question is incomplete, but most probably your full question was Vanillin the flavoring agent in vanilla has a mass percent composition of 63.15 per h ,31.55per o and 5.30%H. determine the empirical formula and molecular formula if molecular mass of vanillin is 152.15 g/mol

__________________________________________________________

A student places three ice cubes in a beaker and allows them to partially melt. If she measures the temperature of the water in the beaker, what will she most likely observe? Explain your answer.

She will see that the temperature of the water is 0 degrees Celsius and it stays at that temperature until all the ice cubes completely melt.

__________________________________________________________

Use the table on the right to calculate each required quantity. Record values to 3 significant digits.

First answer: 35.8 kJ

Second answer: 871 g

Third answer: Fe

__________________________________________________________

An iron sphere with a mass of 75.00 g is heated to a temperature of 385.0°C. It is then placed in a beaker containing 150.0 g H2O at 100.0°C.

First answer: 339 kJ

Second answer: 9.02  kJ

Third answer: No

__________________________________________________________

A sample of water has a mass of 100.0 g. Calculate the amount of heat required to change the sample from ice at –45.00°C to water vapor at 175.0°C. Relevant constant values are given to the right.

First answer: 325  kJ

Second answer: boiling the water

__________________________________________________________

Identify the correct description for each part labeled on the diagram.  

A: ✔ heating solid

B: ✔ melting

C: ✔ heating liquid

D: ✔ boiling

E: ✔ heating gas

F: ✔ melting point

G: ✔ boiling point

Where are the particles closest together?

✔ A

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

When ice partially melts, the surrounding water remains at 0° Celsius. This is because ice melting only involves the water molecules overcoming intermolecular forces, or forces holding molecules together. The water molecules themselves aren't increasing in kinetic energy when turning into liquid. Since temperature measures kinetic energy, the temperature in this case, remains at 0°.

To find how much energy it takes to cause a phase change in a substance, you must find the number of moles, and determine whether to use ΔHvap and ΔHfus. ΔHvap is used to show how much energy is involved in evaporation and condensation, and ΔHfus is the same but used for melting and freezing. To find number of moles of a given substance, use the formula: mass of given substance divided by atomic mass. Both numbers have to use the same mass unit. Then, multiply number of moles by ΔHvap or ΔHfus to get kJ.

In a heating curve graph, the flat lines represent no change in energy, or the phase changes. The steep lines are change in energy, which are either heating or cooling. The bottom line is a heating/cooling solid. A heating/cooling solid is the coldest phase, which is why the line is at the bottom.

sergij07 [2.7K]

Answer:

  • <u><em>True</em></u>

Explanation:

<em>Heat</em> is a kind of energy.

The <em>kinetic theory </em>relates the heat with the movement of the particles: the more the particles move, the larger the kinetic energy of the system. The kinetic theory states that heat is the kinetic energy of the particles, atoms or molecules, in a substance, that is transferred from a substance at higher temperature to other substance at lower temperature.

Based on that principle, the kinetic theory explains the changes of phases of the substances in terms of the motion of the particles: the hotter an object the faster the particles move, the more energetic the particles are, and they occupy more space. Thus, when a solid is heated, the particles move faster and it can pass to liquid or gaseous state.
