The empirical formula for this vitamin : C₃H₄O₃
<h3>Further explanation
</h3>
The empirical formula is the smallest comparison of atoms of compound =mole ratio of the components
The principle of determining empirical formula
- Determine the mass ratio of the constituent elements of the compound.
- Determine the mole ratio by dividing the percentage by the atomic mass
Mass of C in CO₂ :(MW C = 12 g/mol, CO₂=44 g/mol)
Mass of H in H₂O :(MW H = 1 g/mol, H₂O = 18 g/mol)
Mass O = Mass sample - (mass C + mass H) :
mol ratio C : H : O =
Make sure the equation is always balanced first. (It is balanced for this question already) 6.022 x 10^23 is Avogadro’s number. In one mole of anything there is always 6.022 x 10^23 molecules, formula units, atoms. For one mol of an element/ compound use molar mass (grams).
Multiply everything on the top = 8.61x10^47
Multiple everything on bottom= 1.20x10^24
Divide top and bottom = 7.15x10^23
Answer: 7.15x10^23 mol SO2
Cells are too small to see with the naked eye.
It's pretty straight forward, use the cross-out method.
1) Microscopes MAGNIFY images, they don't color the cells. In fact, scientists have to use these chemicals to "stain" or color the cells to see them more easily through microscopes.
2) If the lenses of a microscope reduced the image of an organism to the size of a cell, you'd be seeing a very tiny human through your microscope, instead of actual cells.
3) Microscopes don't "trap" anything. In fact, scientists use plates or slides under microscopes to contain what they're studying.
Answer:
2.1 kg of water
Explanation:
Step 1: Given data
- Moles of lithium bromide (solute): 4.3 moles
- Molality of the solution (m): 2.05 m (2.05 mol/kg)
- Mass of water (solvent): ?
Step 2: Calculate the mass of water required
Molality is equal to the moles of solute divided by the kilograms of solvent.
m = moles of solute/kilograms of solvent
kilograms of solvent = moles of solute/m
kilograms of solvent = 4.3 mol /(2.05 mol/kg) = 2.1 kg
