The empirical formula of Lorelai's compound is C₄H₁₀O

<h3>Data obtained from the question</h3>

C = 64.8 g
H = 13.62 g
O = 21.58 g
Empirical formula =?

<h3>How to determine the empirical formula</h3>

Divide by their molar mass

C = 64.8 / 12 = 5.4

H = 13.62 / 1 = 13.62

O = 21.58 / 16 = 1.35

Divide by the smallest

C = 5.4 / 1.35 = 4

H = 13.62 / 1.35 = 10

O = 1.35 / 1.35 = 1

Thus, the empirical formula of the compound is C₄H₁₀O

In a 1.0-liter container there are, at equilibrium, 0.10 mole h2, 0.20 mole n2, and 0.40 mole nh3. what is the value of kc for t

bogdanovich [222]

The reaction involved here would be written as:

2N2 + 3H2 = 2NH3

The equilibrium constant of a reaction is the ratio of the concentrations of the products and the reactants when in equilibrium. The expression for the equilibrium constant of this reaction would be as follows:

Kc = [NH3]^2 / [N2]^2[H2]^3
Kc = 0.40^2 / (0.20)^2 (0.10)^3
Kc = 4000

What volume would 3.01•1023 molecules of oxygen gas occupy at STP?

Sliva [168]

First, find moles of oxygen gas: (3.01 x10^23 molec.)/(6.02 x10^23) =0.5mol O2

Second, multiply moles by the standard molar volume of a gas at STP:(0.5mol)(22.4L) = 11.2L O2
