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

What is the energy of a photon with:<br> a wavelength of 827 nm? What type of radiation is it?
xeze [42]

Explanation:

Given parameters:

 Wavelength of photon  = 827nm  = 827  x 10⁻⁹m

Unknown:

Energy of the photon = ?

Type of radiation = ?

Solution:

The energy of a photon can be derived using the expression below:

      E = \frac{h c}{wavelength}

h is the Planck's constant = 6.63 x 10⁻³⁴m²kg/s

c is the speed of light = 3 x 10⁸m/s

Insert the parameters and solve;

      E  = \frac{6.63 x 10^{-34} x 3 x 10^{8}  }{827x 10^{-9} }  

       E = 2.4 x 10⁻¹⁹J

Type of radiation:

Near infrared radiation

Explain why the standard enthalpy of formation () for Cl2 (g) is zero, but its standard entropy is larger than zero.
Galina-37 [17]

The standard enthalpy of formation for chlorine is zero but the standard entropy is larger than 0 because it is the elemental state of chlorine.

The standard enthalpy of formation for chlorine is zero because cl2 is the elemental state of chlorine and it does not require any energy for the formation of the standard state of chlorine.

The entropy of any system cannot be negative. It can only be positive or zero.

The entropy of a system will become zero only at a absolute zero temperature.

That's why the entropy of chlorine in elemental state is more than zero because absolutely zero temperature can't be obtained.

What type of bond is H2Se
Vinvika [58]

Answer:The lone pair of electrons takes up more space than a regular bonding pair since it it is not confined to be between two atoms, so it adds coulombic repulsion to the bonding pairs and compresses the angle. Therefore, the bond angle is less than the standard 109.5∘ . It is actually 97.7∘

Why is fossil fuel considered a nonrenewable energy source?​
IRINA_888 [86]

Answer:

\boxed {\tt Takes \ many \ years \ to \ replenish}

Explanation:

A nonrenewable is a resource that cannot quickly be regenerated. A nonrenewable resource will eventually run out, and it cannot be remade for many years.

For example, <u>fossil fuel </u>is formed from fossils after millions of years of heat and pressure turn them into fuel. Since they take many years to create, they are a <em>nonrenewable energy source.</em>
