The molecular formula of the given compound is $\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{CO}_{3}$ also known as  Carbonic acid.

<h3>What is empirical formula and molecular formula?</h3>

The simplest whole-number ratio of the various atoms in a compound is represented by an empirical formula.

The precise number of various atom types present in a compound's molecule is indicated by the molecular formula.

Given that,

H = 3.3%

C = 19.3%

O = 77.4%

No. of moles of H = 3.3/1

No. of moles of H = 3.3

No. of moles of C = 19.3 / 12

No. of moles of C = 1.60

No. of moles of O = 77.4/16

No. of moles of O = 4.83

Therefore, the ratio of the atoms of C, H and O = 3.3 : 1.60 : 4.83

Divide by smallest value which you get =3.3 / 1.60 : 1.60 / 1.60 : 4.83 / 1.60

The ratio of the atoms of C, H and O = 2 : 1 : 3

So, the empirical formula is $\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{CO}_{2}$

Let the molecular formula is $\left(\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{CO}_{3}\right) \mathrm{n}$

Then, molar mass $=(2 \times 1+1 \times 12+3 \times 16) n\\

Molar mass = 62n

As the question, 62 n = 60

n = 0.96 or n = 1 (rounded off to nearest ones)

So, the molecular formula is $\left(\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{CO}_{3}\right) 1=\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{CO}_{3}$ i.e., the compound is Carbonic acid.

The density of magnesium is 1.7 g/cm3, and the density of iron is 7.9 g/cm3. Consider a block of iron with a mass of 819 g. What
BigorU [14]

Answer:

mass of Mg=0.016g

Explanation:

P(Mg)=1.7g/cm³

P(Fe)=7.9g/cm³

m(Fe)=819g

P(Fe)=m(Fe)/v(Fe)

7.9=819/v(Fe)

v(Fe)=0.0096cm³

since v(Mg)=v(Fe)

=0.0096cm³

P(Mg)=m(Mg) /v(Mg)

1.7=m(Mg)/0.0096

m(Mg) = 0.016g

Acetylene gas, C2H2, releases large quantities of heat when it burns, making it ideal for welding applications. This gas is gene
Karo-lina-s [1.5K]

Answer:

64 kg

Explanation:

The computation of the number of kg need to ordered is shown below:

As we know that

CaC_2 + 2H_2O \rightarrow Ca(OH)^2   + C_2H_2

Now as we know that

1  mole of C_2H_2 generated from 1 mole of CaC_2

Now

26g of C_2H_2 generated from 64g of CaC_2

And,

26kg of C_2H_2 generated from

= \frac{64g\times26Kg}{26g}

= 64kg CaC_2

Hence, the number of kg that required for ordering the calcium carbide is 64 kg

cestrela7 [59]

The chemical equation is unbalanced and synthesized.

<h3></h3><h3>What is a chemical equation?</h3>

A chemical equation is described as the symbolic representation of a chemical reaction in the form of symbols and chemical formulas.

In a chemical equation, the reactant entities are given on the left-hand side and the product entities is shown on the right-hand side with a plus sign between the entities in both the reactants and the products, and an arrow that indicates towards the products to show the direction of the reaction.

We can conclude that in the chemical equation shown is unbalanced because both amounts of the individual elements and compounds do not reflect on the reactant and product side.

The complete question is below:

After learning about the law of conservation of mass, Sammy became interested in balancing equations. He knew that the symbol for aluminum was Al and silver tarnish was Ag2S. He also knew that mixing the two chemicals yielded pure silver, or Ag, in an aluminum sulfide solution. Here is the equation showing this reaction:

3 Ag2S + 2 Al → 6 Ag + Al2S3

This equation is (synthesis / unbalanced / replacement / balanced), and it represents a(n) (unbalanced / balanced / synthesized / replaced) chemical reaction.

answer choices:

  • synthesis; balanced

  • balanced; replacement

  • unbalanced; synthesized

  • balanced; balanced

For the reaction CO2(g) + H2(g)CO(g) + H20(g)
Studentka2010 [4]

Answer:

The ΔG° is 29 kJ and the reaction is favored towards reactant.

Explanation:

Based on the given information, the ΔH°rxn or enthalpy change is 41.2 kJ, the ΔS°rxn or change in entropy is 42.1 J/K or 42.1 * 10⁻³ kJ/K. The temperature given is 289 K. Now the Gibbs Free energy change can be calculated by using the formula,  

ΔG° = ΔH°rxn - TΔS°rxn

= 41.2 kJ - 289 K × 42.1 × 10⁻³ kJ/K

= 41.2 kJ - 12.2 kJ

= 29 kJ

As ΔG° of the reaction is positive, therefore, the reaction is favored towards reactant.
