Taking into account the scientific notation, the result of the subtraction is -4.20689×10⁻².

<h3>Scientific notation</h3>

Scientific notation is a quick way to represent a number using powers of base ten, where the numbers are written as a product:

a×10ⁿ

where:

a is a real number greater than or equal to 1 and less than 10, to which a decimal point is added after the first digit if it is a non-integer number.
n is an integer, which is called an exponent or an order of magnitude. Represents the number of times the comma is shifted. It is always an integer, positive if it is shifted to the left, negative if it is shifted to the right.

<h3>Subtraction in scientific notation</h3>

When the numbers to be added do not have the same base 10 exponent, the base 10 power with the highest exponent must be found. In this case, the highest exponent is -2.

Then all the values are expressed as a function of the base 10 exponent with the highest exponent. In this case: 3.11×10⁻⁵= 0.00311×10⁻²

Taking the quantities to the same exponent, all you have to do is subtract what was previously called the number "a". In this case:

0.00311×10⁻² - 4.21×10⁻²= (0.00311 - 4.21)×10⁻²= -4.20689×10⁻²

Finally, the result of the subtraction is -4.20689×10⁻².

What volume is occupied by 18.4 g oxygen at 28.0°C and a pressure of 0.998 torr? (round to sig figs)

Alexxandr [17]

Answer:

11.0 dm³

Explanation:

From the question,

Applying

PV= nRT............... Equation 1

Where P = pressure of oxygen gas, V = volume of oxygen gas, n = number of moles of oxygen, R = molar constant, T = Temperature.

make V the subeject of the equation

V = nRT/P............. Equation 2

But,

Number of mole (n) = Mass of oxygen(m)/Molar mass of oxygen(m')

n = m/m'....................... Equation 3

Substitute equation 3 into equation 2

V = mRT/Pm'............. Equation 4

Given: T = 28°C = (28+273) = 301 K, P = 0.998 torr = (0.998×0.00131579) = 1.3132 atm, m = 18.4 g

Constant: R = 0.082 atm.dm³/K.mol, m' = 32 g/mol.

Substitute these values into equation 4

V = (301×18.4×0.082)/(32×1.3132)

V = 454.1488/42.0224

V = 10.81 dm³

V = 11.0 dm³

When a 3.00 grams sample of a compound containing only c, h, and o was completely burned, 1.17 grams of h2o and 2.87 grams of co

SVEN [57.7K]

Answer:- $CH_2O_2$

Solution:- From given masses of carbon dioxide and water we could calculate the moles that helps to calculate the moles of C and H.

Molar mass of carbon dioxide = 44 gram per mol

molar mass of water = 18.02 gram per mol

From given info, combustion of compound gives 1.17 grams of water and 2.87 grams of carbon dioxide. Let's calculate the moles of these:

$1.17gH_2O(\frac{1mol}{18.02g})$

= $0.0649molH_2O$

Similarly, $2.87gCO_2(\frac{1mol}{44g})$

= $0.0652molCO_2$

One mol of water has two moles of H. So, the moles of H would be two times the moles of water as calculated above.

So, moles of H = 2* 0.0649 = 0.1298 mol

One mol of carbon dioxide contains one mol of C. So, the moles of C would be equal to the moles of carbon dioxide calculated above.

moles of C = 0.0652 mol

Let's convert the moles of H and C to grams so that we could calculate the amount of oxygen present in the sample as:

grams of H in sample = 1.008 x 0.1298 = 0.1308 g

grams of C in sample = 12*0.0652 = 0.7824 g

If we subtract the sum of the masses of C and H from sample mass then it would give as the mass of oxygen since the sample has only C, H and O.

mass of O in sample = 3.00g - (0.1308 g + 0.7824 g)

= 3.00 g - 0.9132 g

= 2.0868 g

Let's convert these grams of oxygen to moles on dividing by it's atomic mass as:

$2.0868gO(\frac{1mol}{15.999g})$

= 0.130 mol O

Now, we have the moles of all the three atoms and we know that an empirical formula is the simplest whole number ratio of the moles of atoms. So, let's calculate the ratio. For this, we divide the moles of each by the least one of them.Looking at the moles, the least value is for carbon. So, let's divide the moles of each by the moles of C as:

C = $\frac{0.0652}{0.0652}$ = 1
