Empirical formula is C2H6O

What is empirical formula?

While the molecular formula provides the precise quantity of each unique element present in a molecule, the empirical formula of a compound provides the simplest ratio of the number of various atoms present. It is an empirical formula if it has been simplified. The empirical formula is multiplied by the widely used molecular formula.

mass of CO2 = 76.4 g or after dividing by the molar mass 44 = 1.7360 moles of CO2 since there is 1 mole so C in CO2 = 1.7360 moles of C or 20.851 g of C which is the mass of C in the compound mass of H2O = 46.96 g or after dividing by the molar mass 18 = 2.6067 moles of H2O or since there are 2 moles of H in 1 moles of H2

molar ratio of C : H :O = 1.73598 : 5.2133 : 0.86843

or after dividing by the smallest 0.86843

molar ratio of C : H :O = 1.999 : 6.003 : 1.000

empirical formula is C2H6O

What is the molarity of a NaOH solution if 28.2 mL of a 0.355 M H2SO4 solution is required to neutralize a 25.0-mL sample of the
Anni [7]

Answer:

A) 0.801

Explanation:

The reaction that takes place is:

  • 2NaOH + H₂SO₄ → Na₂SO₄ + 2H₂O

First we c<u>alculate the H₂SO₄ moles that reacted</u>:

  • 0.355 M * 28.2 mL = 10.011 mmol H₂SO₄

Now we <u>convert H₂SO₄ moles to NaOH moles</u>:

  • 10.011 mmol H₂SO₄ * \frac{2mmolNaOH}{1mmolH_2SO_4} = 20.022 mmol NaOH

Finally we <u>calculate the molarity of the NaOH solution</u>:

  • 20.022 mmol NaOH / 25.0 mL = 0.801 M

So the answer is option A.

When food spoils, it is a chemical reaction. For example, rancid butter is produced when the fat molecules in the butter undergo
Sergio039 [100]

Answer: Decreases the rate of reaction

  • Remove water from food by dehydration.
  • Transport food in a refrigerated truck.
  • Store food in airtight containers.
  • Store food in a refrigerator after opening.

Does not decrease the rate of reaction

  • Store food in the open air.
  • Place food on a warm surface.

Explanation: Dehydration of food excludes water from food which is one of the factor needed by microorganisms for growth, <em>so it decreaese the rate of reaction.</em>

Transporting food in refrigerated trucks lowers the temperature of food and not many microorganisms are active at very low temperatures, so it <em>decreases the rate of reaction.</em>

Storing food in airtight containers excludes air which is one of the factors required for microbial activity, so <em>it decreases reaction rate.</em>

Storing food in refrigerators after opening also <em>lowers the temperature of food and hence the the rate of microbial activit</em>y.

Storing food in the open air <em>does not decrease microbial activity</em> instead it provides microorganisms with the favorable conditions for their activity such as air and water from water vapor in the air.

Placing food on a warm surface <em>does not decrease rate of reaction</em> because microorganisms are very active in warm and humid environments.

How does frost form?
hram777 [196]

Answer:

Frost forms when an outside surface cools past the dew point.

Example: The dew point is the point where the air gets so cold, the water vapor in the atmosphere turns into liquid. This liquid freezes. If it gets cold enough, little bits of ice, or frost, form.
