Basile [38]2 years ago

Given, 33.019 mol of co₂ of and 6.75g of  h₂o

mol of co₂ = mass/molar mass = 33.01g/44gmol = 0.75 mol

Since 1mol have co₂ 1 mol c

Hence 0.75 mol have = 0.75 mol

Now,

mol of H₂O = 6.75g/18gmol = 0.375 mol

Since 1mol H20 have = 2 mol H

Hence 0.375 mol H20 have = 2x0.375 mol H = 0.75 mol H.

Now

mol of H = [0.75 mol x4] = 3mol

mol of c = [0.75 molx4] = 3 mol

Hence

Empirical Formula = CH.

This is done by dividing the atomic mass by the molecular mass and then multiplying it by the mass of the compound is made. Therefore, the molecular formula for this hydrocarbon is CH3 because it has a ratio of 1 carbon atom to 3 hydrogen atoms. The general formula for saturated hydrocarbons with one ring is CnH2n. Most compounds require information other than the chemical formula to elucidate the structure. However, the CH ratio in the chemical formula can provide information about the chemical structure.

Given the balanced equation representing a reaction: HCl + H₂O → H₃O⁺ + Cl⁻ The water molecule acts as a base because it
Wittaler [7]

Answer:

accepts an H⁺

Explanation:

The following balanced ionic equation is given in this question;

HCl + H₂O → H₃O⁺ + Cl⁻

According to Brønsted–Lowry acid–base theory, a base is any substance that can accept hydrogen ions or protons (H+). Using this definition for the above equation, water (H2O) accepts a proton or H+ that was donated by HCl to form H30+ (hydronium ion), hence, water is acting as a BASE in this reaction because it accepts an H+.

sergij07 [2.7K]

Answer:

CaF2

Explanation:

1 mole of CaF2 = 78.0748064 grams

78 times 3.33= 259.74

the others multiplied were nowhere near 260 grams either

elena55 [62]

Answer:

it gets reduced from a +3 oxidation to a 0.

Explanation:

the decomposition of iron oxide to elemenTal can be represented by the following equation: iron oxide (Fe203), the oxidation state of iron is +3 while that of oxygen is -2. therefore, the above reaction is a redox (reduction oxidation reaction)
