Basile [38]1 year 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.

Which one is more reactive out of fluorine and chlorine. why?​
Vesnalui [34]

Answer:

fluorine

Explanation:

because it is at the top of the halogen group, which is the second to right group on the periodic table. With halogens, the higher an element is in the column, the more reactive it is. Halogens are reactive because the outer shells that orbit the nucleus lack electrons.

also because it has low dissociation energy and the valence bonding is seen close to the nucleus hence the attraction for a new electron is greater and can gain an extra electron more easily.-if ur in a higer grade u will understand this

Which sentence describes the bond formed between two identical atoms?
Lilit [14]
The best answer is C

Since identical atoms would have the same electronegativity, thus making its electronegativity difference close to zero, if not equal to zero (O), making the bond between the two to be covalent. Thus, a chemical bond formed between two identical atoms is a covalent bond.

The boiling point of another member of this homologous series was found to be 309 KK. What is the likely molecular formula for t
Ganezh [65]

Answer: Pentane C5H12

Explanation:

The boiling point of a substance is simply defined as the temperature whereby a liquid's vapor pressure is equal to the pressure that is surrounding the liquid and hence, the liquid will changes into vapor.

The likely molecular formula for this compound is Pentane i.e C5H12 due to the fact that its boiling point is between Butane with formula C4H10 and Hexane with formula C6H14 boiling points.
