The molecular formula of the Allicin is, C₁₈H₃₀S₆O₃ and the empirical formula is C₆H₁₀S₂O

the molecular formula can be calculated as follows:

If a percentage is provided, we will assume that the entire mass is 100 grams.

As a result, each element's mass is equal to the percentage indicated.

C weighs 44.4 g.

H weighs 6.21 g.

S weighs 39.5 g.

O's mass is 9.86 g.

C has a molar mass of 12 g/mole.

H has a molar mass of 1 g/mole.

S has a molar mass of 32 g/mole.

O has a molar mass of 16 g/mole.

first, convert given masses into moles.

Moles of C =<u>      mass C       </u>= <u>    44.4 g    </u>  = 3.7 moles

                    molar mass C       12 g/mole.

Moles of H = <u>      mass H       </u>= <u>    6.21 g</u>.<u>    </u>  = 6.21 moles

                      molar mass           1 g/mole.

Moles of S = <u>      mass S       </u>= <u>    39.5 g.    </u>  = 1.23 moles

                      molar mass          32 g/mole.

Moles of O =  <u>      mass O       </u>= <u>    9.86 g.    </u>  = 0.62 moles

                      molar mass          16 g/mole.

then we find the mole ratio by divide each value of moles by the smallest number of moles calculated.

For C =<u> 3.7 moles</u> = 5.96 ≈ 6

           0.62 moles

For H = <u> 6.21  moles</u> = 10.01≈ 10

           0.62 moles

For S = <u> 1.23 moles</u> = 1.98 ≈ 2

           0.62 moles

For O = <u> 0.62 moles</u> = 1

             0.62 moles

The ratio of C : H : S : O = 6 : 10 : 2 : 1

The Empirical formula is C₆H₁₀S₂O

The empirical formula weight = 6(12) + 10(1) + 2(32) + 1(16) = 162 gram/eq

Now we have to calculate the molecular formula of the compound.

Formula used :

n= <u>molecular formula </u>= <u>486</u> =3

    empirical formula     162

Molecular formula = (C₆H₁₀S₂O)₃ =C₁₈H₃₀S₆O₃

Therefore, the molecular of the compound is, C₁₈H₃₀S₆O₃

Substance X has a fixed volume, and the attraction between its particles is strong. Substance Y has widely spread out particles
enot [183]
Among the choices given, the correct answer is the first option. Substance X most likely is a crystal, and substance Y most likely is a liquid. Substance X having a fixed volume describes a crystal because crystals occupy a certain volume. Substance Y is a liquid because liquids can still be compressed further in order to attain a more packed <span>structure.</span>

In an electrically heated boiler, water is boiled at 140°C by a 90 cm long, 8 mm diameter horizontal heating element immersed in
RideAnS [48]

Explanation:

The given data is as follows.

Volume of water = 0.25 m^{3}

Density of water = 1000 kg/m^{3}

Therefore,  mass of water = Density × Volume

                       = 1000 kg/m^{3} \times 0.25 m^{3}

                       = 250 kg  

Initial Temperature of water (T_{1}) = 20^{o}C

Final temperature of water = 140^{o}C

Heat of vaporization of water (dH_{v}) at 140^{o}C  is 2133 kJ/kg

Specific heat capacity of water = 4.184 kJ/kg/K

As 25% of water got evaporated at its boiling point (140^{o}C) in 60 min.

Therefore, amount of water evaporated = 0.25 × 250 (kg) = 62.5 kg

Heat required to evaporate = Amount of water evapotaed × Heat of vaporization

                           = 62.5 (kg) × 2133 (kJ/kg)

                           = 133.3 \times 10^{3} kJ

All this heat was supplied in 60 min = 60(min)  × 60(sec/min) = 3600 sec

Therefore, heat supplied per unit time = Heat required/time = \frac{133.3 \times 10^{3}kJ}{3600 s} = 37 kJ/s or kW

The power rating of electric heating element is 37 kW.

Hence, heat required to raise the temperature from 20^{o}C to 140^{o}C of 250 kg of water = Mass of water × specific heat capacity × (140 - 20)

                      = 250 (kg) × 40184 (kJ/kg/K) × (140 - 20) (K)

                     = 125520 kJ  

Time required = Heat required / Power rating

                       = \frac{125520}{37}

                       = 3392 sec

Time required to raise the temperature from 20^{o}C to 140^{o}C of 0.25 m^{3} water is calculated as follows.

                    \frac{3392 sec}{60 sec/min}

                     = 56 min

Thus, we can conclude that the time required to raise the temperature is 56 min.
