Answer:
The correct answer is B.
Explanation:
The molecule of water has 2 atoms of hydrogen and 1 atom of oxygen.
The ratio of masses are given as:
This illustrates the law of definite proportions which is also known as law of constant compositions .
The law states that 'the elements combining to form compound always combine in a fixed ratio by their mass.'
Whereas :
Law of multiple proportion states that when two elements combine with each other to form more than one compounds , the mass of one element with respect to the fixed mass of another element are in ratio of small whole numbers.
Law of conservation of mass states that mass can neither be created nor be destroyed but it can only be transformed from one form to another form.
In a balanced chemical reaction ,total mass on the reactant side must be equal to the total mass on the product side.
Law of conservation of energy states that energy can neither be created nor be destroyed but it can only be transformed from one form to another form.
Strontium (Sr). Elements in the same group of the periodic table have similar characteristics.
1 mole of carbon dioxide contains a mass of 44 g, out of which 12 g are carbon.
Hence, in this case the mass of carbon in 8.46 g of CO2:
(12/44) × 8.46 = 2.3073 g
1 mole of water contains 18 g, out of which 2 g is hydrogen;
Therefore, 2.6 g of water contains;
(2/18) × 2.6 = 0.2889 g of hydrogen.
Therefore, with the amount of carbon and hydrogen from the hydrocarbon we can calculate the empirical formula.
We first calculate the number of moles of each,
Carbon = 2.3073/12 = 0.1923 moles
Hydrogen = 0.2889/1 = 0.2889 moles
Then, we calculate the ratio of Carbon to hydrogen by dividing with the smallest number value;
Carbon : Hydrogen
0.1923/0.1923 : 0.2889/0.1923
1 : 1.5
(1 : 1.5) 2
= 2 : 3
Hence, the empirical formula of the hydrocarbon is C2H3
To find the concentration of hydronium ions, take 10 raised to the negative pH:
10^-9.56= 2.75 x10^-10M
To find the concentration of hydroxide ions, take 10 raised to the negative pOH: 10^-4.44 = 3.63 x10^-5M
