We already know the molar mass of C is 12.01g/mol, of H is 1.008 g/mol, and of O is 16g/mol.

If the molecular formula were also the empirical formula (which is CH2O), then it would have a molar mass of:
12.01g/mol +2*(1.008g/mol)+ 16g/mol= 30.03g/mol

However, the actual molar mass of the molecular formula is 60.g/mol, which is about twice as large as 30.03g/mol. Therefore, we have to multiply the empirical formula by 2.

The molecular formula of this compound is (2) C2H4O2.

Hope this would help~

How do you figure out the final temperature or the initial temperature in calorimetry.
Zolol [24]
Add the change in temperature to your substance's original temperature to find its final heat. For example, if your water was initially at 24 degrees Celsius, its final temperature would be: 24 + 6, or 30 degrees Celsius.

This question deals with waste disposal in the Solutions and Spectroscopy experiment. What should be done to waste solutions con
Korvikt [17]

Answer:

b. It should be dumped in a beaker labeled "waste copper" on one's bench during the experiment.

d. It should be disposed of in the bottle for waste copper ion when work is completed.

Explanation:

Solutions containing copper ion should never be disposed of by dumping them in a sink or in common trash cans, because this will cause pollution in rivers, lakes and seas, being a contaminating agent to both human beings and animals. They should be placed in appropriate compatible containers that can be hermetically sealed. The sealed containers must be labeled with the name and class of hazardous substance they contain and the date they were generated.

It never should be returned to the bottle containing the solution, since it can contaminate the solution of the bottle.

In the Solutions and Spectroscopy experiments there is always wastes.

Which gas is produced when dilute hydrochloric acid is added to a reactive metal.
Digiron [165]

Hydrogen gas is produced when dilute hydrochloric acid is added to a reactive metal.

Balanced molecular equation of sodim metal with hydrochloric acid:

2Na(s) + 2HCl(aq) → 2NaCl(aq) + H₂(g).

Ionic equation: 2Na(s) + 2H⁺(aq) + 2Cl⁻(aq) → 2Na⁺ + 2Cl⁻(aq) + H₂(g).

Net ionic equation: 2Na(s) + 2H⁺(aq) → 2Na⁺(aq) + H₂(g).

Sodium is oxidized from oxidation number 0 (Na) to oxidation number +1, hydrogen is reduced from oxidation number +1 to oxidation number 0 (hydrogen gas H₂).

Another example:

Balanced chemical equation: Zn(s) + 2HCl(aq) → ZnCl₂(aq) + H₂(g)

Word equation: zinc + hydrochloric acid → zinc chloride + hydrogen gas
