Carbon(C):
number of moles= mass/molar mass(Mr)
=65.5/12
=5.5 moles
Hydrogen(H):
number of moles=mass/molar mass (Mr)
=5.5/1
=5.5 moles
Oxygen (O):
number of moles = mass/molar mass (Mr)
=29.0/16
=1.8 moles
EF= lowest number of moles over each of the elements
So,
C= 5.5/1.8 = 3
H= 5.5/1.8 = 3
O= 1.8/1.8 = 1
Therefore Emperical formula= C3H3O
Answer:

Explanation:
We want to convert from moles to grams, so we must use the molar mass.
<h3>1. Molar Mass</h3>
The molar mass is the mass of 1 mole of a substance. It is the same as the atomic masses on the Periodic Table, but the units are grams per mole (g/mol) instead of atomic mass units (amu).
We are given the compound PI₃ or phosphorus triiodide. Look up the molar masses of the individual elements.
- Phosphorus (P): 30.973762 g/mol
- Iodine (I): 126.9045 g/mol
Note that there is a subscript of 3 after the I in the formula. This means there are 3 moles of iodine in 1 mole of the compound PI₃. We should multiply iodine's molar mass by 3, then add phosphorus's molar mass.
- I₃: 126.9045 * 3=380.7135 g/mol
- PI₃: 30.973762 + 380.7135 = 411.687262 g/mol
<h3>2. Convert Moles to Grams</h3>
Use the molar mass as a ratio.

We want to convert 3.14 moles to grams, so we multiply by that value.

The units of moles of PI₃ cancel.


<h3>3. Round</h3>
The original measurement of moles has 3 significant figures, so our answer must have the same. For the number we calculated, that is the tens place.
The 2 in the ones place tells us to leave the 9.

3.14 moles of phosphorous triiodide is approximately equal to <u>1290 grams of phosphorus triodide.</u>
We first assume that this gas is an ideal gas where it follows the ideal gas equation. The said equation is expressed as: PV = nRT. From this equation, we can predict the changes in the pressure, volume and temperature. If the volume and the temperature of this gas is doubled, then the pressure still stays the same.
Answer:
V₂ ≈416.7 mL
Explanation:
This question asks us to find the volume, given another volume and 2 temperatures in Kelvin. Based on this information, we must be using Charles's Law and the formula. Remember, his law states the volume of a gas is proportional to the temperature.
where V₁ and V₂ are the first and second volumes, and T₁ and T₂ are the first and second temperature.
The balloon has a volume of 600 milliliters and a temperature of 360 K, but the temperature then drops to 250 K. So,
- V₁= 600 mL
- T₁= 360 K
- T₂= 250 K
Substitute the values into the formula.
- 600 mL /360 K = V₂ / 250 K
Since we are solving for the second volume when the temperature is 250 K, we have to isolate the variable V₂. It is being divided by 250 K. The inverse o division is multiplication, so we multiply both sides by 250 K.
- 250 K * 600 mL /360 K = V₂ / 250 K * 250 K
- 250 K * 600 mL/360 K = V₂
The units of Kelvin cancel, so we are left with the units of mL.
- 250 * 600 mL/360=V₂
- 416.666666667 mL= V₂
Let's round to the nearest tenth. The 6 in the hundredth place tells us to round to 6 to a 7.
The volume of the balloon at 250 K is approximately 416.7 milliliters.
