Answer is: empirical formula is Cu(C₂H₃O₂)₂ · H₂O.
If we use 100 grams of compound:
m(Cu) = 0,3182 · 100 g = 31,82 g.
n(Cu) = m(Cu) ÷ M(Cu).
n(Cu) = 31,82 g ÷ 63,55 g/mol.
n = 0,5 mol.
m(C₂H₃O₂) = 0,5914 · 100 g = 59,14 g.
n(C₂H₃O₂) = 59,14 g ÷ 59,14 g/mol.
n(C₂H₃O₂) = 1 mol.
m(H₂O) = 100 g - 59,14 g - 31,82 g = 9,04 g.
n(H₂O) = 9,04 g ÷ 18,02 g/mol.
n(H₂O) = 0,5 mol.
n(Cu) : n(C₂H₃O₂) : n(H₂O) = 0,5 mol : 1 mol : 0,5 mol.
n(Cu) : n(C₂H₃O₂) : n(H₂O) = 1 : 2 : 1.

How many grams of Ca(OH)2are required to make 1.5 L of a 0.81 M solution?
FrozenT [24]

Answer:

Mass = 90.28 g

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of Ca(OH)₂ = ?

Volume of solution= 1.5 L

Molarity of solution = 0.81 M

Solution:

First of all we will calculate number of moles.

Molarity = number of moles / volume in L

by putting values,

0.81 M = Number of moles / 1.5 L

Number of moles = 0.81 M × 1.5 L

Number of moles = 1.22 mol

Mass of Ca(OH)₂ in gram:

Mass = number of moles × molar mass

Mass = 1.22 mol × 74.09 g/mol

Mass = 90.28 g

What is the mass of a ink pen with triple beam balance
Gnesinka [82]
The mass of an ink pen with a triple beam balance if all the weights positioned to the right would be a maximum of 610 grams which sounds rather heavy for an ink pen but in the absence of necessary information it seems that that would have to be the answer.

temperature usually increase when water condenses which behavior of water is most directly responsible for this phenomenon?
aniked [119]

Answer:

Temperature usually increases when water condenses. What behavior of water is most directly responsible for this phenomenon? The release of heat by the formation of hydrogen bonds. Hydrogen bonds stabilize and keep the of ice farther apart than the water molecules of liquid water.
