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.

?cobalt has a density of 8.90 g. what volume would 17.8 g of Cobalt occupy?
Airida [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Density of cobalt = 8.9gcm⁻³

Mass of cobalt = 17.8g

Solution

Density can be defined as the mass per unit volume of a substance:

                      Density = \frac{mass in g}{volume in cm^{3} }

The unknown in the problem is Volume:

                    Volume = \frac{mass}{Density}

                     Volume =   \frac{17.8}{8.9} = 2cm³

When is an isotope considered stable?<br> (Select all that apply.)
GaryK [48]

Explanation:

A stable isotope is one that does not emit radiation, or, if it does its half-life is too long to have been measured. It is believed that the stability of the nucleus of an isotope is determined by the ratio of neutrons to protons.
