Answer: The molecular formula will be CF_4

Explanation:

If percentage are given then we are taking total mass is 100 grams.

So, the mass of each element is equal to the percentage given.

Mass of C= 13.65 g

Mass of F = 86.35 g

Step 1 : convert given masses into moles.

Moles of C =\frac{\text{ given mass of C}}{\text{ molar mass of C}}= \frac{13.65g}{12g/mole}=1.138moles

Moles of F=\frac{\text{ given mass of F}}{\text{ molar mass of F}}= \frac{86.35g}{19g/mole}=4.545moles

Step 2 : For the mole ratio, divide each value of moles by the smallest number of moles calculated.

For C = \frac{1.138}{1.138}=1

For F = \frac{4.545}{1.138}=4

The ratio of C : F= 1: 4

Hence the empirical formula is CF_4

The empirical weight of CF = 1(12)+4(19)= 88g.

The molecular weight = 88.01 g/mole

Now we have to calculate the molecular formula.

n=\frac{\text{Molecular weight }}{\text{Equivalent weight}}=\frac{88.01}{88}=

The molecular formula will be=1\times CF_4=CF_4

A sample of oxygen gas occupies a volume of 2.,0cm3 at pressure of 700K pa. what will be pressure of the same sample occupies a
expeople1 [14]

Answer:

The pressure will be 933.33 Kpa

Explanation:

Given that:

Volume V₁ = 200 cm³  (note, there is a mistake in the volume. It is supposed to be 200 cm³)

Pressure P₁ = 700 Kpa

Pressure P₂ = ??? (unknown)

Volume V₂ = 150 cm³

Temperature = constant

Using Boyle's law:

PV = constant

i.e.

P₁V₁ = P₂V₂

700 Kpa × 200 cm³ = P₂ × 150 cm³

P₂ = (700 Kpa × 200 cm³)/150 cm³

P₂ = 933.33 Kpa
