The main reasons why h2co has a higher vapor pressure at a given temperature when compared to ch3oh is that h2co

6 0

You know that each carbon atom can take as much as 4 bonds with other elements. A hydrogen can only take one bond, while an oxygen can take 2. Thus, the chemical formula of H₂CO may be written as H₂C=O which is acetaldehyde. Acetaldehyde is an aldehyde. It has a higher vapor pressure because aldehydes have much stronger bonds than hydrogen bonds in alcohols. Hence, it would need a lot energy, thus higher vapor pressure, to break the bonds of an aldehyde than it would for an alcohol.

Mg + 2AgNO3 -> 2Ag + Mg(NO3)2

9966 [12]

Answer:

Explanation:

We'll assume there is an excess of silver nitrate, so that all 12.0 moles of the magnesium (Mg) will react.

The balanced equation tells us we'll obtain 2 moles of Ag for every 1 mole of magnesium, for a molar ratio of 2/1.

Starting with 12.00 moles Mg, we would therefore hope to find twice that, or 24.00 moles of Ag.

To convert to grams, find the molar mass of Ag from the periodic table.

Ag has a molar mass of 107.9 (to 4 sig figs) grams/mole.

(24.00 moles)*(107.9 grams/mole) = 2590 grams (4 sig figs)

Hands off, it's mine.

Will calcium metal react with chromium (III) chloride? Explain your answer

iren [92.7K]

Calcium metal with chromium(III) chloride would react. Calcium metal is more reactive than chromium metal; therefore, putting calcium metal in chromium chloride would create a reaction, where as putting chromium metal in calcium chloride would not form any reaction.

Which formula is an empirical formula?

poizon [28]

<h2>Hello!</h2>

The answer is:

The empirical formula is the option B. $NH_{3}$

The empirical formula of a compound is the simplest formula that can be written. On the opposite, the molecular formula involves a variant of the same compound, but it can be also simplified to an empirical formula.

$MolecularFormula=n(EmpiricalFormula)$

We are looking for a formula that cannot be simplified by dividing the number of molecules/atoms that conforms the compound.

Let's discard option by option in order to find which formula is an empirical formula (cannot be simplified)

A. $N_{2}O_{4}$

It's not an empirical formula, it's a molecular formula since it can be obtained by multiplying the empirical formula of the same compound.

$N_{2}O_{4}=2(NO_{2})$

B. $NH_{3}$

It's an empirical formula since it cannot be obtained by the multiplication of a whole number and the simplest formula. It's the simplest formula that we can find of the compound.

C. $C_{3}H_{6}$
