A fat is composed of long chains of carbon and hydrogen atoms. In a reaction with a strong base, a fat forms a soap and glycerol

. What is the empirical formula of a fat containing 77.60 % carbon, 11.45 % oxygen, and 10.95 % hydrogen? What is its molecular formula if its molecular mass is 1253 g/mol?

Answer:

Empirical formula is C₉H₁₅O

Molecular formula = C₈₁H₁₃₅O ₉

Explanation:

Percentage of carbon = 77.60%

Percentage of oxygen = 11.45%

Percentage of hydrogen = 10.95%

Molecular weight = 1253 g/mol

Molecular formula = ?

Empirical formula = ?

Solution:

Number of gram atoms of C = 77.60 g /12g/mol =6.5

Number of gram atoms of O = 11.45 g / 16 g/mol = 0.72

Number of gram atoms of H = 10.95 g / 1.008 g/mol= 10.9

Atomic ratio:

C               :            H                 :    O

6.5/0.72   :       10.9/0.72         :   0.72/0.72

     9          :            15              :         1

C : H : O = 9 : 15 : 1

Empirical formula is C₉H₁₅O

Molecular formula:

Molecular formula = n (empirical formula)

n = molar mass of compound / empirical formula mass

n = 1253 / 139

n = 9

Molecular formula = n (empirical formula)

Molecular formula = 9 (C₉H₁₅O )

Molecular formula = C₈₁H₁₃₅O ₉

Which method is suitable for collection a a<br>carbon dioxide.Explain​
mel-nik [20]

Answer:

Carbon dioxide can be collected over water. Carbon dioxide is slightly soluble in water and denser than air, so another way to collect it is in a dry, upright gas jar.

What is the length in inches (in) of a 100-meter soccer field?
max2010maxim [7]

Answer:

3937 inches

Explanation:

1m = 39.37 inches.

However, we want to know how long a 100m soccer field is, so we have to times the value for 1m by 100.

Therefore, an 100m soccer field = 100 x 39.37 = 3937 inches

Why do you think it is a bad idea to use taste, touch, or smell to identify an<br> unknown chemical?
miv72 [106K]

Answer:

Because it can cause health problems or injuries to our sense organs.

Explanation:

Chemicals in the laboratory are made up of different constituents, which may be dangerous or injurious to health. This is the reason why safety measures or precautions have to be taken when working in the laboratory. One of those safety measures is that "one should never use taste, touch, or smell to identify an unknown chemical".

This is so because a chemical that is unknown amounts to the fact that what such chemical contains is unknown, hence, the chemical might have the ability to cause harm or injuries to the sense organ. For example, a conc. acid that is tasted will burn the tongue etc.
