Answer:

C5H6N2O3

Explanation:

First the empirical formulas

C= 41.8÷12= 2.48

H= 4.7÷1= 4.7

O= 37.3÷ 16= 2.33

N= 16.3÷14 = 1.16

Divide by the smallest

C= 3.48/1.16=3

H= 4.7/1.16=4.1

O= 2.33/1.16=2

N= 1.16/1.16=1

Therefore empirical formula = C3H4NO2

To calculate molecular formula for osmotic pressure,

π= cRT

Or

π=cgRT/M where cg is in g/liter & T is temperature in Kelvin. Thus

π= (7.480*0.0821*300)/ M

M= 184.23/1.43

M= 128.83

To find molecular Formula

Molecular Mass= (empirical mass)n

128.83= (C3H4NO2)n

128.83= 86n

n= 1.5

Therefore the molecular formula

(C3H4NO2)1.5

= C4.5H6N1.5O3

Approximately

C5H6N2O3

Which event is most likely an example of a chemical reaction
Inessa [10]

Explanation:

One example of a chemical reaction is the rusting of a steel garbage can. That rusting happens because the iron (Fe) in the metal combines with oxygen (O2) in the atmosphere. Chemical bonds are created and destroyed to finally make iron oxide (Fe2O3).

A particular solution of NaOH has hydronium concentration of 4x10-9 M. what is the solution’s pH?
bearhunter [10]

Answer:

The pH of the solution is 8, 40-

Explanation:

The pH indicates the acidity or basicity of a substance. PH values between 0 and less than 7 indicate acidic solutions, 7 neutral and greater than 7 to 14 basic. It is calculated as

pH = -log (H30+)

pH= -log (4x10-9M)

<em>pH=8,40</em>

Predict the reactivity of silicon in water relative to that of sodium, magnesium, and aluminium. Explain your answer. How does t
Inessa [10]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

The reactivity of metals has a lot to do with their position in the electrochemical series. However, it is also known that metallic character decreases across the period. This implies that as we move from left to right along the periodic table. Sodium, magnesium, aluminum and silicon continues to decrease in metallic character. As a matter of fact, silicon is a metalloid and not a pure metal.

Sodium reacts with cold water to give a vigorous reaction,magnesium and aluminium reacts with steam at red heat.

Silicon does not react with water, even as steam, under normal conditions.

Who discovered atomic structure​
Yuliya22 [10]
John Dalton

Although the concept of the atom dates back to the ideas of Democritus, the English meteorologist and chemist John Dalton formulated the first modern description of it as the fundamental building block of chemical structures.
