Looks to me like C and O are virtually equal and H is double those, so:

CH_20, which is the empirical formula for carbohydrates.

<u>Answer:</u> The empirical formula for the given compound is CH_2O

<u>Explanation:</u>

We are given:

Moles of carbon = 8.33\times 10^{-2}mol

Moles of hydrogen = 0.167 moles

Moles of oxygen = 8.32\times 10^{-2}mol

To formulate the empirical formula, we need to follow some steps:

  • <u>Step 1:</u> Calculating the mole ratio of the given elements.

For the mole ratio, we divide each value of the moles by the smallest number of moles calculated which is 8.32\times 10^{-2} moles.

For Carbon = \frac{8.33\times 10^{-2}}{8.32\times 10^{-2}}=1

For Hydrogen = \frac{0.167}{8.32\times 10^{-2}}=2.01\approx 2

For Oxygen = \frac{8.32\times 10^{-2}}{8.32\times 10^{-2}}=1

  • <u>Step 2:</u> Taking the mole ratio as their subscripts.

The ratio of C : H : O = 1 : 2 : 1

Hence, the empirical formula for the given compound is CH_2O

How many electrons in an atom can have the following quantum
gavmur [86]

The answer for the following question is explained.

<u><em>Therefore the  number of electrons present with the values n = 5, l = 2, m = -2, s = +1/2 is</em></u><u> </u><u><em>one(1).</em></u>

Explanation:

Here;

n represents the principal quantum number

l represents the Azimuthal quantum number

m represents magnetic quantum number

s represents spin quantum number

n = 5,

l = 2,

m = -2,

s = +1/2

Here, it implies 5d orbital.

In the  5d  orbital, 10 electrons.

As the magnetic quantum number is -2, and so it can have 1 electron.

<u><em>Therefore the  number of electrons present with the values n = 5, l = 2, m = -2, s = +1/2 is</em></u><u> </u><u><em>one(1)</em></u>

Ethanol C₂H₆O

Explanation:

When ethanol (CH₃-CH₂-OH) is heated in the presence of the sulphuric acid (H₂SO₄) it will produce ethylene (CH₂=CH₂ ) and water (H₂O).

CH₃-CH₂-OH → CH₂=CH₂ + H₂O

In an electrically neutral atom of any element, there are equal numbers of
Masteriza [31]

Answer:

B. electrons and protons.

Explanation:

In an electrically neutral atom of any element, there are equal number of protons and electrons in the atom.

Protons are the positively charged particles in an atom.

Electrons are the negatively charged particles within the atom.

  When the number of protons and electrons are the same or equal, the atom is neutral.

But when there is an imbalance, an ion results.

A compound is composed of 13% carbon, 4.3% hydrogen, 30.4% nitrogen, and 52.2% oxygen. The mystery compound has a molar mass of
vredina [299]

Answer:

C₂H₈N₄O₆ is the molecular formula for the compound

Explanation:

Data from the problem:

13 g of C in 100 g of compound

4.3 g of H in 100 g of compound

30.4 g of N in 100 g of compound

52.2 g of O in 100 g of compound

Firstly we determine, the mass of each in 184 g of compound, which is 1 mol

(13 g / 100 g) . 184 g  = 24 g C

(4.3 g  / 100 g) . 184 g  = 7.91 g H ≅ 8 g H

(30.4 g / 100 g) . 184 g  = 56 g N

(52.2 g  / 100 g) . 184 g  = 96 g O

And now, we divide the mass by the molar mass of each to determine the moles:

24 g C / 12 g/mol = 2 mol C

8g H / 1 g/mol = 8 mol H

56 g N / 14 g/mol = 4 mol N

96 g O / 16 g/mol = 6 mol O

So the molecular formula of the compound is C₂H₈N₄O₆
