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

Why do planets rotate around our sun
Andrei [34K]

Answer:

the most basic way i can put it is..

Explanation:

the planets rotate around the sun is because the gravity of the sun keeps them in their orbits. if the sun wasnt there, the earth would literally just travel in a straight line. but the gravity of the sun alters its course, making it travel around the sun.

The number of atoms present in 2.5 mole of triatomic gas is equivalent to ​
RUDIKE [14]

Answer: 1.41725 X 10^{24} atoms

Explanation:

One male of any gas containing no. of atoms$=6.023\times10^{23}$

2.5 moles of gas containing no. of atoms$=2.5\times6.023\times10^{23}$$=15.0575\times10^{23}$

The given gas is triatomic gas. Hence

No. of atoms$=3\times15.075\times10^{23}$

$=14.1725\times10^{23}$\\$=1.41725\times10^{24}$

Perform the following
Dmitry [639]

Answer:

0.5474

Explanation:

3.22 x 0.17

     \/

322 x 17 = 5,474

[] There are four places "after" the decimal in 3.22 and 0.17 combined, meaning we move the decimal to the right four times in our current answer

-> 5,474 becomes 0.5474

Have a nice day!

     I hope this is what you are looking for, but if not - comment! I will edit and update my answer accordingly. (ノ^∇^)

What volume does 2.25g of nitrogen gas, N2, occupy at 273 Celsius and 1.02 atm​
kotykmax [81]
<h2><u>Answer:</u></h2>

0.126 Liters

<h2><u>Explanation:</u></h2>

V = mRT / mmP

First, convert the 2.25g of Nitrogen gas into moles. (m in the equation above)

2.25g x 1 mole / 28.0g = 0.08036 moles = m

28.0g = mm

Next, convert the 273 Celsius into Kelvin. (T in the equation above)

273 Celsius + 273.15 = 546.15K = T

R = 0.08206L*atm/mol*K

(Quick Note: The R changes depending on the Pressure Unit so do not use this number every time.)

Now, plug everything into the equation.

V = (0.08036)(0.08206)(546.15)/(28.0)(1.02)

V = 0.126 L
