The empirical formula CH₂O has a mass [(12 × 1) + (1 × 2) + (16 × 1)] = 30 g/mol
If the empirical formula is 30 g/mol,
and the molecular formula is 60 g/mol
Then the multiple is = 60 g/mol ÷ 30 g/mol
= 2
Therefor the molecular formula is 2(CH₂O) = C₂H₄O₂ (OPTION 2)
Peer review involves subjecting the author's scholarly work and research to the scrutiny of other experts in the same field to check its validity and evaluate its suitability for publication. A peer review helps the publisher decide whether a work should be accepted.
Answer:
Explanation:
Given that,
The distance between the centers of the two oxygen atoms in an oxygen molecule is 
.
We need to convert this distance in inches.
We know that,
1 cm = 0.393 inches
We can solve it as follows :
So, the distance between the centers of the two oxygen atoms is 
.
Number of moles in the K2SO4 sample
= (16/1000)*1.04= 0.01664 mol
Number of moles in the Ba(NO3)2 sample
= (14.3/1000*0.880)= 0.01258 mol
Since the reaction is a 1:1 ratio between the two reactants, the limiting reagent is the one containing a smaller number of moles, namely Ba(NO3)2.
The molecular mass of BaSO4 is 137.3+(32.06+4*16.00)=233.4
Therefore the theoretical yield of Barium Sulphate is
233.4*0.01258=2.937 g
Actual yield = 2.60 g (given)
Therefore the percentage yield = 2.60/2.937=88.54%
Answer:
1. the limiting reagent is Barium Nitrate (Ba(NO3)2)
2. the theoretical yield is 2.94 g
3. the percentage yield is 88.5%
I apologize for the mistake previous to this update.
