A) C2H6O1

To find the emperical formula, divide each mole value by the smallest

For carbon, 0.013/0.0065 = 2

For hydrogen, 0.038/0.0065= 6

For oxygen, 0.0065/0.0065= 1

Emperical formula = C2H6O1

Answer:

C2H6O1

Explanation:

Empirical formula means to express the ratio of the number of atoms , i.e to identify which of the three elements appears with the smallest number of atoms in the formula, and then to get the rate of the atoms belonging to other species in respect with this one. In this molecule Oxygen shows the smallest number of moles (0.0065)  (O1)

To see how many moles of carbon correspond to 1 mole of Oxygen, divide 0.013 moles of C to 0.0065 moles of Oxygen:  0.013/0.0065 =2 Therefore for each mole of Oxygen you have two moles of C (C2)

To see how many moles of Hydrogen correspond to 1 mole of Oxygen, divide 0.039 moles of H to 0.0065 moles of Oxygen:  0.039/0.0065 =6 Therefore for each mole of Oxygen you have six moles of H  (H6)

The empirical formula is C2H6O1

An object has a total mechanical energy of 150 J. At point A, the object has a kinetic energy
nika2105 [10]

Answer:

60 J

Explanation:

The law of conservation of energy states that energy is neither created nor destroyed, just converted into different forms. This means the total mechanical energy of the object at point A will be the same as the total mechanical energy at point B, and the question tells us the total of that mechanical energy is 150 J. Note we are assuming no energy is lost from the system as heat.

At point B, if the potential energy is 90 J, the remainder of the 150 J total must be kinetic energy. KE = 150 J - 90 J = 60 J.

Why do atoms of nonmetals form anions? Support your answer with an example.
Papessa [141]
Nonmetals form negatively charged ions, or anions. They do this because they need to gain one to three electrons in order to achieve an octet of valence electrons, making them isoelectronic with the noble gas at the end of the period to which they belong.

What mass of Hg will occupy a volume of 75.0 mL?
k0ka [10]
75.0 mL in liters:

75.0 / 1000 => 0.075 L

1 mole -------------------- 22.4 L ( at STP)
( moles Hg) ------------- 0.075 L

moles Hg = 0.075 x 1 / 22.4

moles = 0.075 / 22.4

= 0.00334 moles of Hg

Hg => 200.59 u

1 mole Hg ----------------- 200.59 g
<span>0.00334 moles Hg ----- ( mass Hg )
</span>
mass Hg = 200.59 x 0.00334 / 1

mass Hg = 0.6699 / 1

= 0.6699 g of Hg
