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

The [OH-] of a solution is 7.89 10^-12 M. What is the pH of the solution? it acidic or basic? *
kompoz [17]

Answer: pH = 2,897 , basic[H+][OH-] = 10^{-14} ==> [H+] = \frac{10^{-14}}{7,89*10^{-12} } =\frac{1}{789} \\pH= -lg([H+]) = 2,897 \\pH basic

Determine which set of properties correctly describes copper (Cu)?
Yakvenalex [24]

Answer:

D. Malleable, conducts electricity, high melting point, giant structure, metallic lattice

Explanation:

Copper is a metal with an atomic number of 29. This metal is soft and reddish in color which explains why it is very malleable(beaten to form various shapes without breaking).

All metals are good conductors of electricity including copper which is also a metal. Metals generally are insoluble in water. Copper also has a high melting point which is a characteristic of metals due to their giant structure and metallic lattice which makes it difficult to be broken down.

1. An electric power plant uses energy from burning coal to generate steam at 450 °C. The plant is cooled by 20 °C water
kap26 [50]

Answer:

Explanation:

Efficiency of the electric power plant is e=1-\frac{T_{2}}{T_{1}}

Here Temperature of hot source T_{1} = 450^{o}C=450+273=723 K

and Temperature of sink T_{1} = 20^{o}C=20+273=293 K

Hence the efficiency is  e=1-\frac{293}{723}=0.5947=59.47%

Now another formula for thermal efficiency Is

e_{therm}=\frac{Q_{1}-Q_{2}}{Q_{1}}=\frac{W}{Q_{1}}

Here QI is the of heat taken from source 100 MJ ; Q2 of heat transferred to the sink (river) to be found

W is the of work done and W = QI -Q2

Hence Frome_{therm}=\frac{Q_{1}-Q_{2}}{Q_{1}}=\frac{W}{Q_{1}}

W=e(Q_{1})=(0.5947)(100)=59.47MJ

Hence the of heat transferred to the river Is Q_{2} -W = (100 -59.47=40.53
