1. Calculate the empirical formula of a compound that contains 2% hydrogen, 74 % carbon and 24% oxygen.

Chemistry
1 answer:
Ludmilka [50]3 years ago
5 0

empirical formula = when the percentage compositions by mass of elements in a compound are divided by their relative atomic masses.

from the obtained amount the smallest amount will divide all.

the answers can then be rounded off if in decimals or they can be multiplied by 2 if they have .5 decimals e.g 2.5 , 7.5 , etc.

solution: HYDROGEN    CARBON      OXYGEN

                2/1                      74/12               24/16

                  2                         6.167                 1.5

                  2 / 1.5                  6.167 / 1.5           1.5 / 1.5

                  1.333                        4.111                   1

                      1                              4                        1


answer :     C4OH

If the pH of vinegar is 3.0, what is the concentration of H+ in vinegar?
Cerrena [4.2K]

Answer: The concentration of H^{+} ions in vinegar is 0.001 M.

Explanation:

Given: pH = 3.0

pH is the negative logarithm of concentration of hydrogen ion.

The expression for pH is as follows.

pH = - log [H^{+}]

Substitute the value into above expression as follows.

pH = - log [H^{+}]\\3.0 = - log [H^{+}]\\conc. of H^{+} = antilog (- 3.0)\\= 0.001 M

Thus, we can conclude that the concentration of H^{+} ions in vinegar is 0.001 M.

An atom has 11 protons, 10 electrons and 13 neutrons. What is the<br> charge for this atom?
Aliun [14]

Answer:

<h3>the charge is +1 </h3>

Explanation:

<h3>as we know nutral atom have equal number of protons and electrons</h3><h3>from the give this element have 11 protons so if it is nutral it must have 11 electrons,but in the question this atom is charged this means it gains or losts certain amount of electrons , this atom has 11 proton and 10 electron from this we can understand this atom dicreases by 1 from its proton, this means it losts one electron .</h3><h3>when an atom lostes electron it's charge become positive with the number of electrons it lostes .</h3><h3>this atom lost 1 electron there fore it have +1 charge and become ion called cathion</h3>

What is the net charge of a nitrogen atom with 8 electrons
DaniilM [7]

Answer:

– 1

Explanation:

From the question given above, we obtained the following:

Electron = 8

Net charge of nitrogen =.?

Nitrogen has atomic number of 7. This also means that nitrogen has 7 proton because atomic number of an element is the equal to number of protons in the atom of the element.

Thus, we can obtain the net charge of nitrogen with 8 electrons by calculating the difference between the protons and electrons of the nitrogen atom. This can be obtained as follow:

Proton = 7

Electron = 8

Net charge = Proton – Electron

Net charge = 7 – 8

Net charge = – 1

Therefore, the net charge of the nitrogen atom with 8 electrons is – 1
