Assume there is 100 grams of the compound. The amounts of each elements would be: 47.08 g C, 6.59 g H and 46.33 g Cl. Convert them to moles.

mol C: 47.08 g * 1 mol/12 g = 3.9233
mol H: 6.59 g * 1mol/1g = 6.59
mol Cl: 46.33 g * 1mol/35.45 g = 1.3069

Divide the smallest amount of moles to each moles of the elements:
C: 3.9233/1.3069 = 3
H: 6.59/1.3069 = 5
Cl: 1.3069/1.3069 = 1

Therefore, the empirical formula of the compound is C₃H₅Cl.

The speed of light is 3.00×108m/s. How long does it take for light to travel from Earth to the Moon and back again?
grandymaker [24]
The variable we have to determine for this problem is the time. Since the given information is speed, we have to know the distance so that we can solve for the time. From literature, the distance between the Earth and the moon is 384,400,000 meters. Therefore,

Speed = Distance/Time
Time = Distance/Speed
Time = 384,400,000 m/ 3×10⁸ m/s = 1.28 seconds

2 SO3 (g) + Heat <-----> 2 SO2 (g) + O2 (g)
Step2247 [10]

Answer:

The concentration of SO₂ will decreases

Explanation:

As you can see in the reaction

2 moles of gas ⇆ 3 moles of gas

Based on Le Châtelier's principle, a change doing in a system will produce that the system reacts in order to counteract the change made.

If the pressure is increased, the system will shift to the left in order to produce less moles of gas and decrease, thus, the pressure.

As the system shift to the left, the concentration of SO₂ will decreases

Why couldn't you substitute 3m H2SO4 for concentrated HNO3 when oxidizing copper?
schepotkina [342]

This question seems to be an essay question from experiment. Different solution of oxidizing agent will have different strength.  Sulfuric acid or H2SO4 is weaker oxidizing agent when compared to nitric acid (HNO3). In this case, if you subtitute the H2SO4 you wouldn't be able to get the same result for the experiment.
