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.

If 4.50 g of (nh4)2so4 is dissolved in enough water to form 250. ml of solution, what is the molarity of the solution?
natima [27]
The molarity of a solution is the number of moles of a substance in one liter of that substance. 
The molar mass of ammonium sulfate (NH4)2SO4 is 132.14 grams/mole
Calculate the moles of ammonium sulfate:
(4.50 grams)/(132.14 grams/mole) = 0.0341 moles of ammonium sulfate
convert mL to Liters 250. mL becomes 0.250 liters
Take the number of moles over the number of liters
0.0341 moles / 0.250 liters = 0.136 molar or 0.136M = molarity of the solution

Please help me with this: Create 20 bullet points specifically about energy exchanges in Earth's systems. Also, it doesn't have
raketka [301]

The below is about the energy exchanges in earth systems.                                                                                                          

<u>Explanation</u>:

  • Energy exchanges in earth systems are of many types.  The earth systems are atmosphere, geosphere, stratosphere, hydrosphere, and biosphere. All these earth systems exchange energy with each other.
  • The earth gains energy reflected from the sky. It converts that energy back to space. That energy is equally given to all the planets in the sky.
  • Each planet will absorb that energy and radiate heat. This heat is absorbed by all the places on the earth. So this is the energy exchange in the earth systems.

Which response includes all of the following processes that are accompanied by an increase in entropy?
dlinn [17]

Answer:

1 and 3.

Explanation:

The entropy measures the randomness of the system, as higher is it, as higher is the entropy. The randomness is associated with the movement and the arrangement of the molecules. Thus, if the molecules are moving faster and are more disorganized, the randomness is greater.

So, the entropy (S) of the phases increases by:

S solid < S liquid < S gases.

1. The substance is going from solid to gas, thus the entropy is increasing.

2. The substance is going from a disorganized way (the molecules of I are disorganized) to an organized way (the molecules join together to form I2), thus the entropy is decreasing.

3. The molecules go from an organized way (the atom are joined together) to a disorganized way, thus the entropy increases.

4. The ions are disorganized and react to form a more organized molecule, thus the entropy decreases.
