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.

Answer:

16. Option c.

Explanation:

The reaction is:

C₈H₁₈ + O₂  →  CO₂ + H₂O

Let's count, we have 8 C, 18 H and 2 O in reactant side

We have 1 C, 2 H and 3 O  in product side

In order to balance the C, we add 8 to CO₂ and to balance the H, we add a 9 to H₂O

Now we have 8 C on both sides and 18 H On both sides. Finally we have 25 O on product side.

C₈H₁₈ + O₂  →  8CO₂ + 9H₂O

To balance the O in product side we must add 25/2, but as it is a rational number, we must multiply x2 to get an integer number (x2 in all the stoichiometry). The balanced reaction is :

2C₈H₁₈ + 25O₂  →  16CO₂ + 18H₂O

with 16 C, 36 H and 50 O, on both sides

The labeled diagram is given in the image attached.

As it can be seen from the image that freezing is when energy is removed from the system at 0 ⁰ while melting is when energy is added at 0⁰.

Also when energy is added at 100⁰C, it causes boiling while when it is removed at 100⁰C, it causes condensation.


Melting point of water is 0⁰C while boiling point is 100⁰C

Determine whether each of the molecules below is polar or nonpolar. Tetrahedral C C l 4 CClX4 Nonpolar Tetrahedral C H 3 O H CHX
liraira [26]

Answer:

CCl4 - Nonpolar

CH3OH - polar

NH3 - polar

CS2 - Nonpolar

Explanation:

One important thing that we should know is that polarity has to do with the presence of a resultant dipole moment in a molecule.

Dipole moment is a vector quantity, This means that its direction is also taken into account when discussing the dipole moment of molecules.

Hence, symmetrical molecules such as CS2 and CCl4 are non-polar even though they have polar bonds because their dipoles cancel out(zero resultant dipole moment).

On the other hand, NH3 and CH3OH are non-symmetrical molecules hence they possess an overall dipole moment and are polar molecules.
