Answer:

Empirical CHO2

Molecular C2H2O4

Explanation:

To determine the formulas, firstly, we need to divide the percentage compositions by the atomic masses.

Kindly note that the atomic mass of carbon, oxygen and hydrogen are 12, 16 and 1 respectively. We proceed with the division as follows:

C = 26.7/12 = 2.225

H = 2.2/1 = 2.2

O = 71.1/16 = 4.44375

We then proceed to divide by the smallest value which is 2.2 in this case

C = 2.25/2.2 = 1

H = 2.2/2.2 = 1

O = 4.44375/2.2 = 2

Thus, the empirical formula is CHO2

We now proceed to get the molecular formula as follows

[12+ 1 + 16(2) ]n = 90.04

45n = 90.04

n = 90.04/45 = 2

The molecular formula is :

C2H2O4

Which of the following takes place during a redox reaction? A. Electrons are gained only. B. Electrons are lost only. C. Electro
zhannawk [14.2K]
I believe the correct answer from the choices listed above is option C. Electrons are both gained and <span>lost during a redox reaction. From the name itself "redox" or reduction-oxidation, it must be that something has reduced and another has gained that something.</span>

A transition metal in the fourth period from the following list : Cu, O , Pr, Ag
Kaylis [27]

Answer:

Cu

Explanation:

Groups 3 - 12 (or groups IIA - IIB) of the periodic table contain transition elements. Transaction elements start from period four (4) of the periodic table. The phrase alludes to the fact that the d sublevel is filling at a lower main energy level than the s sublevel that came before it.

The transition elements' arrangement is inverted from the fill order, with the 4 s filled prior to the actual 3 d begins. The transition elements are commonly referred to as transition metals since they are all metals. They are less reactive than the metals in Groups 1 and 2 and have normal metallic characteristics.

From the options given Cu is the only transition metal in the fourth period on the periodic table.

How many grams of the excess reactant are left over according to the reaction below given that you start with 10.0 g of Al and 1
valentinak56 [21]
<span>4 Al + 3 O2 → 2 Al2O3 

(10.0 g Al) / (26.98154 g Al/mol) = 0.37062 mol Al 
(19.0 g O2) / (31.99886 g O2/mol) = 0.59377 mol O2 

0.37062 mole of Al would react completely with 0.37062 x (3/4) = 0.277965 mole of O2, but there is more O2 present than that, so O2 is in excess. 

((0.59377 mol O2 initially) - (0.277965 mol O2 reacted)) x (31.99886 g O2/mol) = 
10.1 g O2 left over</span><span>
