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

When 1.00 g of boron is burned in o2(g) to form b2o3(s), enough heat is generated to raise the temperature of 733 g of water fro
Bas_tet [7]
<span>Answer: For this problem, you would need to know the specific heat of water, that is, the amount of energy required to raise the temperature of 1 g of water by 1 degree C. The formula is q = c X m X delta T, where q is the specific heat of water, m is the mass and delta T is the change in temperature. If we look up the specific heat of water, we find it is 4.184 J/(g X degree C). The temperature of the water went up 20 degrees. 4.184 x 713 x 20.0 = 59700 J to 3 significant digits, or 59.7 kJ. Now, that is the energy to form B2O3 from 1 gram of boron. If we want kJ/mole, we need to do a little more work. To find the number of moles of Boron contained in 1 gram, we need to know the gram atomic mass of Boron, which is 10.811. Dividing 1 gram of boron by 10.811 gives us .0925 moles of boron. Since it takes 2 moles of boron to make 1 mole B2O3, we would divide the number of moles of boron by two to get the number of moles of B2O3. .0925/2 = .0462 moles...so you would divide the energy in KJ by the number of moles to get KJ/mole. 59.7/.0462 = 1290 KJ/mole.</span>

When 6.0 mol Al react with 13 mol HCl, what is the limiting reactant, and how many moles of H2 can be formed? 2Al + 6HCl → 2AlCl
4vir4ik [10]

Well, we need to find the ratio of Al to the other reactant.


Al:HCl = 1:3


--> this means that for every 1 Al used, you have to use 3 HCl.



6*3 = 18 moles of HCl needed to fully react with 6 moles of Al. Since 13<18, HCL is the limiting reactant.



The ratio of HCl:AlCl = 3:1



13/3 = 4.3333...



The final answer is HCl is the limiting reactant with 4.3 moles of AlCl3 able to be produced.



Hope this helps!!! :)
