What is the molecular formula of a compound with the empirical formula

Chemistry
1 answer:
ipn [44]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:  C_2H_2O_2

Explanation:

Molecular formula is the chemical formula which depicts the actual number of atoms of each element present in the compound.  

Empirical formula is the simplest chemical formula which depicts the whole number of atoms of each element present in the compound.

The empirical formula is CHO

The empirical weight of CHO = 1(12)+1(1)+1(16)= 29 g.

The molecular weight = 60 g/mole

Now we have to calculate the molecular formula:

n=\frac{\text{Molecular weight}}{\text{Equivalent weight}}=\frac{60}{29}=2

The molecular formula will be=2\times CHO=C_2H_2O_2

Thus molecular formula will be C_2H_2O_2

The acid-dissociation constants of HC3H5O3 and CH3NH3+ are given in the table below. Which of the following mixtures is a buffer
sergey [27]

Answer:

A mixture of 100. mL of 0.1 M HC3H5O3 and 50. mL of NaOH

Explanation:

The pH of a buffer solution is calculated using following relation

pH=pKa+log(\frac{salt}{acid} )

Thus the pH of buffer solution will be near to the pKa of the acid used in making the buffer solution.

The pKa value of HC₃H₅O₃ acid is more closer to required pH = 4 than CH₃NH₃⁺ acid.

pKa = -log [Ka]

For HC₃H₅O₃

pKa = 3.1

For CH₃NH₃⁺

pKa = 10.64

pKb = 14-10.64 = 3.36 [Thus the pKb of this acid is also near to required pH value)

A mixture of 100. mL of 0.1 M HC3H5O3 and 50. mL of NaOH

Half of the acid will get neutralized by the given base and thus will result in equal concentration of both the weak acid and the salt making the pH just equal to the pKa value.

An example of a secondary alcohol is *
mojhsa [17]

Answer:

The answer to your question is the letter B

Explanation:

I will draw the skeletal structures of these compounds to determine which alcohol is secondary.

Secondary alcohol is alcohol in which the hydroxyl group is attached to a secondary alcohol.

Letter A has primary and secondary alcohol so I discard this choice.

Letter B has secondary alcohol, so this is the correct choice.

The letter C has a primary and 2 secondary alcohols so I discard this choice.

What mass of AI2O3 forms from 16 g O2 and excess AI?
vlada-n [284]

Answer:

2Al+1.5O2→Al2O3

Thus, 2 mol of Al combine with 1.5 mol of oxygen to form 1 mol of Al2O3.

2 mol of Al corresponds to 2×27=54 g.

Thus, the weight of Al used in the reaction is 54 g.
