Answer:
 
<span>Given mass of C is 32.0 grams
</span><span>Given mass of H is 8.0 grams
</span>Molar mass of C is 1212 g/mol 
Molar mass of H is 1.01 g/mol

Thus
<span><span><span><span>32.0 grams of C </span><span>8.0 grams of H </span></span><span><span>→<span>3212</span>=2.66 moles of C</span><span>→<span>81.01</span>=7.92 moles of H</span></span></span><span><span><span>32.0 grams of C </span><span>→<span>3212</span>=2.66 moles of C</span></span><span><span>8.0 grams of H </span><span>→<span>81.01</span>=7.92 moles of H</span></span></span></span>

<span>When we divide 7.92 by 2.66 we obtain 2.977 which is approximately 3. This means that the ratio of atoms of </span><span>CC</span><span> to the atoms of </span><span>HH</span><span> is 1:3.</span>

<span>Thus, empirical formula for the compound is </span><span><span>C<span>H3</span></span><span>C<span>H3</span></span></span>.

<span>Molar mass of </span><span><span>C<span>H3</span></span><span>C<span>H3</span></span></span><span> is </span><span><span>1⋅12+3⋅1.01=15.03</span><span>1⋅12+3⋅1.01=15.03</span></span><span>. Since molar mass of the compound we have to find is </span><span>3030</span><span> g/mol we have tu multiply subscripts by 2.</span>

<span>Thus, final compound is </span><span><span><span>C2</span><span>H6</span></span><span><span>C2</span><span>H6</span></span></span>.

You are asked to bring the pH of 0.500L of 0.550 M NH4Cl to 7.00. Which of the following solutions would you use: 12.0 M HCl or
ch4aika [34]
<span>1 drop is approximately 0.05mL. Since 0.500L of 0.550M NH4Cl contains 0.275mol of substance (calculated by using c=n/V formula), equal amount of substance of NH3 is needed to neutralize this solution (since pH of 7 is neutral solution). Thus, we need 0.0275L of NH3, i.e. around 550 drops.</span>

A chemist prepares a solution of barium chloride by measuring out of barium chloride into a volumetric flask and filling the fla
mezya [45]

The given question is incomplete. The complete question is:

A chemist prepares a solution of barium chloride by measuring out 110 g of barium chloride into a 440 ml volumetric flask and filling the flask to the mark with water. Calculate the concentration in mole per liter of the chemist's barium chloride solution. Round your answer to 3 significant digits.

Answer: Concentration of the chemist's barium chloride solution is 1.20 mol/L

Explanation:

Molarity of a solution is defined as the number of moles of solute dissolved per liter of the solution.

Molarity=\frac{n\times }{V_s}

where,

n = moles of solute

V_s = volume of solution in L

moles of BaCl_2(solute) = \frac{\text {given mass}}{\text {Molar Mass}}=\frac{110g}{208g/mol}=0.529mol

Now put all the given values in the formula of molality, we get

Molality=\frac{0.529\times 1000}{440ml}=1.20mole/L

Therefore, the molarity of solution is 1.20 mol/L

You have 15 grams of ice at 0°C. How much energy is needed to melt the ice and warm it to 25°C. Ice melts at 0°C. The specific h
azamat

Answer:

d. 1600 calories

Explanation:

The heat of fusion of water, L, is the amount of heat per gram required to melt the ice to water, a process which takes place at a constant temperature of 0 °C. The specific heat of water, c, is the amount of heat required to change the temperature of 1 gram of water by 1 degree Celsius.

We will convert the units of c from Jg⁻¹°C⁻¹ to cal·g⁻¹°C⁻¹ since the answers are provided in calories. The conversion factor is 4.18 J/cal.

(4.18 Jg⁻¹°C⁻¹)(cal/4.18J) = 1 cal·g⁻¹°C⁻¹

First we calculate the heat required to melt the ice, where M is the mass:

Q = ML = (15 g)(80 cal/g) = 1200 cal

Then, we calculate the heat required to raise the temperature of water from 0 °C to 25 °C.

Q = mcΔt = (15 g)(1 cal·g⁻¹°C⁻¹)(25 °C - 0 °C) = 380 cal

The answer is rounded so that there are two significant figures

The total heat required for this process is (1200 cal + 380 cal) = 1580 cal

The rounded answer is 1600 calories.

knowing that the reaction of potassium in water is extremely exothermic, what would be the problem with adding a large piece of
anygoal [31]

Answer:

Explanation:

If the reaction is really exothermic (and it is) then the water would spatter all over the place. It would boil off if the container could hold it. It would also react according to the following reaction.

You are talking about a reaction like

2K + 2HOH = 2KOH + H2
