Mass of hydrocarbon = 7.60 g

All the C gets converted to 23.4 g of CO2

All the H gets converted to 10.8 g of H2O

Now:

Molecular mass of CO2 = 48 g/mol

Molecular mass of H2O = 18 g/mol

# moles of CO2 = 23.4 g/48 gmol-1 = 0.4875  = moles of C

# moles of H2O = 10.8/18 = 0.6 moles = moles of H

Now:

Mass of C = 0.4875 moles * 12 g/mole = 5.85 g

Mass of H = 0.6 moles * 1 g/mole = 0.6 g

Total mass = C + H = 5.85 + 0.6 = 6.45 g. Ideally, this must be equal to the given  mass of the hydrocarbon, 7.60 g.

Nevertheless, in order to find the empirical formula, divide the # moles of C and H by the smallest value:

C = 0.4875/0.4875 = 1

H = 0.6/0.4875 = 1.23 (approximately = 1)

Empirical formula = CH

siniylev [52]

Answer:

m = 4.7 μg

Explanation:

Given data:

density of acetone = 60.0  μg/L

Volume = 79.0 mL

Mass = ?

Solution:

Formula:

d = m/v

v = 79.0 mL × 1L /1000 mL

v = 0.079 L

Now we will put the values on formula:

d = m/v

60.0  μg/L = m/0.079 L

m = 60.0 μg/L × 0.079 L

m = 4.7 μg

So health risk limit for acetone = 4.7  μg

If you eat 3 apples. How many apples do you have?
Ugo [173]

Answer:

Let's say we were Subtracting 3-2=? To Find the Answer we would Subtract  2 from 3 which is 1 Simple our answer is 1  But let's say the Question is 3 - 1= ? to find this answer we would subtract 1 from 3 which is 2 Let's say you were subtracting 3-3=? to do this we take 3 away from 3 now 3 is 0 so our answer is 0 so there are 3 different problems we can make with 3 we could make more but I'm just telling the basics Hope I Helped Bye :)

3. 200 ml of 0.2 M HCl is neutralized with 0.1 M
algol [13]

Answer:

  • <u><em>a. 0.1 M</em></u>

Explanation:

By definition, <em>half neutralization</em> is the point at which half of the acid has been neutralized.

The neutralization reaction that you are studying is the acid-base reaction:

  • HCl (aq) + NaOH (aq) → NaCl(aq) + H₂O (aq)

Then, since the starting molarity of the acid (HCl) is 0.2 M, you just need to find half of that concentration:

  • Half molarity = M / 2 = 0.2 M / 2 = 0.1 M

So, the answer is the first choice: a. 0.1 M.
