<em>Acetic acid, HC2H3O2</em>

First, calculate for the molar mass of acetic acid as shown below.
    M = 1 + 2(12) + 3(1) + 2(16) = 60 g

Then, calculating for the percentages of each element.
<em> Hydrogen:</em>
    P1 = ((4)(1)/60)(100%) = <em>6.67%</em>

<em> Carbon:</em>
   P2 = ((2)(12)/60)(100%) = <em>40%</em>

<em>Oxygen</em>
  P3 =((2)(16) / 60)(100%) = <em>53.33%</em>

<em>Glucose, C6H12O6</em>

The molar mass of glucose is as calculated below,
   6(12) + 12(1) + 6(16) = 180

The percentages of the elements are as follow,
 <em> Hydrogen:</em>
   P1 = (12/180)(100%) = <em>6.67%</em>

<em>Carbon:</em>
  P2 = ((6)(12) / 180)(100%) = <em>40%</em>

<em>Oxygen:</em>
  P3 = ((6)(16) / 180)(100%) = <em>53.33%</em>

b. Since the empirical formula of the given substances are just the same and can be written as CH2O then, the percentages of each element composing them will just be equal.

You are given two aqueous solutions with different ionic solutes (Solution A and Solution B). What if you are told that Solution
klio [65]

Answer:

Yes, it is possible. Let us consider an example of two solutions, that is, solution A having 20 percent mass RbCl (rubidium chloride) and solution B is having 15 percent by mass NaCl or sodium chloride.  

It is found that solution A is having more concentration in comparison to solution B in terms of mass percent. The formula for mass percent is,  

% by mass = mass of solute/mass of solution * 100

Now the formula for molality is,  

Molality = weight of solute/molecular weight of solute * 1000/ weight of solvent in grams

Now molality of solution A is,  

m = 20/121 * 1000/80 (molecular weight of RbCl is 121 grams per mole)

m = 2.07

Now the molality of solution B is,  

m = 15/58.5 * 1000/85

m = 3.02

Therefore, in terms of molality, the solution B is having greater concentration (3.02) in comparison to solution A (2.07).

40 g of CaCO3 is how many moles of CaCO3?<br> 10 moles<br> 0.4 moles<br> 40 moles<br> 100 moles
AleksandrR [38]

Answer:

0.4 moles

Explanation:

To convert between moles and grams you need the molar mass of the compound. The molar mass of of CaCO3 is 100.09g/mol. You use that as the unit converter.

40gCaCO3* 1mol CaCO3/100.09gCaCO3 = 0.399640 mol CaCO3

This rounds to 0.4 moles CaCO3

Find the normality of 0.321 g sodium carbonate in a 250 mL solution.
Radda [10]

Answer:

the normality of the given solution is 0.0755 N

Explanation:

The computation of the normality of the given solution is shown below:

Here we have to realize the two sodiums ions per carbonate ion i.e.

N = 0.321g Na_2CO_3 × (1mol ÷ 105.99g)×(2eq ÷ 1mol)

= 0.1886eq ÷ 0.2500L

= 0.0755 N

Hence, the normality of the given solution is 0.0755 N

Why does the electrical conductivity of ionic compounds change when they are dissolved in water?
meriva
Ionic compounds conduct electricity when dissolved in water, because the dissociated ions can carry charge through the solution. Molecular compounds don't dissociate into ions and so don't conduct electricity in solution. Electrical conductivity of the compound in liquid form
