First  step  is  to  calculate  the  mole  of each   element
that  is;
carbon  97.6/12=8.13moles
hydrogen= 4.9/1=4.9  moles
oxygen 52/16=3.25  moles
nitrogen=45.5/14=3.25 moles

step  two  is  to  calculate  the mole ratio  by   dividing with  the  smallest  number of  moles
that  is  divide  each  mole  with  3.25moles
 carbon=8.13/3.25 =5/2
hydrogen=4.9/3.25= 3/2
oxygen=3.25/3.25=1
nitrogen=3.25/3.25=1
step  3;  multiply  all  the  mole  ratio by  2  to  remove  the  fraction
carbon=5/2  x2 =5
hydrogen=3/2 x2=3
oxygen=1 x2=2
nitrogen  =1x2=2
therefore  the  empirical  formula  is C5H3O2N2(answer c)

A gas occupies 100 mL at 150. kPa. Find its volume at 200. kPa. You must show all your work to receive credit. Be sure to identi
PtichkaEL [24]

The Boyle-Mariotte's law or Boyle's law is one of the laws of gases that <u>relates the volume (V) and pressure (P) of a certain amount of gas maintained at constant temperature</u>, as follows:

PV = k

where k is a constant.

We can relate the state of a gas at a specific pressure and volume to another state in which the same gas is at different P and V since the product of both variables is equal to a constant, according to the Boyle's law, which will be the same regardless of the state of the gas. In this way,

P₁V₁ = P₂V₂

Where P₁ and V₁ is the pressure and volume of the gas to a state 1 and P₂ and V₂ is the pressure and volume of the same gas in a state 2.

In this case, in the state 1 the gas occupies a volume V₁ = 100 mL at a pressure of P₁ = 150 kPa. Then, in the state 2 the gas occupies a volume V₂ (that we must calculate through the boyle's law) at a pressure of P₂ = 200 kPa.  Substituting these values in the previous equation and clearing V₂, we have,

P₁V₁ = P₂V₂ → V₂ = \frac{P1V1}{P2}  

→ V₂ = \frac{100 mL x 150 kPa}{200 kPa}

→ V₂ = 75 mL

Then, the volume occupied by the gas at 200 kPa is V₂ = 75 mL
