Aloiza [94]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

The answer to your question is C₂H₆O

Explanation:

Data

Molecular formula = C₆H₁₈O₃

Empirical formula = ?

Empirical formula is defined as the simplest ratio of the elements that form part of a molecule.

Process

To find the empirical formula find the greatest common factor of the subscripts.

                             6    18   3   2

                             3      9  3   3

                              1     3    1   3

                                     1

The GCF is 3, so factor 3 of the molecular formula

                         3 ( C₂H₆O)  

The result is the empirical formula C₂H₆O

liubo4ka [24]

Answer:

5.73 Liters

Explanation:

Pressure decreases => Volume increases (Boyles Law)

V(final) = 2.75L (750Torr/360Torr) = 5.73 Liters

LuckyWell [14K]

Answer:

Coconut oil, Olive oil and Sunflower oil

Explanation:

Fatty acids are carboxylic acids with a long unbranched chain of carbon and hydrogen atoms.

There are three main classes of fatty acids which are explained as under:

1. Saturated Fatty acids: These fatty acids have long carbon chain with two hydrogen atoms bonded to each carbon atom. This saturation of fatty acids make the fatty acids more stable towards high temperature. These fatty acids becomes solid at room temperature. Coconut oil and butter are the examples of saturated fatty acids.

2. Monounsaturated Fatty Acids: In a long carbon chain, if there is a carbon atom which is double bonded with another carbon atom and rest is saturated with hydrogen atoms, because of this single double-bond, the fatty acid is termed as monounsaturated fatty acids. These fatty acids are liquid at room temperature but solidify in refrigerator. Olive oil is an example of such fatty acids.

3. Polyunsaturated Fatty Acids: In a long carbon chain, if there are two or more than two carbon atoms which are double bonded with each other and rest is saturated with hydrogen atoms, because of multiple double bonds, such fatty acids are termed as polyunsaturated fatty acids. Because of higher unsaturation, these fatty acids are liquid in both normal room temperature and in refrigerator. Such unsaturation also make them unfit for cooking purposes. Sunflower oil, Soyabean oil and Flaxseed oil are examples of polyunsaturated fatty acids.

A mixture of so2(g) and o2(g), formed by the complete decomposition of so3(g), is collected over water at 34°c at a total pressu
Sedbober [7]
The decomposition of so3 to so2 gas and o2 gas can be described in the balanced chemical equation: 

2so3(g) = 2 so2 (g) + 02(g). 

so assuming a complete reaction, the ratio of so2 gas to total products is 2/3 while that of 02 is 1/3. 

Subtracting water's water vapor pressure, 760-40 mm hG = 720 mm Hg.

then the products partial pressures are

so2 = 2/3 * (720) = 480 mm Hg.
o2 = 720-480 = 240 mm Hg.
