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

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

3 ( C₂H₆O)

The result is the empirical formula C₂H₆O

Will GIVE BRAINLIEST --A student makes a standard solution of potassium hydroxide by adding 14.555 g to 500.0 mL of water. Answe

leva [86]

Answer:

0.5188 M or 0.5188 mol/L

Explanation:

Concentration is calculated as molarity, which is the number of moles per litre.

***Molarity is represented by either "M" or "c" depending on your teacher. I will use "c".

The formula for molarity is:

$c = \frac{n}{V}$

n = moles (unit mol)

V = volume (unit L)

Find the molar mass (M) of potassium hydroxide.

$M_{KOH} = \frac{39.098 g}{mol}+\frac{16.000 g}{mol}+\frac{1.008 g}{mol}$

$M_{KOH} = 56.106 \frac{g}{mol}$

Calculate the moles of potassium hydroxide.

$n_{KOH} = \frac{14.555 g}{1}*\frac{1mol}{56.106g}$

$n_{KOH} = 0.25941(9)mol$

Carry one insignificant figure (shown in brackets).

Convert the volume of water to litres.

$V = \frac{500.0mL}{1}*\frac{1L}{1000mL}$

$V = 0.5000L$

Here, carrying an insignificant figure doesn't change the value.

Calculate the concentration.

$c = \frac{n}{V}$

$c = \frac{0.25941(9)mol}{0.5000 L}$

$c = 0.5188(3) \frac{mol}{L}$ <= Keep an insignificant figure for rounding

$c = 0.5188 \frac{mol}{L}$ <= Rounded up

$c = 0.5188M$ <= You use the unit "M" instead of "mol/L"

The concentration of this standard solution is 0.5188 M.

A chemical reaction that removes electrons from an atom is called a(n) ________ reaction.

ch4aika [34]

A chemical reaction that removes electrons from an atom is called "Oxidation".
The term came from late 18th century from French.
When the electrons are removed from an atom it increase its valence.
