Empirical formula is the simplest ratio of whole numbers of components in a compound 
in 100 g of compound 
                                C                          H                          O
mass                   25.5 g                     6.40 g                 68.1 g
number of moles  25.5 g/12 g/mol      6.40 g/ 1 g/mol      68.1 g/ 16 g/mol 
                             = 2.13 mol              = 6.40 mol          = 4.26 mol
divide by least number of moles 
                             2.13/2.13 = 1          6.40/2.13 = 3.0    4.26/2.13 = 2.0
all rounded off 
C - 1
H - 3
O - 2

empirical formula - CH₃O₂

Because sucrose is hygroscopic, how should it be properly stored in a cupboard
kirza4 [7]

Sucrose is stored in dry and closed container, sealed properly.

Explanation:

  • Sucrose is nothing but the table sugar which we use daily in our life.
  • Sucrose is formed by the combination of fructose and glucose so, it called a disaccharide because two monosaccharides are converted to form sucrose.
  • It is a hygroscopic substance. The hygroscopic substance is which is easily vulnerable to water absorption. They tend to absorb water if they are being exposed to humid places.
  • Hence, it should be kept in a dry and close container, sealed properly.

The standard cell potential Ec for the reduction of silver ions with elemental copper is 0.46V at 25 degrees celsius. calculate
Cloud [144]

Answer : The \Delta G for this reaction is, -88780 J/mole.

Solution :

The balanced cell reaction will be,  

Cu(s)+2Ag^+(aq)\rightarrow Cu^{2+}(aq)+2Ag(s)

Here, magnesium (Cu) undergoes oxidation by loss of electrons, thus act as anode. silver (Ag) undergoes reduction by gain of electrons and thus act as cathode.

The half oxidation-reduction reaction will be :

Oxidation : Cu\rightarrow Cu^{2+}+2e^-

Reduction : 2Ag^++2e^-\rightarrow 2Ag

Now we have to calculate the Gibbs free energy.

Formula used :

\Delta G^o=-nFE^o

where,

\Delta G^o = Gibbs free energy = ?

n = number of electrons to balance the reaction = 2

F = Faraday constant = 96500 C/mole

E^o = standard e.m.f of cell = 0.46 V

Now put all the given values in this formula, we get the Gibbs free energy.

\Delta G^o=-(2\times 96500\times 0.46)=-88780J/mole

Therefore, the \Delta G for this reaction is, -88780 J/mole.

Which characteristics are common to the three isotopes of hydrogen?
allsm [11]
D should be the correct answer.  isotopes are atoms that have the same atomic number (number of protons) but different atomic masses (number of protons and neutrons).  isotopes also have the same number of electrons since atoms need to have equal numbers of protons and electrons to not be considered ions.  Since the number of protons determines the chemical properties of the atom, we can say that all isotopes have the same chemical properties due to the fact that all isotopes have the same atomic number.

I hope this helps.  Let me know in the comments if anything is unclear.
