Hello there!

First, we need to know what compounds are.
Compounds "are pure substances that are made up of two or more elements that are chemically combined in fixed mass ratios."

Now we need to understand what chemical formulas are.
The compounds have a chemical formula which tell us that
a) the elements that are present in the compound
b) the ratio of these elements in the compound

What are some chemical formulas for compounds?
Well, we start with water. The chemical formula for water is H2O

When we go back to the definition of compounds, it says it is when a pure substance that are made up two or more elements. So, whatever is a pure substance and it's made up of two elements. These elements are Hydrogen and Oxygen. And keep an mind that water is made up with metal plus non-metal.

What volume of stock solution and water must you add to prepare 36.25ml of a 1.25M solution
Serjik [45]

Given :

Number of moles , n = 36.25 mol .

Molarity , M = 1.25 M .

To Find :

The volume of water required .

Solution :

Moarity is given by :

M=\dfrac{n}{V}

So , V=\dfrac{n}{M}

Here , n is number of moles and M is molarity .

Putting all values in above equation , we get :

V=\dfrac{36.25}{1.25}\\\\V=29\ L

Therefore , volume of water required is 29 L .

Why the ph of glycine increases when 0.1 M NaOH is added dropwise​
shtirl [24]

Answer:

The acid-base reaction produces glycine reduction, and hence the increase of glycine pH.

Explanation:

The glycine is an amino acid with the following chemical formula:

NH₂CH₂COOH  

The COOH functional group is what gives the acid properties in the molecule.      

Hence, when NaOH is added to glycine an acid-base reaction takes place in which COOH reacts with the NaOH added:

NH₂CH₂COOH + OH⁻ ⇄ NH₂CH₂COO⁻ + H₂O

The glycine concentration starts to shift to its ion form (NH₂CH₂COO⁻) because of the reaction with NaOH, that is why the pH glycine increases when NaOH is added.  

Therefore, the acid-base reaction produces glycine reduction, and hence the increase of glycine pH.  

I hope it helps you!

A solution is made by mixing equal masses of methanol, CH 4 O , and ethanol, C 2 H 6 O . Determine the mole fraction of each com
Fynjy0 [20]

Answer:

Mole fraction of CH_4O = 0.58

Mole fraction of C_2H_6O = 0.42

Explanation:

Let the mass of CH_4O and C_2H_6O = x g

Molar mass of CH_4O = 33.035 g/mol

The formula for the calculation of moles is shown below:

moles = \frac{Mass\ taken}{Molar\ mass}

Thus,

Moles_{CH_4O}= \frac{x\ g}{33.035\ g/mol}

Moles_{CH_4O}=\frac{x}{33.035}\ mol

Molar mass of C_2H_6O = 46.07 g/mol

Thus,

Moles= \frac{x\ g}{46.07\ g/mol}

Moles_{C_2H_6O}=\frac{x}{46.07}\ mol

So, according to definition of mole fraction:

Mole\ fraction\ of\ CH_4O=\frac {n_{CH_4O}}{n_{CH_4O}+n_{C_2H_6O}}

Mole\ fraction\ of\ CH_4O=\frac{\frac{x}{33.035}}{\frac{x}{33.035}+\frac{x}{46.07}}=0.58

Mole fraction of C_2H_6O = 1 - 0.58 = 0.42
