To find the empirical formula you would first need to find the moles of each element:
58.8g/ 12.0g = 4.9 mol C
9.9g/ 1.0g = 9.9 mol H
31.4g/ 16.0g = 1.96 O
Then you divide by the smallest number of moles of each:
4.9/1.96 = 2.5
9.9/1.96 = 6
1.96/1.96 = 1
Since there is 2.5, you find the least number that makes each moles a whole number which is 2.
So the empirical formula is C5H12O2.

Half-life


Concentration
![{[A]_0}_A=1.2\ \text{M}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%7B%5BA%5D_0%7D_A%3D1.2%5C%20%5Ctext%7BM%7D)
![{[A]_0}_B=0.6\ \text{M}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%7B%5BA%5D_0%7D_B%3D0.6%5C%20%5Ctext%7BM%7D)
We have the relation
![t_{1/2}\propto \dfrac{1}{[A]_0^{n-1}}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=t_%7B1%2F2%7D%5Cpropto%20%5Cdfrac%7B1%7D%7B%5BA%5D_0%5E%7Bn-1%7D%7D)
So
![\dfrac{{t_{1/2}}_A}{{t_{1/2}}_B}=\left(\dfrac{{[A]_0}_B}{{[A]_0}_A}\right)^{n-1}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{2}{4}=\left(\dfrac{0.6}{1.2}\right)^{n-1}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{1}{2}=\left(\dfrac{1}{2}\right)^{n-1}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cdfrac%7B%7Bt_%7B1%2F2%7D%7D_A%7D%7B%7Bt_%7B1%2F2%7D%7D_B%7D%3D%5Cleft%28%5Cdfrac%7B%7B%5BA%5D_0%7D_B%7D%7B%7B%5BA%5D_0%7D_A%7D%5Cright%29%5E%7Bn-1%7D%5C%5C%5CRightarrow%20%5Cdfrac%7B2%7D%7B4%7D%3D%5Cleft%28%5Cdfrac%7B0.6%7D%7B1.2%7D%5Cright%29%5E%7Bn-1%7D%5C%5C%5CRightarrow%20%5Cdfrac%7B1%7D%7B2%7D%3D%5Cleft%28%5Cdfrac%7B1%7D%7B2%7D%5Cright%29%5E%7Bn-1%7D)
Comparing the exponents we get

The order of the reaction is 2.
![t_{1/2}=\dfrac{1}{k[A]_0^{n-1}}\\\Rightarrow k=\dfrac{1}{t_{1/2}[A]_0^{n-1}}\\\Rightarrow k=\dfrac{1}{2\times 1.2^{2-1}}\\\Rightarrow k=0.4167\ \text{M}^{-1}\text{min}^{-1}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=t_%7B1%2F2%7D%3D%5Cdfrac%7B1%7D%7Bk%5BA%5D_0%5E%7Bn-1%7D%7D%5C%5C%5CRightarrow%20k%3D%5Cdfrac%7B1%7D%7Bt_%7B1%2F2%7D%5BA%5D_0%5E%7Bn-1%7D%7D%5C%5C%5CRightarrow%20k%3D%5Cdfrac%7B1%7D%7B2%5Ctimes%201.2%5E%7B2-1%7D%7D%5C%5C%5CRightarrow%20k%3D0.4167%5C%20%5Ctext%7BM%7D%5E%7B-1%7D%5Ctext%7Bmin%7D%5E%7B-1%7D)
The rate constant is 
Answer:
Le Chatelier's principle can be applied in explaining the results
Explanation:
According to Le Chatelier's principle, when a constraint such as a change in concentration in this case is imposed on a chemical system in equilibrium, the system will adjust itself in such a way as to annul the constraint imposed.
Hence, when the color of the solution was more like that of the control, the reaction would shift towards the left. Similarly, when the color was more like it was towards the reactant, the reaction would shift towards the right.
If we were to prepare calcium oxalate, we should prepare it in a base solution. This is because when the base was added to calcium oxalate, it did not form any precipitate but when an acid was added to the calcium oxalate, it formed a precipitate.
The density of a material is the mass of the material per unit volume. Here the weight of the same metal is 44.40g, 40.58g and 38.35g having volume 4.8 mL, 4.7 mL and 4.2 mL respectively. Thus the density of the metal as per the given data are,
= 9.25g/mL,
= 8.634g/mL and
= 9.130g/mL respectively.
The equation of the standard deviation is √{∑(x -
)÷N}
Now the mean of the density is {(9.25 + 8.634 + 9.130)/3} = 9.004 g/mL.
The difference of the density of the 1st metal sample (9.25-9.004) = 0.246 g/mL. Squaring the value = 0.060.
The difference of the density of the 2nd metal sample (9.004-8.634) =0.37 g/mL. Squaring the value = 0.136.
The difference of the density of the 3rd metal sample (9.130-9.004) = 0.126 g/mL. Squaring the value 0.015.
The total value of the squared digits = (0.060 + 0.136 + 0.015) = 0.211. By dividing the digit by 3 we get, 0.070. The standard deviation will be
. Thus the standard deviation of the density value is 0.265g/mL.
