The empirical formula for carbohydrates is CH2O. The molecular weight for a particular carbohydrate is 90.09 grams. What is the

molecular formula for that carbohydrate? (atomic masses: C =12.0107; H = 1.00794; O = 15.9994)

We find the weight of the empirical formula:
12.0107 + 2 x 1.00794 + 15.9994
= 30.03

Now, we divide the molecular weight by the weight of the empirical formula to find the number of times the empirical formula repeats:
90.09 / 30.03
= 3

The formula is 3(CH₂O)
C₃H₆O₃

Oxygen gas can be prepared by heating potassium chlorate according to the following equation: 2KClO3(s)2KCl(s) + 3O2(g) The prod
Ipatiy [6.2K]

Answer:

The number of moles of KClO₃ reacted was 0,15 mol

Explanation:

For the reaction:

2KClO₃(s) → 2KCl(s) + 2O₂(g)

The only gas product is O₂.

Total pressure is the sum of vapor pressure of water with O₂ gas formed. Thus, pressure of O₂ is:

749mmHg - 23,8mmHg = 725,2mmHg

Using gas law:

PV/RT = n

Where:

P is pressure (725,2mmHg ≡ <em>0,9542atm</em>)

V is volume (<em>5,76L</em>)

R is gas constant (<em>0,082 atmL/molK</em>)

And T is temperature (25°C ≡ <em>298,15K</em>)

Replacing, number of moles of O₂ are <em>0,2248 moles</em>

As 2 moles of KClO₃ react with 3 moles of O₂ the moles of KClO₃ that reacted was:

0,2248 mol O₂×\frac{2 mol KClO_{3}}{3 mol O_{2}} = <em>0,15 mol of KClO₃</em>

I hope it helps!

If 60 grams of a liquid takes up 120ml how dense is the liquid
Black_prince [1.1K]

Answer:

<h2>Density = 0.5 g/mL</h2>

Explanation:

The density of a substance can be found by using the formula

<h3>Density =  \frac{mass}{volume}</h3>

From the question

mass = 60 g

volume = 120 mL

Substitute the values into the above formula and solve

That's

<h3>Density =  \frac{60}{120}  \\  =  \frac{1}{2}</h3>

We have the final answer as

<h3>Density = 0.5 g/mL</h3>

Hope this helps you
