<span>the empirical formula is C3H8O2 You need to determine the relative number of moles of hydrogen and carbon. So you first calculate the molar mass of CO2 and H20 Atomic weight of carbon = 12.0107 Atomic weight of hydrogen = 1.00794 Atomic weight of oxygen = 15.999 Molar mass CO2 = 12.0107 + 2 * 15.999 = 44.0087 Molar mass H2O = 2 * 1.00794 + 15.999 = 18.01488 Now calculate the number of moles of CO2 and H2O you have Moles CO2 = 2.086 g / 44.0087 g/mole = 0.0474 mole Moles H2O = 1.134 g / 18.01488 g/mole = 0.062948 mole Calculate the number of moles of carbon and hydrogen you have. Since there's 1 carbon atom per CO2 molecule, the number of moles of carbon is the same as the number of moles of CO2. But since there's 2 hydrogen atoms per molecule of H2O, The number of moles of hydrogen is double the number of moles of H2O Moles Carbon = 0.0474 Moles Hydrogen = 0.062948 * 2 = 0.125896 Now we need to determine how much oxygen is in the compound. Just take the mass of the compound and subtract the mass of carbon and hydrogen. What's left will be the mass of oxygen. Then divide that mass by the atomic weight of oxygen to get the number of moles of oxygen we have. 1.200 - 0.0474 * 12.0107 - 0.125896 * 1.00794 = 0.503797 Moles oxygen = 0.503797 / 15.999 = 0.031489 So now we have a ratio of carbon:hydrogen:oxygen of 0.0474 : 0.125896 : 0.031489 We need to find a ratio of small integers that's close to that ratio. Start by dividing everything by 0.031489 (selected because it's the smallest value) getting 1.505288 : 3.998095 : 1 The 1 for oxygen and the 3.998095 for hydrogen look close enough. But the 1.505288 for carbon doesn't work. But it looks like if we double all the numbers, we'll get something close to an integer for everything. So do so. 3.010575 : 7.996189 : 2 Now this looks good. Rounding everything to an integer gives us 3 : 8 : 2 So the empirical formula is C3H8O2</span>

A gas has a volume of 6.00 liters at a temperature of 300 K and a pressure of 1.00 atm what is the volume of the gas in liters a
Yanka [14]

Answer:

V₂ = 4.00 L

Explanation:

Given that:

Volume (v1) = 6.00 L

Temperature (T1) = 300 K

Pressure (P1) = 1.00 atm

VOlume (V2) = unknown???

Temperature (T2) = 600 K

Pressure (P2) = 3.00 atm

Using combined gas law equation:

\dfrac{P_1V_1}{T_1}= \dfrac{P_2V_2}{T_2}

\dfrac{1 \times 6}{300} = \dfrac{3 \times V_2}{600}

\dfrac{1}{50} = \dfrac{1 \times V_2}{200}

200 = 50V₂

V₂ = 200/50

V₂ = 4.00 L

Assume you are working for a chemical company and are responsible for growing a yeast culture that produces ethanol. The yeasts
romanna [79]

Answer:

Respiration might occur in the presence and absence of oxygen known as the aerobic respiration and anaerobic respiration. The ATP molecules are produced more in number in aerobic respiration.

The yeast has the ability to undergo the process of anaerobic respiration and its end product are alcohol, carbon dioxide and 2 moles of ATP. The yeast is grown on maltose medium but unable to produce alcohol because of the presence of oxygen in the medium. The oxygen might acts as poison or inhibit the process of anaerobic respiration.

grandymaker [24]
Answer:
             <span>A geometric isomer with two alkyl groups on the same side of the carbon-carbon double bond is called <em>cis</em> Isomer.

Explanation:
                   Geometric isomerism takes place about the double bond in alkenes when the alkyl groups are either situated at the same side (<em>cis</em>) or are situated opposite (<em>trans</em>) to each other.

Example:
               <em>cis</em>-2-Butene (highlighted red)

               <em>trans</em>-2-Butene (highlighted blue)</span>
