Answer:

C) C₆H₁₂O₆.

Explanation:

  • We can determine the molecular formula by calculating the molecular mass of different choices.

Molecular mass = ∑(no. of atoms * atomic mass).

A) CH₂O:

molecular mass = atomic mass of C + 2*atomic mass of H + atomic mass of O = (12.0 g/mol) + (2 * 1.0 g/mol) + (16.0 g/mol) = 30.0 g/mol.

B) C₃H₈O₃:

molecular mass = 3(atomic mass of C) + 8(atomic mass of H) + 3(atomic mass of O) = 3(12.0 g/mol) + 8(1.0 g/mol) + 3(16.0 g/mol) = 92.0 g/mol.

C) C₆H₁₂O₆:

molecular mass = 6(atomic mass of C) + 12(atomic mass of H) + 6(atomic mass of O) = 6(12.0 g/mol) + 12(1.0 g/mol) + 6(16.0 g/mol) = 180.0 g/mol.

D) C₈H₁₆O₈:

molecular mass = 8(atomic mass of C) + 16(atomic mass of H) + 8(atomic mass of O) = 8(12.0 g/mol) + 16(1.0 g/mol) + 8(16.0 g/mol) = 240.0 g/mol.

<em>So, the right choice is: C) C₆H₁₂O₆.</em>

A sample of gas initially has a volume of 2.25 L at 350 K and a pressure of 1.75 atm. What will be sample pressure if the volume
IRINA_888 [86]

Answer:

8.44 atm

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Initial volume (V₁) = 2.25 L

Initial temperature (T₁) = 350 K

Initial pressure (P₁) = 1.75 atm

Final volume (V₂) = 1 L

Final temperature (T₂) = 750 K

Final pressure (P₂) =?

The final pressure of the gas can be obtained as illustrated below:

P₁V₁/T₁ = P₂V₂/T₂

1.75 × 2.25 / 350 = P₂ × 1 / 750

3.9375 / 350 = P₂ / 750

Cross multiply

350 × P₂ = 3.9375 × 750

350 × P₂ = 2953.125

Divide both side by 350

P₂ = 2953.125 / 350

P₂ = 8.44 atm

Thus, the final pressure of the gas is 8.44 atm.

Magnesium and oxygen balanced
11Alexandr11 [23.1K]
2Mg+ O₂= 2MgO
The charge of Mg is+2 and the charge of Oxygen is -2. 2 oxygen atoms will have a charge of -4 so the Mg atoms have to equal +4. A coefficient of 2 for the Mg atoms will balance it out
