Answer:

1) empirical formula = CH2O ; the molecular formula = C2H402

2) empirical formule = C3H404 = Molecular formula

Explanation:

CxHyOz  → CO2 + H2O

⇒ So for CO2 we can say that for each 1 C-atom (12g) there are 2 O-atoms (32g).

This means the ratio is 12g C/ 32g O

CO2 has a molar mass of 44 g/mole

in 14.57 grams of CO2 there is: (12g Carbon / 44g CO2) * 14.57 g CO2 = 3.9736 g Carbon

⇒For H2O we can do the same:

The ratio of each element in H2O is: 2 H-atoms/ 1 O-atom  This is 2g H/ 16g O

In 5.966 g of water there are: [2 g H / 18 g H2O] * 5.966 g H2O = 0.6629 g H

⇒The original sample had 9.941 g of Sample - 3.9736 g of C - 0.6629 g of H =  5.3045 g of O

2) Calculate number of moles

C: 3.9736 g / 12.0 g/mol = 0.3311 mol

H: 0.6629 g / 1.0 g/mol = 0.6629 mol

O: 5.3045g / 16.0 g/mol =  0.3315 mol

3) Now we should divide each number of mole by the smallest number (0.3311) to find the proportion of the elements

C: 0.3311/ 0.3311= 1

H: 0.6629 / 0.3311 = 2

O: 0.3315/ 0.3311  = 1

This gives us the empirical formula of CH2O

4) Calculate the mass of the empirical formula

Molar mass of Carbon = 12g /mole

Molar mass of Hydrogen = 1g /mole

Molar mass of Oxygen = 16g /mole

mass of the empirical formule = 12 + 2*1 + 16 = 30g

5) Calculate the molecular formula

mass of molecular formule / mass of empirical formula = n

We have to multiply the empirical formula by n to get the molecular formula.

60 / 30 = 2 = n

If we multiply CH2O by 2 we'll get: C2H4O2

If we control this by calculating the molar mass:

2*12 + 4*1.01 + 2*16 = 60.04 g/mole

Then, the molecular formula is C2H4O2

CxHyOz  → CO2 + H2O

⇒ So for CO2 we can say that for each 1 C-atom (12g) there are 2 O-atoms (32g).

This means the ratio is 12g C/ 32g O

CO2 has a molar mass of 44 g/mole

in 17.97 grams of CO2 there is: (12g Carbon / 44g CO2) * 17.97 g CO2 = 4.90 g Carbon

⇒For H2O we can do the same:

The ratio of each element in H2O is: 2 H-atoms/ 1 O-atom  This is 2g H/ 16g O

In 4.905 g of water there are: [2 g H / 18 g H2O] * 4.905 g H2O = 0.545 g H

⇒The original sample had 14.16 g of Sample - 4.90 g of C - 0.545 g of H =  8.715g of O

2) Calculate number of moles

C: 4.90 g / 12.0 g/mol = 0.4083 mol

H: 0.545 g / 1.0 g/mol = 0.545 mol

O: 8.715g / 16.0 g/mol =  0.5447 mol

3) Now we should divide each number of mole by the smallest number (0.4083) to find the proportion of the elements

C: 0.4083/ 0.4083= 1

H: 0.545 / 0.4083 =1.33

O: 0.5447/ 0.4083  = 1.33

We should multiply everything by 3

This gives us the empirical formula of C3H4O4

4) Calculate the mass of the empirical formula

Molar mass of Carbon = 12g /mole

Molar mass of Hydrogen = 1g /mole

Molar mass of Oxygen = 16g /mole

mass of the empirical formule = 3*12 + 4*1 + 4*16 = 104

5) Calculate the molecular formula

mass of molecular formule / mass of empirical formula = n

We have to multiply the empirical formula by n to get the molecular formula.

104 / 104 = 1 = n

This means the empirical formula = molecular formula = C3H4O4

Answer:

Atoms have protons and neutrons in the center, making the nucleus, while the electrons orbit the nucleus. The modern atomic theory states that atoms of one element are the same, while atoms of different elements are different.Atoms consist of three basic particles: protons, electrons, and neutrons. The nucleus (center) of the atom contains the protons (positively charged) and the neutrons (no charge). The outermost regions of the atom are called electron shells and contain the electrons (negatively charged).

A student constructs a galvanic cell that has a strip of iron metal immersed in a solution of 0.1M Fe(NO3)2 as one half-cell and
MrMuchimi

Answer:

Fe

Explanation:

The cell potential is:

ΔE°cell = E°red(red) - E°red(oxid)

Where, E°red(red) is the reduction potential of the substance that is reducing, and E°red(oxid) is the reduction potential of the substance that is oxidizing. For the reaction be spontaneous and happen, ΔE°cell > 0.

The reduction takes place in the cathode, which is the negative pole, and the oxidation in the anode, which is the positive pole. So, the electrons flow from the positive pole to the negative pole (anode to cathode).

Then, if the voltmeter measured a negative potential, it means that is was attached incorrectly. So, the anode is Fe.

Rationalize the difference in boiling points between the members of the following pairs of substances. Part APart complete HF (2
Mrrafil [7]

Answer:

HF has the higher boiling point because HF molecules are more polar. Part B: CHBr3 molecules possess stronger intermolecular interaction due to higher molar mass than CHCl3

Explanation:

Fluorine is more electronegative than chlorine. This implies that HF is more polar and possess stronger hydrogen bonds than HCl molecules.

In part B, the magnitude of dispersion forces depend on molar mass, the greater the molar mass, the greater the magnitude of dispersion forces between molecules, hence CHBr3 has a greater boiling point than CHCl3
