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

Mercury is often released into water bodies with industrial effluents, where it is then converted to the compound form methylmer

 This is more to do with Bioaccumulation of mercury, where the mercury is absorbed into the issue of animals, and so animals higher in the food chain consume a lot of tissue matter hence increasing mercury content in their system.

What is the energy of a wave with wavelength of 4.2 x 10-7 m. (Hint: Calculate for frequency first.)
erik [133]

Answer:

Option B. 4.74×10¯¹⁹ J.

Explanation:

The following data were obtained from the question:

Wavelength (λ) = 4.2×10¯⁷ m

Energy (E) =.?

Next, we shall determine the frequency of the wave. This can be obtained as follow:

Wavelength (λ) = 4.2×10¯⁷ m

Velocity (v) = constant = 3×10⁸ m/s

Frequency (f) =.?

v = λf

3×10⁸ = 4.2×10¯⁷ × f

Divide both side by 4.2×10¯⁷

f = 3×10⁸ / 4.2×10¯⁷

f = 7.143×10¹⁴ s¯¹

Therefore, the frequency of the wave is 7.143×10¹⁴ s¯¹.

Finally, we shall determine the energy of the wave using the following formula

E = hf

Where

E is the energy.

h is the Planck's constant

f is the frequency

Thus, the enery of the wave can be obtained as follow:

Frequency (f) = 7.143×10¹⁴ s¯¹.

Planck's constant = 6.63×10¯³⁴ Js

Energy (E) =..?

E = hf

E = 6.63×10¯³⁴ × 7.14×10¹⁴

E = 4.74×10¯¹⁹ J

Therefore, the energy of the wave is 4.74×10¯¹⁹ J.

Think of an everyday situation in which two objects interact and exert a force on each other. Explain how the interaction can ca
blondinia [14]

Answer:

It's explained below.

Explanation:

An everyday situation is when we raise an object.

Now, when we raise an object, energy is transferred to the Earth object system and thus the gravitational field energy of the system will increase.

Now, this energy is usually released when the object falls. The mechanism of this release is known as gravitational force.

In the same manner, two magnetic and electrically charged objects that are interacting at a distance will exert forces on each other and this can lead to transfer of energy between the interacting objects.

Find the volume of 20g of H₂ at STP<br><br>​
ANEK [815]

Answer:224

Explanation:

We should answer it with Stoichiometry

We say: 20 g H2× (1 mol/ 2g)× ( 22.4 lit/ 1 mol) = 224

Means: we have 20 grams and every 2g H2, equals to 1 mol of it and every 1 mol of H2, equals to 22.4 lit( because of STP)

hope you got this:)
