300 grams of a compound which contains only carbon, hydrogen and oxygen is analyzed and found to contain the exact same percenta

ge of carbon as it has oxygen. The percentage of hydrogen is known to be 5.98823%. Find the empirical formula of the compound

The empirical formula of the compound is C₄H₅O₃.

<u>Explanation</u>:

If hydrogen % = 5.98823, the Sum of C+O = 94.01177% or 47.005885% each

The original mass of 300 g is not important

C = 47.005885 / 12.011 = 3.913569

H = 5.98823 / 1.008 = 5.94070  

O = 47.005885 / 15.999 = 2.93805  

Divide by the smallest number:      

C =1.33  

H = 2.022

O = 1

Multiply through by 3

C = 4

H =6

O = 3

The empirical formula of a compound = C₄H₆O₃

Do not be confused by the 300 g. It is totally irrelevant to the question because you are dealing with % amounts. It would only have been of importance if you were given some mass values.

The recommended daily intake of potassium ( K ) is 4.725 g . The average raisin contains 3.513 mg K . Fill in the denominators o
kondor19780726 [428]

Explanation:

It is known that 1 gram contains 1000 milligrams. And, mathematically we can represent it as follows.

             \frac{1 g}{1000 mg} or \frac{1000 mg}{1 g}

So, when we have to convert grams into milligrams then we simply multiply the digit with 1000. And, if we have to convert a digit from milligrams to grams then we simply divide it by 1000.

The specific heat of gold is 0.031 calories/gram°C. If 10.0 grams of gold were heated and the temperature of the sample
IgorLugansk [536]

Answer:

6.2 calories

Explanation:

Data Given:

change in temperature = 20 °C

specific heat of gold = 0.031 calories/gram °C

mass of gold = 10.0 grams

Amount of Heat = ?

Solution:

Formula used

             Q = Cs.m.ΔT

Where:

Q = amount of heat

Cs = specific heat of gold = 0.031 calories/gram °C

m = mass

ΔT = Change in temperature

Put values in above equation

                Q = 0.031 calories/gram °C x 10.0 g x 20 °C

                Q = 6.2 calories

So option A is correct = 6.2 calories

The hot dogs you ate at the barbecue last week were 75% fat-free by weight, had 275 calories, and weighed 110 g. a) What percent
vovangra [49]

Answer:

a) 25%

b) 27.5 g

c) 90%

Explanation:

a) 75% fat-free by weight means 25% of the weight is made by fat.

b) 110 g ___ 100%

      x    ___ 25%

          x = 27.5g

Each hot dog has 27.5g of fat.

c) 9 cal ___ 1 g fat

      y    ___ 27.5 g fat

          y = 247.5 cal

275 cal ___ 100%

247.5 cal ___ z

     z = 90%

90 % of the calories come from fat.

In an isolated system, mass can neither be<br> created or destroyed.<br> ube<br> FALSE<br> TRUE
Marina86 [1]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

The law of conservation of mass states that mass in an isolated system is neither created nor destroyed by chemical reactions or physical transformations. According to the law of conservation of mass, the mass of the products in a chemical reaction must equal the mass of the reactants.

Hope it helps

At equilibrium at 2500K, [HCl]=0.0625M and [H2]=[Cl2]=0.00450M for the reaction H2+Cl2 ⇌ HCl.
ASHA 777 [7]

Answer:

a. H_2+Cl_2 \rightleftharpoons 2HCl

b. K = 192.9

c. Products are favored.

Explanation:

Hello!

a. In this case, according to the unbalanced chemical reaction we need to balance HCl as shown below:

H_2+Cl_2 \rightleftharpoons 2HCl

In order to reach 2 hydrogen and chlorine atoms at both sides.

b. Here, given the concentrations at equilibrium and the following equilibrium expression, we have:

K=\frac{[HCl]^2}{[H_2][Cl_2]}

Therefore, we plug in the data to obtain:

K=\frac{(0.0625)^2}{(0.00450)(0.00450)}\\\\K=192.9

c. Finally, we infer that since K>>1 the forward reaction towards products is favored.

Best regards!
