The compound methyl butanoate smells like apples. Its percent composition is 58.8% C, 9.9% H, and 31.4% O. What’s the empirical

formula ?

To find the empirical formula you would first need to find the moles of each element:

58.8g/ 12.0g = 4.9 mol C

9.9g/ 1.0g = 9.9 mol H

31.4g/ 16.0g = 1.96 O

Then you divide by the smallest number of moles of each:

4.9/1.96 = 2.5

9.9/1.96 = 6

1.96/1.96 = 1

Since there is 2.5, you find the least number that makes each moles a whole number which is 2.

So the empirical formula is C5H12O2.

What is meant by the term sensitivity in Analytical Chemistry? (a) The term refers to the limit at which the absorption instrume
ivolga24 [154]

The term sensitivity in Analytical Chemistry is "the slope of the calibration curve or a function of analyte concentration or amount".

<u>Answer:</u> Option B

<u>Explanation:</u>

In a sample, the little amounts of substances can be accurately evaluated by a method is termed as "Analytical sensitivity". This detect a target analyte like an antibody or antigen, process is considered as potential of a test to and generally demonstrated as the analyte's minimum detectable concentration.

The acceptable diagnostic sensitivity is not guaranteed by high analytical sensitivity. The percentage of individuals who have a given disarray who are identified by the method as positive for the disarray is known as "Diagnostic sensitivity".

Equation is balanced already
mojhsa [17]

Answer:

1.) 13 g C₄H₁₀

2.) 41 g CO₂

Explanation:

To find the mass of propane (C₄H₁₀) and carbon dioxide (CO₂), you need to (1) convert mass O₂ to moles O₂ (via molar mass), then (2) convert moles O₂ to moles C₄H₁₀/CO₂ (via mole-to-mole ratio from equation coefficients), and then (3) convert moles C₄H₁₀/CO₂ to mass C₄H₁₀/CO₂ (via molar mass). It is important to arrange the ratios in a way that allows for the cancellation of units. The final answers should have 2 sig figs to match the sig figs of the given value.

Molar Mass (C₄H₁₀): 4(12.011 g/mol) + 10(1.008 g/mol)

Molar Mass (C₄H₁₀): 58.124 g/mol

Molar Mass (CO₂): 12.011 g/mol + 2(15.998 g/mol)

Molar Mass (CO₂): 44.007 g/mol

Molar Mass (O₂): 2(15.998 g/mol)

Molar Mass (O₂): 31.996 g/mol

2 C₄H₁₀ + 13 O₂ ----> 8 CO₂ + 10 H₂O

 48 g O₂             1 mole             2 moles C₄H₁₀            58.124 g

Hydrofluoric acid and Water react to form fluoride anion and hydronium cation, like this HF(aq) + H_2O(l) rightarrow F(aq) + H_3
maksim [4K]

Answer:

Kc = 1.09x10⁻⁴

Explanation:

<em>HF = 1.62g</em>

<em>H₂O = 516g</em>

<em>F⁻ = 0.163g</em>

<em>H₃O⁺ = 0.110g</em>

<em />

To solve this question we need to find the moles of each reactant in order to solve the molar concentration of each reactan and replacing in the Kc expression. For the reaction, the Kc is:

Kc = [H₃O⁺] [F⁻] / [HF]

<em>Because Kc is defined as the ratio between concentrations of products over reactants powered to its reaction coefficient. Pure liquids as water are not taken into account in Kc expression:</em>

<em />

[H₃O⁺] = 0.110g * (1mol /19.01g) = 0.00579moles / 5.6L = 1.03x10⁻³M

[F⁻] = 0.163g * (1mol /19.0g) = 0.00858moles / 5.6L = 1.53x10⁻³M

[HF] = 1.62g * (1mol /20g) = 0.081moles / 5.6L = 0.0145M

Kc = [1.03x10⁻³M] [1.53x10⁻³M] / [0.0145M]

<h3>Kc = 1.09x10⁻⁴</h3>
