Answer:

C₆H₆

Explanation:

We need to find the molecular formula of a compound of carbon (C) and hydrogen (H), so what <em>we need to find out is the number of atoms of C and of  H in the molecule.</em> We know:

  • molar mass = 78.1 g/mol
  • C% = 92.3% = 92.3 g C / 100 g compound

So, in 1 mol of compound, 92.3% of the mass corresponds to Carbon:

<u>mass of C / mol of compound</u> = molar mass × C% = 78.1 g/mol × 92.3/100 = <u>72.1 g/mol</u>

<u>moles of C</u> = mass C / molar mass C = 72.1 g / 12.011 g/mol

moles of C = 6 moles of C per mol of compound

If 72.1 g in a mol of compound are Carbon atoms, the difference between the molar mass and the mass of Carbon atoms will correspond to H atoms in 1 mol of compound:

<u>mass of H / mol of compound</u> = molar mass - mass of C/mol

mass of H = 78.1 g / mol - 72.1 g /mol = <u>6.0 g/mol of compound</u>

<u>moles of H</u> = mass H / molar mass H = 6.0 g / 1.008 g/mol

moles of H = 6.0 moles of H per mol of compound

<em>So</em><em> one mol of compound has 6 moles of C and 6 moles of H.</em>

The molecular formula is then written as C₆H₆

30cm^3 of a dilute solution of Ca(OH)2 required 11 cm^3 of 0.06 mol/dm^. Hcl for complete neutralization. Calculate the concentr
Alenkasestr [34]

Answer: Thus concentration of Ca(OH)_2 in mol/dm^3  is 0.011 and in g/dm^3 is 0.814

Explanation:

To calculate the concentration of Ca(OH)_2, we use the equation given by neutralization reaction:

n_1M_1V_1=n_2M_2V_2

where,

n_1,M_1\text{ and }V_1 are the n-factor, molarity and volume of acid which is HCl

n_2,M_2\text{ and }V_2 are the n-factor, molarity and volume of base which is Ca(OH)_2

We are given:

n_1=1\\M_1=0.06mol/dm^3\\V_1=11cm^3=0.011dm^3\\n_2=2\\M_2=?\\V_2=30cm^3=0.030dm^3         1cm^3=0.001dm^3

Putting values in above equation, we get:

1\times 0.06mol/dm^3\times 0.011dm^3=2\times M_2\times 0.030dm^3\\\\M_2=0.011mol/dm^3

The concentration in g/dm^3 is 0.011mol/dm^3\times 74g/mol=0.814g/dm^3

Thus concentration of Ca(OH)_2 is 0.011mol/dm^3 and 0.814g/dm^3

How does latitude affect climate
Ulleksa [173]
The closer you get to the equator the warmest you will be. 10 degrees north is warmer than 80 degrees north, because 10 degrees north is closer to the equator. I don't know if that was helpful or not but, I tried to answer as best as I could.
