Answer:

C₂H₄O

Explanation:

Given data

  • Mass of C: 5.28 g
  • Mass of H: 0.887 g
  • Mass of O: 3.52 g

The total mass of the compound is 5.28 g + 0.887 g + 3.52 g = 9.69 g

In order to determine the empirical formula of the compound, we must follow a series of steps.

Step 1: Determine the percent composition

C: (5.28g/9.69g) × 100% = 54.5%

H: (0.887g/9.69g) × 100% = 9.15%

O: (3.52g/9.69g) × 100% = 36.3%

Step 2: Divide each percentage by the atomic mass of the element

C: 54.5/12.0 = 4.54

H: 9.15/1.01 = 9.06

O: 36.3/16.0 = 2.27

Step 3: Divide all the numbers by the smallest one

C: 4.54/2.27 = 2

H: 9.06/2.27 ≈ 4

O: 2.27/2.27 = 1

The empirical formula is C₂H₄O.

What is Δn for the following equation in relating Kc to Kp?2 SO2(g) + O2(g) ↔ 2 SO3(g)23-2-11
san4es73 [151]

Answer:

-1

Explanation:

The relation between Kp and Kc is given below:

K_p= K_c\times (RT)^{\Delta n}

Where,  

Kp is the pressure equilibrium constant

Kc is the molar equilibrium constant

R is gas constant

T is the temperature in Kelvins

Δn = (No. of moles of gaseous products)-(No. of moles of gaseous reactants)

For the first equilibrium reaction:

2SO_2_{(g)}+O_2_{(g)}\rightleftharpoons2SO_3_{(g)}

<u>Δn = (2)-(2+1) = -1  </u>

Thus, Kp is:

K_p=  K_c\times (RT)^{-1}

What is the pH of .0003 M of NaOH
s344n2d4d5 [400]

We are given that the concentration of NaOH is 0.0003 M and are asked to calculate the pH

We know that NaOH dissociates by the following reaction:

NaOH → Na⁺ + OH⁻

Which means that one mole of NaOH produces one mole of OH⁻ ion, which is what we care about since the pH is affected only by the concentration of H⁺ and OH⁻ ions

Now that we know that one mole of NaOH produces one mole of OH⁻, 0.0003M NaOH will produce 0.0003M OH⁻

Concentration of OH⁻ (also written as [OH⁻]) = 3 * 10⁻⁴

<u>pOH of the solution:</u>

pOH = -log[OH⁻] = -log(3 * 10⁻⁴)

pOH = -0.477 + 4

pOH = 3.523

<u>pH of the solution:</u>

We know that the sum of pH and pOH of a solution is 14

pH + pOH = 14

pH + 3.523 = 14                              [subtracting 3.523 from both sides]

pH = 10.477
