An empirical formula is the "reduced" version of a molecular formula. For example, CH3 is the empirical formula for C2H6, C3H9, C4H12, and so forth. The difference in subscripts between an empirical formula and molecular formula is given by the constant n. If n is a whole number, this means the numerator is the molecular formula. So the answer is D. <span>subscript of C in molecular formula = n  subscript of C in empirical formula. This can be rewritten as:

n = subscript of C in molecular formula/subscript of C in empirical formula</span>

Determine if these molecules and ion are polar.
Colt1911 [192]

Answer:

a. Polar

b. Polar

c. Non-polar

d. Non-polar

Explanation:

a. H_3O^+, hydronium cation contains a positive charge. Just as any other ion, it is polar, as it has a net charge.

b. H_2S has the same shape as water. There are two lone pairs on sulfur atom which produce an overall dipole moment in this molecule, the bent structure is polar.

c. PCl_5 is non-polar, as the central atom, phosphorus, doesn't contain any lone pairs, all the dipole moments cancel out: two dipole moments in the vertical plane, P-Cl, and three P-Cl dipoles in the horizontal plane within a trigonal bipyramidal shape.

d. CF_4 is non-polar, since it's a tetrahedral molecule with no lone pairs on carbon atom, all four C-F dipole moments cancel out to yield a net 0 dipole moment.

15g of FeCI3 is dissolved in 450 mL of solution. What is the concentration of [CI-]?
storchak [24]

The concentration of [CI-] : 0.617 M

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

FeCl₃ dissolved in 450 mL of solution(will dissociate )

Reaction

FeCl₃⇒Fe³⁺+3Cl⁻

  • mol FeCl₃(MW=162,2 g/mol)

\tt \dfrac{15}{162.2}=0.0925

  • mol Cl⁻ :

\tt \dfrac{3}{1}\times 0.0925=0.2775

  • molarity of Cl⁻ :

\tt \dfrac{0.2775}{0.45}=0.617~M

What is the iupac name of the following compound? <br><br> 2,2-dimethyl-4-ethylheptane
Lady bird [3.3K]

Answer:

The IUPAC name of the compound has already been given which is 2,2-dimethyl-4-ethylheptane.

Explanation:

The IUPAC (International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry) is an authority in chemistry that provides a guideline and standardized methods in the naming of compounds formed from the periodic table.

In order the give an IUPAC name to a compound, certain steps needs to be followed, these includes:

--> Identify the functional group in the compound as this will form the suffix. For example if the functional group is an alkane the suffix will be -ane.

--> Identify the longest carbon chain (it may not be a straight chain) that contains the functional group. This forms the prefix. Example: if the longest carbon chain is 7 carbon atoms then the prefix will be hept-

--> All the carbons of the longest chain should be numbered

--> Identify branched groups on the chain and name them according to the number of carbon atoms. They usually end with -yl.

--> Finally, combine the elements of the name is a single word.

The structural formula of the IUPAC compound can be found in the attached file for a better understanding. The branched groups are circled.
