What is the empirical formula of the compound with the molecular formula c18h36?

1 answer:

6 0

When we write a formula of a compound in its simplest form, it is empirical formula.
Given the molecular formula is = C₁₈H₃₆
Now we can relate both empirical and molecular formula as;
Molecular formula = n x empirical formula
C₁₈H₃₆ = 18 x CH₂
So the empirical formula of C₁₈H₃₆ is CH₂

Answer : The temperature of the chloroform will be, $101.67^oF$

Explanation :

First we have to calculate the mass of chloroform.

$\text{Mass of chloroform}=\text{Density of chloroform}\times \text{Volume of chloroform}=1.4832g/ml\times 74.81ml=110.958g$

conversion used : $(1cm^3=1ml)$

Now we have to calculate the temperature of the chloroform.

Formula used :

$q=m\times c\times (T_{final}-T_{initial})$

where,

q = amount of heat or energy = 1.46 kJ = 1460 J (1 kJ = 1000 J)

$c$ = specific heat capacity = $0.96J/g.K$

m = mass of substance = 110.958 g

$T_{final}$ = final temperature = ?

$T_{initial}$ = initial temperature = $25^oC=273+25=298K$

Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get:

$1460J=110.958g\times 0.96J/g.K\times (T_{final}-298)K$

$T_{final}=311.706K$

Now we have to convert the temperature from Kelvin to Fahrenheit.

The conversion used for the temperature from Kelvin to Fahrenheit is:

$^oC=\frac{5}{9}\times (^oF-32)$

As we know that, $K=^oC+273$ or, $K-273=^oC$

$K-273=\frac{5}{9}\times (^oF-32)$

$K=\frac{5}{9}\times (^oF-32)+273$ ...........(1)

Now put the value of temperature of Kelvin in (1), we get:

$311.706K=\frac{5}{9}\times (^oF-32)+273$

$T_{final}=101.67^oF$

Therefore, the temperature of the chloroform will be, $101.67^oF$

azamat

Acids are ionic compounds that break apart in water to form a hydrogen ion. The strength of an acid is based on the concentration of hydrogen ions in a solution. The more hydrogen ions, the stronger the acid. Bases are ionic compounds that break apart in water to form negatively charged hydroxide ions. The strength of the base is based on the concentration of hydroxide ions.
Hence, letter C is the correct answer.
