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

A fossil was analyzed and determined to have a carbon-14 level that is 70 % that of living organisms. The half-life of C-14 is 5
Citrus2011 [14]

Answer: 2948

Explanation:

Half life is the amount of time taken by a radioactive material to decay to half of its original value.

t_{\frac{1}{2}}=\frac{0.693}{k}

k=\frac{0.69}{t_{\frac{1}{2}}}=\frac{0.693}{5730}=1.21\times 10^{-4}years^{-1}

Expression for rate law for first order kinetics is given by:

t=\frac{2.303}{k}\log\frac{a}{a-x}

where,

k = rate constant  = 1.21\times 10^{-4}years^{-1}

t = age of sample  = ?

a = let initial amount of the reactant  = 100

a - x = amount left after decay process = \frac{70}{100}\times 100=70

t=\frac{2.303}{1.21\times 10^{-4}}\log\frac{100}{70}

t=2948years

Thus the fossil is 2948 years old.

. What is the mass of 23.56 moles of Glucose<br> ples of Glucose - C6H1206?
GaryK [48]

Answer:

4244.48 g to the nearest hundredth.

Explanation:

The molar mass of Glucose = 6*12.011 + 12*1.008+ 6*15.999

= 180.156.

So 23.56 moles = 180.156 * 23.56 =  4244.48 g

How many litres (L) of oxygen at STP can be obtained from 110 g of potassium chlorate? [R=0.0821 L.atm/K.mol]
lisabon 2012 [21]
Balance the equation first:

2 KClO3 (s) ---> 2 KCl (s) + 3 O2 (g)

Moles of KClO3 =  110 / 122.5 = 0.89

Following the balanced chemical equation:
We can say moles of O2 produce =  \frac{3}{2} x moles of KClO3

So, O2 = (3 / 2) x  0.89

= 1.34 moles

So, Volume at STP = nRT / P

T = <span>273.15 K
P = 1 atm

So, V = (1.34 x 0.0821 x 273.15) / 1  =  30.2 L</span>

Which of the following would most likely result in an increase in reaction rate? placing the reactants on a hotplate
puteri [66]

Answer:

placing the reactants on a hot plate

Explanation:

If the temperature goes up, the reaction rate will increase. Because the particle will move faster and makes the kinetic energy larger.
