1) divide each percentage by the relative atomic mass of the element

2) divide all results by the smallest number

3)multiply by a whole number to get the simplest whole number ratio (if necessary)

that is to say:

Na                                   S                            O

32.37÷23                 22.58÷32                45.05÷16

= 1.407                       = 0.7056               = 2.816       (to 4 significant figures)

the smallest number here is 0.7056 so:

1.407÷0.7056        0.7056÷0.7056       2.816÷0.7056

=1.99 approx.2                   = 1                   3.99 approx. 4

here there is no need to carry out step 3 as ratio obtained is already a simplest whole number  ratio

so empirical formula is: Na₂SO₄

Which of the following statements concerning equilibrium constants is true? The equilibrium constant of the reverse reaction is
Brut [27]

Answer:

When the coefficients in a balanced chemical reaction are multiplied by two, the equilibrium constant is not affected.

Explanation:

The equilibrium constant of a reaction is known to remain steady.

Even if all the coefficients of all the species in the reaction are multiplied by two, the value of the equilibrium constant will reamin the same because the equilibrium position will not change as a result of that.

COMPARE: Identify three ways that a biologist’s research is similar to an astronomer’s.
dalvyx [7]
  1. Biologist and astronomer both use tools that magnify  so they are able to view minute objects. Astronomers use telescopes while biologists use microscopes.
  2. They both require data science due to the enormous data they are collecting that needs to be analyzed. Astronomers are collecting data on millions of stars and galaxies. Biologists require data science to analyze the enormous genomic data from populations.
  3. Both fields involve making new  discoveries due to the enormity of the scale in their scopes. Biologists and astronomy attempt to find new planets and those that could harbor extra-terrestrial life while biology attempts to find new undiscovered species of organisms on earth.

Given the following heats of combustion. CH3OH(l) + 3/2 O2(g) CO2(g) + 2 H2O(l) ΔH°rxn = -726.4 kJ C(graphite) + O2(g) CO2(g) ΔH
sergeinik [125]

Answer:

The standard enthalpy of formation of methanol is, -238.7 kJ/mole

Explanation:

The formation reaction of CH_3OH will be,

C(s)+2H_2(g)+\frac{1}{2}O_2\rightarrow CH_3OH(g),\Delta H_{formation}=?

The intermediate balanced chemical reaction will be,

C(graphite)+O_2(g)\rightarrow CO_2(g), \Delta H_1=-393.5kJ/mole..[1]

H_2(g)+\frac{1}{2}O_2(g)\rightarrow H_2O(l), \Delta H_2=-285.8kJ/mole..[2]

CH_3OH(g)+\frac{3}{2}O_2(g)\rightarrow CO_2(g)+2H_2O(l) , \Delta H_3=-726.4kJ/mole..[3]

Now we will reverse the reaction 3, multiply reaction 2 by 2  then adding all the equations, Using Hess's law:

We get :

C(graphite)+O_2(g)\rightarrow CO_2(g) , \Delta H_1=-393.5kJ/mole..[1]

2H_2(g)+2O_2(g)\rightarrow 2H_2O(l) ,\Delta H_2=2\times (-285.8kJ/mole)=-571.6kJ/mol..[2]

CO_2(g)+2H_2O(l)\rightarrow CH_3OH(g)+\frac{3}{2}O_2(g) ,\Delta H_3=726.4kJ/mole [3]

The expression for enthalpy of formation of C_2H_4 will be,

\Delta H_{formation}=\Delta H_1+2\times \Delta H_2+\Delta H_3

\Delta H=(-393.5kJ/mole)+(-571.6kJ/mole)+(726.4kJ/mole)

\Delta H=-238.7kJ/mole

The standard enthalpy of formation of methanol is, -238.7 kJ/mole

Is this equation completely balanced? 2C8H8 + 25O2 8CO2 + 18H2O No, because the number of carbon, hydrogen & oxygen atoms on
Sergio039 [100]
<span>So to make it clear let's break the equation down species by species and assess the number of each species on bothe sides of the equation:
                   2C</span>₈H₈  +  25O₂   →   8CO₂ +  18H₂<span>O
LHS:  C - 16                                           RHS:  C - 8
          H - 16                                                     H - 36
          O - 50                                                    O - 34

Thus based on that it is evident that the equation is not quite balanced.  This therefore means a "</span><span>No, because the number of carbon, hydrogen & oxygen atoms on both sides of the equation are not equal."

</span>The actual balance equation would be C₈H₈  +  10O₂   →   8CO₂ +  4H₂O
