Answer:

                           O        H        C

Moles in 100g  3.33   6.65    3.33

Ratio                  1.00   2.00    1.00

Possible empirical formula = OH_{2}C

Answer:

CH2O

Explanation:

Data obtained from the question include:

C = 40%

H = 6.7%

O = 53.3%

Divide by their molar mass

C = 40/12 = 3.33

H = 6.7/1 = 6.7

O = 53.3/16 = 3.33

Divide by the smallest

C = 3.33/3.33 = 1

H = 6.7/3.33 = 2

O = 3.33/3.33 = 1

The empirical formula is CH2O

What are two things that you observed when you heated the mixture of tin and nitric acid over the Bunsen burner in the virtual l
Rus_ich [418]
1. The reaction for this would be:

Sn + 4 HNO₃ →  SnO₂ + 4 NO₂ + 2 H₂O

The first observation would be bubbling of the solution and brown acrid smoke is produced due to the presence of NO₂ gas. Another observation would be the presence of a white solid which is SnO₂.

2. Heating was required to get rid of the H₂O. When all moisture is gone, you weigh the sample. Afterwhich, you further heat it to get ride of the oxygen. By doing this, you would know the individual mass of each element. Then, you can solve for the empirical formula of the oxide of tin.

The pressure on a sample of gas is increased from 1.0 atm to 3.0 atm. If the new volume is 0.52 L, find the original volume.
swat32

Answer: 1.56 ATM

Explanation: if we assume temperature is constant, gas obeys

Boyles law pV= constant. Then p1·V1= p2·V2. And V1 = p2V2/p1

= 3.0 atm·0,52 l / 1.0 atm

A flask holds 3.01 x 1023 molecules of carbon dioxide. The container is holding ________
sammy [17]
 (B), because 1.0 moles would be 6.02 x 10^23 molecules. So you have half a mole.<span>
