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

How many moles of KOH are needed to neutralize 1.5 moles of H2SO4 ​
kap26 [50]

Answer:

1.5 moles of H₂SO₄ needs 3.0 moles pf KOH to be neutralized.​

Explanation:

  • KOH is dissociate according to the equation:

KOH → K⁺ + OH⁻.

  • H₂SO₄ is dissociated according to the equation:

H₂SO₄ → 2H⁺ + SO₄²⁻.

<em>So, every 1.0 mole of KOH produces 1.0 mol of OH⁻.</em>

<em>While, every 1.0 mole of H₂SO₄ produces 1.0 mol of H⁺.</em>

<em />

Thus, every mol of H₂SO₄ needs 2.0 moles of KOH to be neutralized.

<em>So, 1.5 moles of H₂SO₄ needs (2 x 1.5 mol) = 3.0 moles pf KOH to be neutralized.​</em>

Which type of molecule is octanal?<br> A. Alcohol<br> B. Ketone<br> C. Amine<br> D. Aldehyde
tia_tia [17]
It is an aldehyde.

the ending (al) tells you that. alcohols end in “ol”, ketones end in “one”, amines have 2 different ways of naming so i suggest finding which one you want to use, and aldehyde end in “al” :)
