Answer:

$C_6H_{15}O_6$

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, one computes the molar mass for the given empirical formula as follows:

$M_{empirical}=12*2+1*5+16*2=61g/mol$

In such a way, one computes how many times the molecular formula's molecular mass is contained into the empirical formula's molecular mass in order to determine the whole number relating them as shown below:

$\frac{183.2g/mol}{61g/mol}=3$

Finally, the molecular formula is three times the empirical formula, hence:

$C_6H_{15}O_6$

Best regards.

Answer:

d) Combustión.

Explanation:

¡Hola!

En este caso, dado que estamos enfocados en el concepto de cambio químico, el cual se caracteriza por exhibir un cambio en la composición e identidad de las sustancias iniciales (reactivos) a otras finales (productos).

Ahora bien, como se nos dice que los productos de este cambio químico son energía, agua y dióxido de carbono, inferimos que el nombre de este proceso es d) Combustión, por ejemplo la combustion del gas natural para calentar nuestras comidas en la cocina.

¡Saludos!

Jerry listed the following process on his notebook:

topjm [15]

Answer:

Explanation:

1. The dew is formed when the water vapor at the atmosphere contacts the leaves, which are at a low temperature, so, the vapor temperature decreases, and the liquid is formed. So, it's a gas to liquid change.

2. Ice cubes are at the solid-state, thus this transformation is solid to a liquid change.

3. The cold juice is at a low temperature, so when the water vapor of the air contacts with the glass, its temperature decreases, and its change to a liquid phase. So, it's a gas to liquid change.

4. The evaporated water from the Earth's surface goes to the atmosphere, and, at high altitudes, the temperature is low, so the water vapor condenses and the drops get closer together forming the clouds. So, it's a gas to a liquid change.

What is the formula of the hydride formed by germanium?

Nadusha1986 [10]

The atoms combine to form compounds to attain stability in nature. The combination of atoms takes place by sharing of electrons between the atoms or complete transfer of electrons from one atom to another. Generally, atoms combine to complete their octet, that is to possess eight electrons in their outer most shell (noble gas configurations) except hydrogen which can attain stability by two electrons in its outer most shell.

Since germanium has 4 electrons in its outer most shell so it needs 4 more electrons to complete its octet and attains the stability. Hydrogen has 1 electron in its outer most shell and it needs only 1 electron to attain stability so, each germanium will combine with 4 hydrogen atoms and thus forming $GeH_4$ molecule which is stable in nature.

Hence, $GeH_4$ is the formula of the hydride formed by germanium.

The density of a 3.37M MgCl2 (FW = 95.21) is 1.25 g/mL. Calulate the molality, mass/mass percent, and mass/volume percent. So fa

Dafna1 [17]

Answer : The molality, mass/mass percent, and mass/volume percent are, 0.0381 mole/Kg, 25.67 % and 32.086 % respectively.

Solution : Given,

Density of solution = 1.25 g/ml

Molar mass of $MgCl_2$ (solute) = 95.21 g/mole

3.37 M magnesium chloride means that 3.37 gram of magnesium chloride is present in 1 liter of solution.

The volume of solution = 1 L = 1000 ml

Mass of $MgCl_2$ (solute) = 3.37 g

First we have to calculate the mass of solute.

$\text{Mass of }MgCl_2=\text{Moles of }MgCl_2\times \text{Molar mass of }MgCl_2$

$\text{Mass of }MgCl_2=3.37mole\times 95.21g/mole=320.86g$

Now we have to calculate the mass of solution.

$\text{Mass of solution}=\text{Density of solution}\times \text{Volume of solution}=1.25g/ml\times 1000ml=1250g$

Mass of solvent = Mass of solution - Mass of solute = 1250 - 320.86 = 929.14 g

Now we have to calculate the molality of the solution.

$Molality=\frac{\text{Mass of solute}\times 1000}{\text{Molar mass of solute}\times \text{Mass of solvent}}=\frac{3.37g\times 1000}{95.21g/mole\times 929.14g}=0.0381mole/Kg$

The molality of the solution is, 0.0381 mole/Kg.

Now we have to calculate the mass/mass percent.

$\text{Mass by mass percent}=\frac{\text{Mass of solute}}{\text{Mass of solution}}\times 100=\frac{320.86}{1250}\times 100=25.67\%$

The mass/mass percent is, 25.67 %

Now we have to calculate the mass/volume percent.

$\text{Mass by volume percent}=\frac{\text{Mass of solute}}{\text{Volume of solution}}\times 100=\frac{320.86}{1000}\times 100=32.086\%$

The mass/volume percent is, 32.086 %

Therefore, the molality, mass/mass percent, and mass/volume percent are, 0.0381 mole/Kg, 25.67 % and 32.086 % respectively.
