). The molar mass of an organic acid, a compound composed of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen, is 194.14 g/mol. Combustion of a 1.50

0-g sample produced 2.0402 g of CO2 and 0.6955 g of H2O. Determine the molecular formula of the acid. The molar masses of C, H, O, CO2, and H2O are 12.01 g/mol, 1.008 g/mol, 16.00 g/mol, 44.01 g/mol, and 18.02, g/mol, respectively.

Answer:

The empirical formula is C₆H₁₀O₇.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Calculate the masses of C, H, and O from the masses given.

Mass of C =  2.0402 g CO₂ × (12.01 g C/44.01 g CO₂) = 0.5568  g C

Mass of H = 0.6955 g H₂O  × (2.016 H/18.02 g H₂O)  = 0.077 81 g H

Mass of O = Mass of compound - Mass of C - Mass of H = (1.500 – 0.5568 – 0.077 81) g = 0.8654 g O

=====

2. Convert these masses to moles.

Moles  C = 0.5568  × 1/12.01  = 0.046 36

Moles H = 0.077 81 × 1/1.008 = 0.077 19

Moles O = 0.8654   × 1/16.00 = 0.054 09

=====

3. Find the molar ratios.

Moles  C = 0.046 36/0.046 36 = 1

Moles H = 0.077 19/0.046 36   = 1.665

Moles O = 0.054 09/0.046 36 = 1.167

======

4. Multiply the ratios by a number to make them close to integers

C  = 1        × 6 = 6

H = 1.665 × 6 = 9.991

O = 1.167 × 6  = 7.001

=====

5. Round the ratios to integers

C:H:O =6:10:7

=====

6. Write the empirical formula

The empirical formula is C₆H₁₀O₇.

=======

7. Calculate the empirical formula mass

C₆H₁₀O₇ = 6×12.01 + 10×1.008 + 7×16.00

C₆H₁₀O₇ = 72.01 + 10.08+ 112.0

C₆H₁₀O₇ = 194.09

=====

8. Divide the molecular mass by the empirical formula mass.  

MM/EFM = 194.14/194.09 = 1.000 ≈ 1

=====

9. Determine the molecular formula

MF = (EF)ₙ = (C₆H₁₀O₇)₁ = C₆H₁₀O₇

The density of air under ordinary conditions at 25 degrees * C is 1.19g / L . How many kilograms of air are in a room that measu
professor190 [17]

Answer:

33.3 kg of air

Explanation:

This is a problem of conversion unit.

Density is mass / volume

Therefore we have to calculate the volume in the room, to be multiply by density. That answer will be the mass of air.

Volume of the room → 9 ft . 11 ft . 10 ft = 990 ft³

Density is in g/L, therefore we have to convert the ft³ to dm³ (1 dm³ = 1L)

990 ft³ . 28.3 dm³ / 1ft³ = 28017 dm³ → 28017 L

This is the volume of the room, if we replace it in the density formula we can know the mass of air in g.

1.19 g/L = Mass of air / 28017 L

Mass of air = 28017 L .  1.19 g/L → 33340 g of air

Finally, let's convert the mass in g to kg → 33340 g . 1kg / 1000 g = 33.3 kg

What is an example of kinetic energy at work,1 a ball lodge in the tree, 1 a frisbee flaying in the air, 3 a car in the garage
AfilCa [17]

Answer:

a frisbee flaying in the air

Explanation:

Kinetic energy can be defined as an energy possessed by an object or body due to its motion.

Mathematically, kinetic energy is given by the formula;

K.E = \frac{1}{2}MV^{2}

Where;

  • K.E represents kinetic energy measured in Joules.
  • M represents mass measured in kilograms.
  • V represents velocity measured in metres per seconds square.

Hence, an example of kinetic energy at work is a frisbee flaying in the air because it would possess energy due to its motion in the air.

Compare natural selection to evolution. Be sure to justify your response in two or more complete sentences.
WINSTONCH [101]
Natural selection is the process in which a weaker, or less advantaged animal loses something to a stronger, more advantaged animal. For example, a frog with a broken leg probably will not get to mate while a healthy  frog will. Evolution is the process of an animal gradually changing over the generations biologically. An example of this is the theory that humans slowly evolved from monkeys, gradually becoming more and more human like.
