Answer:
THE EMPIRICAL FORMULA OF THE SUBSTANCE IS C2H5NO
Explanation:
The steps involved in calculating the empirical formula of this substance in shown in the table below:
Element Carbon Hydrogen Nitrogen Oxygen
1. % Composition 40.66 8.53 23.72 27.09
2. Mole ratio =
%mass/ atomic mass 40.66/12 8.53/1 23.72/14 27.09/16
= 3.3883 8.53 1,6943 1.6931
3. Divide by smallest
value (0.6931) 3.3883/1.6931 8.53/1.6931 1.6943/1.6931 1.6931/1.6931
= 2.001 5.038 1.0007 1
4. Whole number ratio 2 5 1 1
The empirical formula = C2H5NO
Pure Substance- Element
Explanation:
Pure Substance VS. Mixture:
A pure Substance CANNOT be separated by physical changes, but a Mixture can.
PURE SUBSTANCE: Element VS. Compound:
An Element is one simple atom while a compound is two or more.
Example: Al (Aluminum) is an Element. CaCl (Calcium Chloride) is a compound.
You can split a compound with chemical changes because if you were to take the example, it would be a Calcium atom and a Chlorine atom.
You CANNOT split a single atom (Element) unless you want to make an atomic bomb which takes a lot of energy and you don’t want to destroy the whole world.
MIXTURE: Homogeneous VS. Heterogeneous:
Homo- mixed; cannot differentiate pieces
Hetero- can differentiate pieces
EX: homo- ketchup (can you see the difference in the vinegar and tomato paste? No)
Hetero- chicken noodle soup (there’s broth, chicken, peas, carrots, and other things)
Answer:
Saturation is the maximum amount of water vapor in the air at an existing temperature and pressure. Air is said to be saturated at 100 percent relative humidity when it contains the maximum amount of moisture possible at that specific temperature. Dew point is the temperature when air reaches 100% relative humidity.
