To get the molecular formula we use the individual atomic masses of the atoms making the molecule. Hence, to get the factor by which the empirical formula is multiplied, we divide molar mass by the total of the mass of the atoms making the empirical formula.
(C2H7) the mass of one carbon atoms is 12 so two atoms add up to 24. The mass of one hydrogen atom is 1 a.m.u thus 7 atoms give a total of 7 a.m.u. The sum of the two types of atoms is 24+7= 31
Molar mass=62.18
62.18/31=2.0
Hence, (C2H7) 2=C4H14
What best explains the type of energy present in the vibrating atoms of a substance?
The answer is: <u>It is thermal energy, which is a type of kinetic energy. </u>
Answer:
a. The pressure in the flask open to the atmosphere during the vaporization of the unknown liquid is equal to the prevailing atmospheric pressure equivalent to 0.957734 atm
Explanation:
The mass of the empty flask and stopper, m = 53.256 g
The volume of the unknown liquid she adds = 5 mL
The temperature of the water in which she heats up the flask = 98.8 °C = 371.95 K
The mass of the flask and the condensed vapor = 53.780 g
The volume of the flask, V = 231.1 mL
The atmospheric pressure, P = 728 mm Hg
a. We note that the student stoppers the flask after all the liquid has evaporated. Therefore, given that the flask was open to the atmospheric pressure as the liquid evaporates, the pressure of the vapor in the flask is equal to the prevailing atmospheric pressure, or 728 mmHg
Using a calculator, 728 mm Hg is equivalent to 0.957734 atm.
