A sample of a compound contains 60.0 g C and 5.05 g H.

divide by molar mass of C(12) and H(1) to get molar ratio

C: 60/12=5 and H: 5/1=5

so C:H=5:5=1:1

total molar mass=78

divide by 1C+1H to find the formula: 78/(12+1)=78/13=6

compound is C6H6

Step 1: Calculate Moles for each Element:

Mole of C  =  60.0 / 12  =  5

Mole of H  =  5.05 / 1.008  =  5.009

Step 2: Calculate Mole Ratio:
                                             Divide each mole value with least mole value.

                                 H     :      C

                     5.009/5       :     5/5

                                  1    :     1
So,
           Empirical Formula  =  C₁H₁ or CnHn      ------ (1)

Step 3: Calculate Molecular Formula:
By using formula,
                               n  =  Molecular Mass / Empirical Formula Mass

Molecular Mass  =  78.12 g/mol

Empirical Formula Mass  =  12 + 1  = 13          ∴ C = 12 & H = 1
So,
                               n  =  78.12 / 13 

                               n  =  6

Putting value of n in eq. 1,
  
                                                  C₆H₆
Result:
            
The correct answer is C₆H₆.

Which type of test helps forensic scientists to narrow down the possibilities of what drug a substance may be?
kobusy [5.1K]

The right answer is screening test.

In medicine, screening consists of looking for one or more diseases or abnormalities known as "at risk" in individuals of a given population.

These investigations are followed or not by medical consultations, clinical examinations and treatments.

In addition, screening is a preliminary procedure (test or examination) to detect one or more characteristic signs or symptoms of a disease or syndrome and potentially leading to further investigation.

Which list ranks the gasses in the correct order from the
JulijaS [17]

Answer:

D. chlorine, oxygen, nitrogen, hydrogen.

Explanation:

  • Thomas Graham found that, at a constant  temperature and pressure the rates of effusion  of various gases are inversely proportional to  the square root of their masses.

<em>ν ∝ 1/√M</em>

where ν is the rate of effusion and M is the atomic  or molecular mass of the gas particles.

  • The molecular mass for the listed gases are:

O₂: 32.0 g/mol,

Cl₂: 70.906 g/mol,

N₂: 28.0 g/mol,

H₂: 2.0 g/mol.

  • Hence, the smallest molecular mass of the gas, the fastest rate of effusion.

So, the order from the slowest to the fastest rate of effusion is:

<em>Chlorine, oxygen, nitrogen, hydrogen.</em>

Calculate AH for the reaction:<br> 2N2 (g) + 6H20 (g) → 302 (g) + 4NH3(g)
Ratling [72]

Answer:

Explanation:

4NH₃ (g) + 3O₂ (g) ⇒ 2N₂ (g) + 6H₂ O(1)

ΔH_r={\sum}{ \Delta }H_f(\text{product})-{\sum}{ \Delta }H_f(\text{reactant})

ΔH r =(2ΔH f(N 2 )+6ΔH f (H 2 O(l)))−(4ΔH f​ (NH 3 (g))+3ΔH f (O 2 (g)))

ΔH rex =[2×0+6×(−286)]−[4×(−46)+3×0]=−1716+186

ΔH rex =−1532kJ/mol

Thermodynamics is a branch of physical chemistry that studies heat and its effects and interactions. Governed by the four main laws, thermodynamics plays a huge role in physics and chemistry, and is also responsible for the law of conservation of energy, a fundamental rule in science.
