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.

Answer:

The molarity of the solution is 1.1 \frac{moles}{liter}

Explanation:

Molarity is a measure of the concentration of that substance that is defined as the number of moles of solute divided by the volume of the solution.

The molarity of a solution is calculated by dividing the moles of the solute by the volume of the solution:

molarity=\frac{number of moles of solute}{volume}

Molarity is expressed in units \frac{moles}{liter}

In this case

  • number of moles of solute= 0.564 moles
  • volume= 0.510 L

Replacing:

molarity=\frac{0.564 moles}{0.510 L}

Solving:

molarity= 1.1 \frac{moles}{liter}

<u><em>The molarity of the solution is 1.1 </em></u>\frac{moles}{liter}<u><em></em></u>

What type of reaction occurs when complex compounds are broken down into simpler substances?
Zarrin [17]
Complex compounds are broken down to simpler substances in catabolic reactions.

These kinds of reactions often occur in biological systems. In living organisms, complex compounds like lipids, proteins and complex sugar like cellulose are broken down into simpler forms. Products of these reactions are simple sugars, amino acids etc. but a certain amount of energy is also produced and stored in energy molecules for future use.

jek_recluse [69]

Answer: a 900 milliliter (ml) pitcher of orange juice at 20 degrees Celsius ( oC)

Explanation:

Thermal energy is the energy possessed by an object by virtue of its temperature. The hotter the substance, the more its molecules vibrate, and therefore the higher its thermal energy.

Thermal energy refers to the sum of kinetic, potential, vibrational ,electronic and rotational energies of the object.

For bodies at same temperature, the body with more molecules will have more thermal energy due to more collisions.
