First let us get the molecular mass of the compound C2H5O.

C has molar mass of 12 amu, H is 1 amu, while O is 16 amu, therefore:

C2H5O = 12 amu * 2 + 1 amu * 5 + 16 amu = 45 amu

So to get 90 amu, simply double all the elements, therefore:

Let us assume that the given formula of elements is empirical formula where elements have simplest whole number ratio

The empirical mass =  2 X atomic mass of carbon + 5 X atomic mass of hydrogen + at mass of O

The empirical mass = 2 X 12 + 5 + 16 = 45

The ratio of molecular mass and empirical mass = 90 / 45 = 2

Molecular formula is obtained by multiplying the empirical formula with this ratio / factor

molecular formula = 2 X (C2H5O) = C4H10O2

Julli [10]
You can have a solution of hydrogen peroxide that might say 10% that means that 10% per mass of the hydrogen peroxide solution is the hydrogen peroxide the rest is water.

concentration is the amount of mass in the solution eg 5gdm-3

hope that helps

The reaction H2(g)+F2(g)?2HF(g) is spontaneous at all temperatures. A classmate calculates the entropy change for this reaction
Pachacha [2.7K]

Answer:

The correct answer is there is a mistake in the calculation. The second law of thermodynamics state that in any spontaneous process there is an increase in the entropy of the universe.

Explanation:

According to the second law a reaction will occur in a system spontaneously if the total entropy of both system and surrounding increases during the reaction.That means in case of spontaneous reaction entropy change is always positive.

     But according to the question the reaction H2+F2=2HF is spontaneous in all temperature.So according to the second law of thermodynamics i can say that my classmate made a mistake in calculation that"s why his result for entropy change comes negative.

HELP ASAP WILL MARK BRAINLIEST: How many grams of aluminum can be extracted from 5000g of alumina
Lesechka [4]

The grams of aluminium extracted from 5000g of alumina is 2647 grams

<h3>Chemical formula of alumina:</h3>
  • Al₂O₃

Let's calculate the molecular mass of Al₂O₃

Al₂O₃ = 27 × 2 + 16 × 3 = 54 + 48 = 102 g/mol

Therefore,

102 g of Al₂O₃ = 54 g of aluminium  

5000g of Al₂O₃  = ?

mass of aluminium produced = 5000 × 54 / 102

mass of aluminium produced = 270000 / 102

mass of aluminium produced  = 2647.05882353

mass of aluminium produced  = 2647 grams
