What is the molecular formula for a compound with an empirical formula of CH2O if its experimentally determined molecular weight

is 180 amu?
Chemistry
1 answer:
NNADVOKAT [17]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

C6H12O6.

Explanation:

Adding up the relative atomic masses of the elements

C + 2H + O

= 12 + 2*1 + 16.

= 30.

180 / 30 = 6  so the molecular formula is:

C6H12O6.

If a compound contains a poly atomic ion then what type of compound is it A. Convalent Compound B. Ionic Compound
den301095 [7]

Answer:

B. Ionic Compound

Explanation:

An ionic compound is that compound which contains a positively charged ion called CATION and a negatively charged ion called ANION. The cation loses or transfers electrons to the anion, hence, making the former (cation) positive and the latter (anion) negative.

A polyatomic ion is an ion that contains more than one type of atom e.g OH-, NO3²-, CO3²- etc. A polyatomic ion usually has an overall charge formed from the charges of the individual atoms that makes it up. For example, in OH-, the overall charge is -1.

Since a polyatomic ion can have an overall positive or negative charge, it must enter a reaction with another ion that complements it i.e. a negative polyatomic ion will react with a positive ion to neutralize its charge. Hence, this forms an IONIC COMPOUND. This is why most compounds with polyatomic ions are IONIC COMPOUNDS.

For example, CaCO3 is an ionic compound formed when Ca²+ (cation) reacts with the polyatomic anion: CO3²-

What does a fluorine ion have in common with a neon and a sodium ion
DanielleElmas [232]
The atomic number (Z) of the 3 elements F, Ne, and Na, are 9, 10, and 11.

Explanation:

Now Z refers to the number of protons in the element's nucleus, and protons are POSITIVELY charged particles. So a fluoride ion, F−, has 10 electrons rather than 9 (why?), a neutral neon atom has 10 electrons, and a sodium ion, Na+, also has 10 electrons (why?).

So the 3 species are ISOELECTRONIC; they possess the same number of electrons. 

You should look at the Periodic Table to confirm the electron number. Elements are (usually) electrically neutral (sometimes they can be ionic if they have lost or gained electrons). If there are 10 positively charged protons in the nucleus, there are NECESSARILY 10 electrons associated with the NEUTRAL atom. I don't know WHY I am capitalizing certain WORDS.

You might ask why sodium will form a positive ion, Na+, whereas F forms a negative ion, F−. This again is a Periodic phenomenon, and explicable on the basis of the electronic structure that the Table formalizes.

Neutral metals tend to be electron-rich species, which have 1 or more electrons in a valence shell remote from the nuclear charge. On the other hand, neutral non-metals have valence electrons in incomplete shells, that do not effectively shield the nuclear charge. The demonstrable consequence is that metals lose electrons to form positive ions, whereas non-metals gain electrons to form negative ions.

13. What is the symbol for Enthalpy change?
OverLord2011 [107]

Answer:

Explanation:

13 ) symbol of enthalpy change = Δ H .

14 ) enthalpy change is nothing but heat absorbed or evolved .

During fusion enthalpy change

Δ H .= m Lf , m is mass and Ls is latent heat of fusion

During evaporation, enthalpy change

Δ H .= m Lv , m is mass and Lv is latent heat of evaporation

during temperature rise , enthalpy  change

Δ H = m c Δ T

In case of gas , enthalpy change can be calculated by the following relation

Δ H = Δ E + W , Δ E is change in internal energy , W is work done by gas.

15 ) When enthalpy change is negative , that means heat is released to the environment .So reaction is called exothermic .

when heat is absorbed enthalpy change is positive . Reaction is endothermic.
