Since there is no weight, I would assume that this is a 100g of pure compound.
Okay so I would be changing the percentage to gram to solve for the mole.
So
40.0g C (1 mol C/12.01 g C) = 3.33 mol C
6.73g H (1 mol H/1.01 g H ) = 6.66 mol H
53.3g O (1 mol O/16.00 g O) = 3.33 mol O

With that, two of our moles is 3.33, so we consider that are our 1, as it is also the lowest. Therefore the empirical formula is CH2O

Answer:

E°= E°cathode- E° anode= 0.271-0.330= -0.59V

Explanation:

NB: the stoichiometry does not affect E°values,

And the more positive the E° values , the greater it's tendency to become spontaneous and hence irreversible, and the more negative the E° values the more likely to become less spontaneous and reversible, hence the above reaction is reversible

Calculate the mole fraction of the total ions in an aqueous solution prepared by dissolving 0.400 moles of CaI2 in 850.0 g of wa
Evgesh-ka [11]

Answer:

0.00840

Explanation:

The computation of the mole fraction is as follow:

As we know that

Molar mass = Number of grams ÷ number of moles

Or

number of moles = Number of grams ÷ molar mass

Given that

Number of moles of CaI2 = 0.400

And, Molar mass of water = 18.0 g/mol

Now  Number of moles of water is

= 850.0 g ÷ 18.0 g/mol

= 47.22 mol

And, Total number of moles is

= 0.400 + 47.22

= 47.62

So, Molar fraction of CaI2 is

= 0.400 ÷ 47.62

= 0.00840

A concentrated aqueous solution of Pb(NO3)2 is slowly added to 1.0 L of a mixed aqueous solution containing 0.010 M Na2CrO4 and
Oduvanchick [21]

Answer:

This means the amount of PbCrO4 will precipitate first, with a [Pb^2+] concentration of 1.8*10^-12 M

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Molarity of Na2CrO4 = 0.010 M

Molarity of NaBr = 2.5 M

Ksp(PbCrO4) = 1.8 * 10^–14

Ksp(PbBr2) = 6.3 * 10^–6

Step 2: The balanced equation

PbCrO4 →Pb^2+ + CrO4^2-

PbBr2  → Pb^2+ + 2Br-

Step 3: Define Ksp

Ksp PbCrO4 = [Pb^2+]*[CrO4^2-]

1.8*10^-14 = [Pb^2+] * 0.010 M

[Pb^2+] = 1.8*10^-14 /0.010

[Pb^2+] = 1.8*10^-12 M

The minimum [Pb^2+] needed to precipitate PbCrO4 is 1.8*10^-12 M

Ksp PbBr2 = [Pb^2+][Br-]²

6.3 * 10^–6 = [Pb^2+] (2.5)²

[Pb^2+] = 1*10^-6 M

The minimum [Pb^2+] needed to precipitate PbBr2 is 1*10^-6 M

This means the amount of PbCrO4 will precipitate first, with a [Pb^2+] concentration of 1.8*10^-12 M
