Answer is: <span>c. Fe</span>₃<span>O</span>₄<span>.
</span>ω(Fe) = 72,360%.
ω(O) = 100% - 72,36% = 27,64%.
For example, if we the mass of compound is 100 g:
m(Fe) = 72,36 g.
n(Fe) = m(Fe) ÷ M(Fe).
n(Fe) = 72,36 g ÷ 55,85 g/mol.
n(Fe) = 1,296 mol.
n(O) = 27,64 g ÷ 16 g/mol.
n(O) = 1,727 mol.
n(Fe) : n(O) = 1,296 mol : 1,727 mol.
n(Fe) : n(O) = 1 : 1,33 or 3 : 4.

<span>Option C. The percentages can be taken for mass. So mass of Iron = 72.360% = 72.36g So mass of Oxygen = 100 - 72.360 = 27.694% = 27.65g Number of moles of Iron = mass/ molar mass = 72.36/ 55.854 = 1.29 Number of moles of Oxygen = 27.65/16 = 1 .728 We shall divide by the smallest So we have 1.29/1.29 = 1 while 1.728/1.29 = 1.33 But 1.33 = 4/3. So we multiply by the lowest common number which happens to be a 3. Hence the empirical formula is Fe3O4.</span>

When the concentration of A in the reaction A ..... B was changed from 1.20 M to 0.60 M, the half-life increased from 2.0 min to
Reika [66]

Answer:

2

0.4167\ \text{M}^{-1}\text{min}^{-1}

Explanation:

Half-life

{t_{1/2}}A=2\ \text{min}

{t_{1/2}}B=4\ \text{min}

Concentration

{[A]_0}_A=1.2\ \text{M}

{[A]_0}_B=0.6\ \text{M}

We have the relation

t_{1/2}\propto \dfrac{1}{[A]_0^{n-1}}

So

\dfrac{{t_{1/2}}_A}{{t_{1/2}}_B}=\left(\dfrac{{[A]_0}_B}{{[A]_0}_A}\right)^{n-1}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{2}{4}=\left(\dfrac{0.6}{1.2}\right)^{n-1}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{1}{2}=\left(\dfrac{1}{2}\right)^{n-1}

Comparing the exponents we get

1=n-1\\\Rightarrow n=2

The order of the reaction is 2.

t_{1/2}=\dfrac{1}{k[A]_0^{n-1}}\\\Rightarrow k=\dfrac{1}{t_{1/2}[A]_0^{n-1}}\\\Rightarrow k=\dfrac{1}{2\times 1.2^{2-1}}\\\Rightarrow k=0.4167\ \text{M}^{-1}\text{min}^{-1}

The rate constant is 0.4167\ \text{M}^{-1}\text{min}^{-1}

Find the reagent to sythesize 1- phenyl-1-propanol
vova2212 [387]

Answer:

aqueous acid is used as a reagent.  

Explanation:

Addition of Grignard reagent in aldehyde and followed by the acidification give rise to the primary or secondary alcohol. when the formaldehyde is used than the primary alcohol is formed otherwise secondary alcohol is formed.

in this reaction we also use the aqueous acid for the acidification as a reagent. We add aqueous acid when ethanol is present. This is because ethanol is get converted in the presence of aqueous acid into the chloroethane.

Why do you think different liquids have different freezing points
Ganezh [65]
I think that different liquids have different freezing points because every liquid consists of different atoms and different things that make up the atom causing them to have different freezing points.

Calculate the molarity of a sugar solution if 4 liters of the solution contains 12 moles of sugar.
castortr0y [4]

Answer:

3M

Explanation:

Molarity is one of the measures of the molar concentration of a solution, which can be calculated by using the formula below:

Molarity = number of moles ÷ volume

From the information given in this question, 4 liters of a solution contains 12 moles of sugar. This means that n = 12mol and V = 4L

Molarity = n/V

Molarity = 12/4

Molarity = 3

Hence, the molarity of the sugar solution is 3mol/L or 3M
