The molecular formula is D. C_8H_20O_4Si.

<em>Step 1</em>.Calculate the <em>empirical formula </em>

a) Calculate the moles of each element

Moles of C= 196.01 g C × (1 mol C/12.01 g C) = 16.325 mol C  

Moles of H = 41.14 g H × (1 mol H/1.008 g H) = 40.813 mol H

Moles of O = 130.56 g O × (1 mol O/16.00 g O) = 8.1650 mol O

Moles of Si = 57.29 g Si × (1 mol Si/28.085 g Si) = 2.0399 mol Si

b) Calculate the molar ratio of each element

Divide each number by the smallest number of moles and round off to an integer

C:H:O:Si = 8.0027:20.008:4.0027:1 ≈ 8:20:4:1

c) Write the empirical formula

EF = C_8H_20O_4Si

<em>Step </em>2. Calculate the <em>molecular formula</em>

EF Mass = 208.33 u

MF mass = 208.329  u

MF = (EF)_n

n = MF Mass/EF Mass = 208.329 u/208.33 u = 1.0000 ≈ 1

MF = C_8H_20O_4Si

The number of grams of H2 in 1470 mL of H2 gas. ​
Lorico [155]

Answer:

0.1313 g.

Explanation:

  • It is known that at STP, 1.0 mole of ideal gas occupies 22.4 L.
  • Suppose that hydrogen behaves ideally and at STP conditions.

<u><em>Using cross multiplication:</em></u>

1.0 mol of hydrogen occupies → 22.4 L.

??? mol of hydrogen occupies → 1.47 L.

∴ The no. of moles of hydrogen that occupies 1.47 L = (1.0 mol)(1.47 L)/(22.4 L) = 6.563 x 10⁻² mol.

  • Now, we can get the no. of grams of hydrogen in 6.563 x 10⁻² mol:

<em>The no. of grams of hydrogen = no. of hydrogen moles x molar mass of hydrogen</em> = (6.563 x 10⁻² mol)(2.0 g/mol) = <em>0.1313 g.</em>

Reproductive cells are created by _____. mitosis meiosis cytokinesis
Alex787 [66]
The correct answer is meiosis. Meiosis is a process where a cell divides into two where these cells contain half of the genetic information from the original cell. Meiosis produces daughter cells containing 50% information from the mother and 50% from the father.

The reaction of perchloric acid (HClO4) with lithium hydroxide (LiOH) is described by the equation: HClO4 + LiOH → LiClO4 + H2O
dem82 [27]

Answer:

A. 0.35 M

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, given the volume and concentration of lithium hydroxide and the volume of chloric acid, we can compute the concentration of the neutralized acid by using the following equation:

n_{acid}=n_{base}\\\\V_{acid}M_{acid}=V_{base}M_{base}\\\\M_{acid}=\frac{V_{base}M_{base}}{V_{acid}} =\frac{46.9mL*0.75M}{100mL}\\ \\M_{acid}=0.35M

Therefore, answer is A. 0.35 M.

Regards.

How many moles are found in 10.5 g of Pb?
deff fn [24]

Answer:

Number of moles = 0.05 mol

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of Pb = 10.5 g

Number of moles of Pb = ?

Solution:

Formula:

Number of moles = mass/molar mass

Molar mass of Pb is 207.2 g/mol.

Now we will put the values in formula.

Number of moles = 10.5 g/207.2 g/mol

Number of moles = 0.05 mol
