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

What is the relationship between the amount of substance ( concentration) and reaction rates?
jekas [21]

Answer:

Increasing the concentration of the reagents makes the collision between two molecules of the reagents more likely, thereby increasing the probability that the reaction will occur between these reagents.

As for the relationship between concentration and volume, density also comes into play, a higher volume, lower molarity and also lower concentration.

The pressure when increasing could generate a closer approach between the particles, therefore generating an increase in the reaction speed.

Pressure and volume are related but inversely proportional, therefore if the volume increases the pressure decreases and so on.

the reaction rate increases as the contact surface area increases. This is due to the fact that more solid particles are exposed and can be reached by reactant molecules.

A perfect reaction where the collision is promoted and the reaction speed advances is with the presence of a solvent, with an increase in pressure and a decrease in volume, with an increase in the exposure of the surface, with the presence of a catalyst, with increasing temperature and with increasing entrance

Explanation:

The reaction rate is defined as the amount of substance that is transformed into a certain reaction per unit of volume and time. For example, the oxidation of iron under atmospheric conditions is a slow reaction that can take many years but over time it is oxidized sooner or later by the oxygenation of its surface layer, but the combustion of butane in a fire is a reaction that happens in fractions of seconds, giving rise to an exothermic reaction with products such as CO2 and H2O

Una disolución contiene 40% de ácido acético en masa. La densidad de la disolución es de 1.049 g/mL a 20°C. Calcule la masa de á
s344n2d4d5 [400]

Answer:

52.45g

Explanation:

The computation of the mass of pure acetic acid in 125mL of this solution is shown below:

The percentage of mass would be equivalent to the g of solute in each 100g of water

As we know that

density = mass ÷ volume

So,

Volume = mass ÷ density

V = 100g / 1.049 (g / ml)

V = 95.328 mL

Now In every 95,328 ml of C_2H_4O_2 there are 40g of C_2H_4O_2

i.e.

each 125ml of C_2H_4O_2 there are 52.45g

SO,

x = 40g. 125ml ÷ 95.328

x = 52.45g

Which is associated with a fission reaction? *
podryga [215]

Answer: Radioactive waste

Explanation:

The nuclear fission reaction consists of heavy atomic particles or heavy nucleus, like plutonium and uranium and in radioactive heavy metals. In the fission reaction the nucleus get split into equal masses of particles. This process is associated with release of large amount of energy. The fission of radioactive waste can cause deadly mutations in living beings.
