Answer:

C8H8O2

Explanation:

The molecular formula of a compound is simply a multiple of the empirical formula as shown below:

Molecular formula => [C4H4O]n

From the question given, we were told that molar mass of the compound is 136g/mol. This implies that:

[C4H4O]n = 136

Now, let us find the value of n in order to obtain the desired result. This is illustrated below:

[C4H4O]n = 136

[(12x4) + (4x1) + 16]n = 136

[48 + 4 + 16]n = 136

68n = 136

Divide both side by the coefficient of n i.e 68

n = 136/68

n = 2

Therefore the molecular formula is

=> [C4H4O]n

=> [C4H4O]2

=> C8H8O2

Complete combustion of 5.90 g of a hydrocarbon produced 18.8 g of CO2 and 6.75 g of H2O.
Inessa05 [86]
First we have to find moles of C:
Molar mass of CO2:
12*1+16*2 = 44g/mol
(18.8 g CO2) / (44.00964 g CO2/mol) x (1 mol C/ 1 mol CO2) =0.427 mol C 
Molar mass of H2O:
2*1+16 = 18g/mol
As there is 2 moles of H in H2O,
So,

<span>(6.75 g H2O) / (18.01532 g H2O/mol) x (2 mol H / 1 mol H2O) = 0.74mol H </span>

<span>Divide both number of moles by the smaller number of moles: </span>
<span>As Smaaler no moles is 0.427:
So,
Dividing both number os moles by 0.427 :
(0.427 mol C) / 0.427 = 1.000 </span>
<span>(0.74 mol H) / 0.427 = 1.733 </span>

<span>To achieve integer coefficients, multiply by 2, then round to the nearest whole numbers to find the empirical formula: 
C = 1 * 2 = 2
H = 1.733 * 2 =3.466
So , the empirical formula is C2H3</span>

If 250.0 g of water at 30.0 °C cool to 5.0 °C, how many kilojoules of energy did the water lose?
Y_Kistochka [10]

Answer:

-26.125 kj

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of water = 250.0 g

Initial temperature = 30.0°C

Final temperature = 5.0°C

Amount of energy lost = ?

Solution:

Formula:

Q = m.c. ΔT

Q = amount of heat absorbed or released

m = mass of given substance

c = specific heat capacity of substance

ΔT = change in temperature

ΔT = T2 - T1

ΔT = 5.0°C - 30.0°C

ΔT = -25°C

Specific heat of water is 4.18 j/g.°C

Now we will put the values in formula.

Q = m.c. ΔT

Q = 250.0 g × 4.18 j/g.°C × -25°C

Q = -26125 j

J to kJ

-26125 j ×1 kj /1000 j

-26.125 kj

Chemistry Question, Don't really know how to do it lol.
Scilla [17]

Answer: 17.2 g

Explanation:

To calculate the moles :

\text{Moles of solute}=\frac{\text{given mass}}{\text{Molar Mass}}

\text{Moles of} HgS=\frac{20.0 g}{233g/mol}=0.085moles

The balanced chemical equation is:

4HgS(s)+4CaO(s)\rightarrow 4Hg(l)+3CaS(s))+CaSO_4(s)  

According to stoichiometry :  

4 moles of HgS produce =  4 moles of Hg

Thus 0.085 moles of HgS will require=\frac{4}{4}\times 0.085=0.085moles  of Hg

Mass of Hg=moles\times {\text {Molar mass}}=0.085moles\times 200.6g/mol=17.2g

Thus 17.2 g of Hg will be produced form 20.0 g of HgS.
