Answer: 1.6221*10^23 atoms

Explanation:

Butane = C4H10

Molar mass = 58g/mol

1 mole of butane has 4 carbon atoms.

% of carbon in 1 mole of C4H10 = 4*12/58 =82.8%

Mass of carbon in 4g of butane = 82.8/100 *4 = 3.312g.

3.312g of carbon is equal to how many moles of carbon?

No.of moles = mass/ molar mass

3.312/12 = 0.276 moles.

Using Avogadro's number,

Number of atoms in any substance = Avogadro's constant * no of moles of that substance

(6.02214*10^23) * 0.276 = 1.6221*10^23 atoms.

An unknown compound is found to have a molar mass of 392.16 g/mol. If the empirical formula is C2H5PF2, what is the molecular fo
notsponge [240]

Answer:

C8H20P4F8

Explanation:

Molecular formula is based off a ratio of the molecular formula's molar mass divided by the empirical formula's molar mass.

The molar mass of the empirical formula C2H5PF2 is 98.02g. We find this by adding the molar masses of all elements in the formula, multiplied by their subscripts.

2(12.01) + 5(1.01) + 30.97 + 2(18.99) = 98.02

We then divide the molecular molar mass by the empirical molar mass.

392.16/98.02 = 4

This tells us that the molecular formula has 4 times the mass of the empirical formula. Because mass comes from the elements in the formula, we multiply all the subscripts by 4 to get the molecular formula.

2x4 = 8

5x4 = 20

1x4 = 4

2x4 = 8

So the molecular formula is C8H20P4F8

A ball of mass 0.2 kg is dropped from a height of 10 m. How much mechanical energy does it have right before it hits the ground?
lana [24]

Answer:

19.6 J  

Step-by-step explanation:

Before the ball is dropped, it has a <em>potential energy </em>

PE = mgh

PE = 0.2 × 10 × 9.8

PE = 19.6 J

Just before the ball hits the ground, the potential energy has been converted into kinetic (<em>mechanical</em>) energy.

KE = 19.6 J
