Determine the molecular formula for the unknown if the molecular mass is 60.0 amu and the empirical formula is ch2o.

Chemistry

Answer:

The molecular formule for this unknow molecule is C2H4O2

Explanation:

The empirical formula is CH2O  ( or better said CnH2nOn)

This means there are 3 elements in the formula of this molecule

⇒ Carbon (C) with a Molar mass of 12 g/mole

⇒ Hydrogen (H) with a Molar mass of 1 g/mole

⇒ Oxygen (O) with a Molar mass of 16 g/mole

We can also notice that the amount of hydrogen should 2x the amount of carbon ( also 2x the amount of oxygen).

The mass of the empirical formule = 12g/ mole + 2* 1 g/mole + 16 g/mole = 30 g/mole

To know what number is n in CnH2nOn we should divide the molecular mass by the empirical mass:

60 g/mole / 30g/mole = 2

this means n = 2

and this will give a molecular formule of C2H4O2  

We can control this to calculate the molecular mass:

2*12 + 4* 1 + 2*16 = 24 + 4 + 32 = 60 g/mole

The molecular formule for this unknow molecule is C2H4O2

The temperature in a town started out at 55 degrees. By the end of the day the temperature dropped to -6 degrees.
garik1379 [7]

Answer:

The choice of the answer is fourth option that is -61 degrees.

Therefore the temperature drop is -61°Centigrade.

Explanation:

Given:

The temperature in a town started out at 55 degrees

Start temperature = 55°Centigrade. (Initial temperature)

End of the Day      = -6°Centigrade. (Final temperature)

To Find:

How far did the temperature drop?

Solution:

We will have,

\textrm{Temperature drop}=\textrm{Final temperature}-\textrm{Initial temperature}

Substituting the above values in it we get

\textrm{Temperature drop}=-6-55\\\\\therefore \textrm{Temperature drop}=-61\° centigrade

Therefore the temperature drop is -61°Centigrade.

Using the word bank explain why increasing the temperature increases the rate of reaction​
katrin2010 [14]

Answer:Increasing the temperature increases reaction rates because of the disproportionately large increase in the number of high energy collisions. It is only these collisions (possessing at least the activation energy for the reaction) which result in a reaction.

The Hall process for the production of aluminum involves the reaction of aluminum oxide with elemental carbon to give aluminum m
topjm [15]

Answer:

  • <u><em>1.7 × 10³ kg of ore.</em></u>

Explanation:

Call X the amount of aluminum ore mined to produce 1.0 × 10³ kg the aluminum metal.

Then, taking into account the yield of the reaction (82 % = 0.82) and the percent of aluminun in the ore (71% = 0.71), you can write the following equation:

  •  X         ×          71%                ×       82%     =     1.0 × 10³ kg

         ↑                      ↑                              ↑                     ↑

(mass of ore)    (% of Al in the ore)        (yield)        ( Al metal to obtain)

You must just simplify, solve and compute:

  • 0.71 × 0.82 × X = 1,000
  • X = 1,000 / (0.71 × 0.82) = 1,000 / 0.5822 = 1,717.6 Kg

Round to two significant figures; 1,700 kg = 1.7 × 10³ kg of ore ← answer.

1Calculate the density of an object that has a mass of 84.7g and a volume of 59.3 cm3
Iteru [2.4K]

Answer:

<h2>1.43 g/cm³</h2>

Explanation:

The density of a substance can be found by using the formula

density =  \frac{mass}{volume} \\

From the question

mass = 84.7 g

volume = 59.3 cm³

We have

density =  \frac{84.7}{59.3}  \\  = 1.428330...

We have the final answer as

<h3>1.43 g/cm³</h3>

Hope this helps you
