<span>C5H4 Calculate how many moles of hydrogen and carbon you have in the products. Do this by lookup up the atomic weights of each element in the products Carbon = 12.0107 Hydrogen = 1.00794 Oxygen = 15.999 Using those atomic weights, calculate the molar mass of each product CO2 = 12.0107 + 2 * 15.999 = 44.0087 H2O = 2 * 1.00794 + 15.999 = 18.01488 Now figure out how many moles of each product was produced. CO2: 8.80 g / 44.0087 g/mol = 0.19996 mol H2O: 1.44 g / 18.01488 g/mol = 0.079934 mol Moles of carbon = 0.19996, moles of hydrogen = 2 * 0.079934 = 0.159868 Now we need to find a ratio of small integers that closely approximates 0.19996 / 0.159868 = 1.250782 The closest ratio is 5/4 which indicates that for every 5 carbon atoms, there are 4 hydrogen atoms, so the empirical formula is C5H4.</span>

Cho 4g CuO vào dung dịch axit clohidric 10% thì phản ứng vừa đủ.
Sholpan [36]

Answer:

Explanation:

a. CuO+ 2HCl⇒CuCl2+ H2O

b. n_{CuO}= \frac{4}{80}= 0,05 (mol)

⇒n_{CuCl2}= n_{CuO}=0,05 mol

⇒m_{CuCl2}= 0,05×135=6,75 (g)

c. n_{HCl}=2× n_{CuO}=0,1 (mol)

⇒m_{HCl}= 0,1×36,5= 3,65 (g)

⇒m_{dd HCl}= \frac{m_{HCl}}{10}×100=36,5 (g)

⇒ Nồng độ phần trăm dd sau phản ứng= Nồng độ % dd CuCl2=\frac{m_{CuCl2} }{m_{dd HCl+ m_{CuO} } }×100=\frac{6,75}{36,5+4} ×100≈ 16,67%

Which comparison accurately states why phylogenetic trees based on molecular data can be more informative than those based on mo
Romashka [77]


Molecular data is more informative than morphology because this examines the DNA sequence and protein composition. This then provide a more comprehensive detail on what species are more related and distant with one another. .

If water were a linear (not bent) molecule like co2, electrostatic interactions between water molecules would be much weaker. wh
Ksenya-84 [330]

Answer;

The partial negative charge on oxygen would stick out less and be less able to participate in hydrogen bonding.

Explanation;

Water is a polar molecule because the electrons are not shared equally, they're closer to the oxygen atom than the hydrogen.

-Normally, the water molecule is a bent shape because of the pair of lone electrons - they repulse each other and exert a compression to the hydrogen atoms at a slight 104º angle. It is a bent molecular geometry that results from tetrahedral electron pair geometry.

-The 2 lone electron pairs exerts a little extra repulsion on the two bonding hydrogen atoms to create a slight compression to a 104 degrees bond angle. Therefore, the water molecule is bent molecular geometry because the lone electron pairs.

Thus, If water were a linear molecule like co2, electrostatic interactions between water molecules would be much weaker, then the partial negative charge on oxygen would stick out less and be less able to participate in hydrogen bonding.
