<span>Calculating the moles and the moles ratio of the elements gives us the ratio of atoms in each element. Converting the percentage of element into grams 40.25% carbon = 40.25/100 = .4025 * 100 g of carbon = 40.25g of C 6.19% hydrogen = 6.19/100 = .0619 * 100g g of hydrogen = 6.19g of H 8.94% oxygen = 8.94/100 = .0819 * 100 g of oxygen = 8.19g of O 44.62% bromine = 44.62/100 = .4462 * 100 g of bromine = 44.62g of Br Converting the grams of element into moles (48.38 g C) (1 mol/ 12.10 g C) = 4.028 mol C (8.12 g H) (1 mol/ 1.008 g H) = 8.056 mol H (53.38 g O) (1 mol/ 16.00 g O) = 3.336 mol O (44.62g of Br)(0.012515018021626 moles) = 0.55842 mol Br Calculating the moles ratio of elements by dividing the small number of moles of an element 4.028 mol C /0.55842 = 7.2 mol C x 5 = 36 mol C 8.056 mol H / 0.55842 = 14.42 mol H = 72 mol H 3.336 mol O / 0.55842 = 5.97 mol O = 30 mol O 0.55842 mol Br / 0.55842 = 1mol Br = 5 mol Br So the empirical formula is (C6H12O5)6Br5</span>

Answer: Empirical formula will be C_6H_{11}OBr

Explanation: Assuming that the total mass of the given tear gas = 100g

Mass of each element will be equal to the percentages of each element given

Mass of Carbon = 40.25g

Mass of Hydrogen = 6.19g

Mass of Oxygen = 8.94g

Mass of Bromine = 44.62g

Now, converting mass of each element into their moles using the formula

Moles=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}

\text{Moles of carbon}=\frac{40.25g}{12g}=3.354moles     (Molar Mass of C = 12g)

\text{Moles of hydrogen}=\frac{6.19g}{1g}=6.19moles    (Molar Mass of H = 1g)

\text{Moles of oxygen}=\frac{8.94g}{16g}=0.558moles    (Molar Mass of O = 16g)

\text{Moles of Bromine}=\frac{44.62g}{80g}=0.558moles    (Molar Mass of Br = 80g)

Dividing moles of each element with the smallest number of moles calculated, we get the mole ratio of each element.

\text{Mole Ratio of carbon}=\frac{3.354moles}{0.558moles}=6.01\approx 6

\text{Mole Ratio of hydrogen}=\frac{6.19moles}{0.558moles}=11.09\approx 11

\text{Mole Ratio of oxygen}=\frac{0.558moles}{0.558moles}=1

\text{Mole Ratio of bromine}=\frac{0.558moles}{0.558moles}=1

The mole ratio of each element is written in the subscript of each element in the empirical formula.

Empirical Formula : C_6H_{11}OBr

Answer:

Geothermal energy is heat derived within the sub-surface of the earth. Water and/or steam carry the geothermal energy to the Earth's surface. Depending on its characteristics, geothermal energy can be used for heating and cooling purposes or be harnessed to generate clean electricity.

A teacher performs a flame test lab experiment for various compounds. During the lab, the teacher mislabels one of the solutions
nexus9112 [7]

Answer: By performing the flame test

Explanation:

The flame test can be performed by the teacher to visually identify the substance in the solution. The metals give a characteristic color on burning. The heat of the flame causes the excitation of the electrons present in the metal ions this leads to release of energy along with the emission of visible wavelength of light. This visible light can be observed by human eye. For example, the copper produces the blue color in flame, barium gives green flame, and sodium gives yellow flame.

Hello!

My argument: Which is better a Ps4 or an Xbox 1


The Ps4 is a better all-round console. The PS4 costs $100 less but has less games than the Xbox 1. The Xbox 1 now came up with dual compatible games. This means that certain games can now run on the Xbox 1 and the Xbox 360. The overall winner is really undetermined. The controller for Xbox has more quicker response time and is specifically built to be an extremely comfortable in your hands. Unlike the PS4 which their controller is built for nothing they really didn't do anything to theirs. Although the console comparisons are the same. The hard drive for the Xbox is non- removable meaning that if you want the hard drive. you would have to break the Xbox to get it . Unlike the Ps4 when you can take it out easily and switch it with any console and still have your data. I am an Xbox fan since for ever but I think that the two consoles are built the same.


Hope it helps!
