<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

Given the equation Ca + H2O --&gt; Ca(OH)2 + H2 how many grams of calcium will react completely with 10.0 grams of water? *
Yuki888 [10]

Answer: 11.0 g of calcium will react with 10.0 grams of water.

Explanation:

To calculate the moles, we use the equation:

\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text {Molar mass}}

moles of H_2O

\text{Number of moles}=\frac{10.0g}{18g/mol}=0.55moles

The balanced chemical equation is:

Ca+2H_2O\rightarrow Ca(OH)_2+H_2

According to stoichiometry :

2 moles of H_2O require = 1 mole of Ca

Thus 0.55 moles of H_2O require=\frac{1}{2}\times 0.55=0.275moles  of Ca  

Mass of Ca=moles\times {\text {Molar mass}}=0.275moles\times 40g/mol=11g

Thus 11.0 g of calcium will react with 10.0 grams of water.

Which of the following statements about benzene is true? Multiple Choice
fenix001 [56]

Answer: option a and d

Explanation:

Option A- Benzene undergoes substitution reaction

Example : benzene reacts with chlorine to form chlorobenzene, in the presence of Iron

(iii) chloride as a catalyst

C6H6 + Cl2 ---> C6H5Cl + HCl

Option D- Benzene also undergoes addition reaction

Example: benzene reacts with hydrogen , in the presence of nickel as a catalyst to form

cyclohexane

C6H6 + 3H2 ---> C6H12

Reasons why Option B isn't the answer

Although benzeme has degree of unsaturation but it's not five degree of unsaturation.

Benzene has 6 carbon atoms and 4 degrees of unsaturation (1 ring and 3 double

bonds).

If you work backwards and double the degrees of unsaturation you have 8 degrees of

unsaturation instead of 5.

Option C - Benzene isn't a saturated hydrocarbon

what is the ratio of the rate of effusion of helium (atomic mass 4.00 amu) to that of oxygen gas (molecular mass 32.0 amu)?
nignag [31]

Answer:

3 : 1

Explanation:

Let the rate of He be R1

Molar Mass of He (M1) = 4g/mol

Let the rate of O2 be R2

Molar Mass of O2 (M2) = 32g/mol

Recall:

R1/R2 = √(M2/M1)

R1/R2 = √(32/4)

R1/R2 = √8

R1/R2 = 3

The ratio of rate of effusion of Helium to oxygen is 3 : 1

The energy of a pendulum is recorded at different positions in the table below. Use the data in the table to determine the amoun
natta225 [31]

Answer:

36.55 J

Explanation:

PE = Potential energy

KE = Kinetic energy

TE = Total energy

The following data were obtained from the question:

Position >> PE >>>>> KE >>>>>> TE

1 >>>>>>>> 72.26 >> 27.74 >>>> 100

2 >>>>>>>> 63.45 >> x >>>>>>>> 100

3 >>>>>>>> 58.09 >> 41.91 >>>>> 100

The kinetic energy of the pendulum at position 2 can be obtained as follow:

From the table above, at position 2,

Potential energy (PE) = 63.45 J

Kinetic energy (KE) = unknown = x

Total energy (TE) = 100 J

TE = PE + KE

100 = 63.45 + x

Collect like terms

100 – 63.45 = x

x = 36.55 J

Thus, the kinetic energy of the pendulum at position 2 is 36.55 J.
