Answer is: <span>molecular formula of retinol is C</span>₂₀H₃₀O.
n(C) = 83,84 g ÷ 12 g/mol.
n(C) = 6,99 mol.
n(H) = 10,58 ÷ 1,008 g/mol.
n(H) = 10,5 mol.
n(O) = 5,58 g ÷ 16 g/mol.
n(O) = 0,348 mol.
n(C) : n(H) : n(O) = 6,99 mol : 10,5 mol : 0,348 mol /:0,348.
n(C) : n(H) : n(O) = 20 mol : 30,1 mol : 1.

vlabodo [156]

Answer: (1.5 M) V1 = (3.40 M) (500mL)

(multiply 3.40M x 500mL) V1 = 1700 mL

PLEASE help — I’m failing!

ANEK [815]

Answer:

$[H _{3}O {}^{ + } ] = 4.23 \times {10}^{ - 3} M$

$[OH {}^{ - } ] = \frac{kw}{[H {}^{ + } ]} \\ [OH {}^{ - } ] = \frac{1 \times {10}^{ - 14} }{4.23 \times {10}^{ - 3} } \\ [OH {}^{ - } ] = 2.36 \times {10}^{ - 12} M$

$pH = - log[H {}^{ + } ] \\ pH = - log(4.23 \times {10}^{ - 3} ) \\ pH = 2.37$

$pOH = - log[OH {}^{ - } ] \\ = - log(2.36 \times {10}^{ - 12} ) \\ = 11.63$
