First, we have to get how many grams of C & H & O in the compound:
- the mass of C on CO2 = mass of CO2*molar mass of C /molar mass of CO2
                                        = 0.5213 * 12 / 44 = 0.142 g
- the mass of H atom on H2O = mass of H2O*molar mass of H / molar mass of H2O
                                                 =0.2835 * 2 / 18 = 0.0315 g
- the mass of O = the total mass - the mass of C atom - the mass of H atom
                          =  0.3 - 0.142 - 0.0315 = 0.1265 g
Convert the mass to mole by divided by molar mass
C(0.142/12) H(0.0315/2) O(0.1265/16) 
C(0.0118) H(0.01575) O(0.0079) by dividing by the smallest value 0.0079
C1.504 H3.99 O1 by rounding to the nearst fraction
C3/2 H4/1 )1/1 multiply by 2 
∴ the emprical formula C3H8O2

In which are the ionic solids ranked in order of increasing melting point?
abruzzese [7]

Answer:A

Explanation:

The melting points of solids depend in the relative sizes of ions in the ionic lattice. The smaller the relative sizes of the ions, the higher the lattice energy and the stronger the lattice hence higher melting point. Comparing relative ionic sizes, fluoride ion is lesser in size than chloride ion hence NaF has a higher melting point than NaCl.

What volumes of 0.200 M HCOOH and 2.00 M NaOH would make 500. mL of a buffer with the same pH as one made from 475 mL of 0.200 M
Fed [463]

<u>36 ml of NaOh and</u><u> 464 ml</u><u> of </u><u>HCOOH</u><u> would be enough to form 500 ml of a buffer with the same pH as the buffer made with </u><u>benzoic acid </u><u>and NaOH.</u>

What is benzoic acid found in?

  • Some natural sources of benzoic acid include: ​Fruits:​ Apricots, prunes, berries, cranberries, peaches, kiwi, bananas, watermelon, pineapple, oranges.
  • ​Spices:​ Cinnamon, cloves, allspice, cayenne pepper, mustard seeds, thyme, turmeric, coriander.

Calculate the amount of moles in NaOH and benzoic acid. This calculation is done by multiplying molarity by volume.

Amount of moles of NaOH -2 × 0.025 =  0.05 mol

Amount of moles of benzoic acid 2 × 0.475 = 0.095 mol

In this case, we can calculate the pH produced by the buffer of these two reagents, as follows

pH = pKa + log\frac{base}{acid}

4.2 + log\frac{0.05}{0.045} = 4.245

We must repeat this calculation, with the values shown for HCOOH and NaOH. In this case, we can calculate as follows

pH = pKa + log\frac{base}{acid}

4.245 = 3.75 + log\frac{base}{acid}

log\frac{base}{acid} = 0.5

\frac{base}{acid} = 3.162

Now we must solve the equation above. This will be done using the following values

\frac{2(0.5 - x)}{0.2x - 2(0.5 - x)} = 0.464 L

With these values, we can calculate the volumes of NaOH and HCOOH needed to make the buffer.

NaOH volume

( 0.5 - 0.464)L

0.036L .................... 36ml

HCOOH volume

500 - 36 = 464mL
