Determine the empirical formula of a compound containing 47.37 grams of carbon, 10.59 grams of hydrogen, and 42.04 grams of oxyg
inysia [295]

Answer:

Mass of C = 47.37g

Mass of H = 10.59g

Mass of O = 42.04g

The total mass of these elements is 100g, taking a proportion of their molar masses.

C = 47.37/12= 3.95

H = 10.59/1 = 10.59

O = 42.04/16= 2.63.

Dividing through with the smallest proportion which is 2.63

C=3.95/2.63 = 1.5

H =10.59/2.63 =4

O = 2.63/2.63= 1

Multiplying through by 2 to get a whole number.

C = 1.5x2 = 3

H= 4x2 = 8

O = 1x2= 2

The empirical formula is C3H6O2

(Empirical formula)n= molecular mass

(C3H8O2)n =228.276

(12x3 +8+16x2)n= 228.276

76n = 228.276

n = 228.276/76

n = 3

Molecular formula = Empirical formula

=(C3H8O2)3 = C9H24O6

The molecular formula is C9H24O6

The equilibrium constant, Kc, for the following
umka21 [38]

Answer:

2CH2Cl2(g) Doublearrow CH4(g) + CCl4(g)

0.205 moles of CH2Cl2 is introduced. Let by the time an equilibrium is reached x moles each of CH4 and CCl4 are formed => remaining moles of CH2Cl2 are 0.205-x

i.e at equilibrium the concentration on CH2Cl2 is (0.205-2x) mol/L, CH4 is x mol/L, CCl4 is x mol/L

Now the equilibrium constant equation : K = [CH4][CCl4]/[CH2Cl2]^2 ([.] - stands for concentration of the term inside the bracket)

10.5 = x*x/(0.205-2x)^2

=> 10.5(4x^2-0.82x+0.042) = x^2

=>42x^2-8.61x+0.441=x^2

=>41x^2-8.61x+0.441 = 0

This is a Quadratic in x, solving for the roots, we get x = 0.0886 , x = 0.121

The second solution for x will lead 0.205-2x to become negative, so is an infeasible solution.

Therefore equilibrium concentrations of the products and reactants correspond to x=0.0886 and they are , [CH2Cl2] = 0.205-2*0.0886 =0.0278 mol/L , [CH4] = 0.0886 mol/L , [CCl4] = 0.0886 mol/L

A gas absorbs 10J of heat and is simulataneously comptessed by a constant external pressure of 0.5atm from 4L to2L in volume.Wha
Ne4ueva [31]

Answer:

B. 111 J

Explanation:

The change in internal energy is the sum of the heat absorbed and the work done on the system:

ΔU = Q + W

At constant pressure, work is:

W = P ΔV

Given:

P = 0.5 atm = 50662.5 Pa

ΔV = 4 L − 2L = 2 L = 0.002 m³

Plugging in:

W = (50662.5 Pa) (0.002 m³)

W = 101.325 J

Therefore:

ΔU = 10 J + 101.325 J

ΔU = 111.325 J

Rounded to three significant figures, the change in internal energy is 111 J.
