The complete question is;
Calculate the empirical formula for each of the following naturalflavors based on their elemental mass percent composition.
Q1)
methyl butyrate (component of apple taste andsmell): C -58.80 % H- 9.87 %
O -31.33.%Express your answer as a chemical formula.
Q2)
vanillin (responsible for the taste and smellof vanilla): C - 63.15% H- 5.30 %
O - 31.55%Express your answer as a chemical formula.
Q1)
empirical formula is the simplest ratio of whole number of elements in the compound. as the percentages have been given, lets calculate for 100 g of compound
C H O
mass 58.80 g 9.87 g 31.33
molar mass 12 g/mol 1 g/mol 16 g/mol
number of moles 58.80/12 9.87/1 31.33/16
= 4.9 =9.87 = 1.95
then divide number of moles by least number of moles - 1.95 in this case
4.9/1.95 = 2.51 9.87/1.95 = 5.06 1.95/1.95= 1
next multiply by 2 to get numbers that can be rounded off to whole numbers
2.51x2 = 5.02 5.06x2 = 10.12 1x2 = 2
when rounded off to the nearest whole number
C - 5
H - 10
O - 2
therefore empirical formula is C₅H₁₀O₂
Q2) for this too since elemental composition has been given in percentages lets calculate for 100 g of compound
C H O
mass 63.15 g 5.30 g 31.55 g
molar mass 12 g/mol 1 g/mol 16 g/mol
number of moles 63.15/12 5.30/1 31.55/16
=5.26 =5.30 =1.97
divide the number of moles by the least number of moles - 1.97
5.26/1.97 5.30/1.97 1.97/1.97
=2.67 = 2.69 = 1
multiply each by 3 to get numbers that can be rounded off to whole numbers
2.67x3 = 8.01 2.69x3 = 8.07 1x3 = 3
rounded off to the nearest whole numbers
C - 8
H - 8
O - 3
empirical formula = C₈H₈O₃
Answer:
b. some sodium iodide will precipitate out of solution
Explanation:
We know that for salts solubility decreases as the temperature of the solution decreases. So, NaI being a salt, its solubility will surely decrease when the temperature is cooled down to 25°C from 50°C.
Thus,the undissolved sodium iodide will precipitate out of the solution.
Answer:
salt ( with food coloring)
sand
sodium chloride
coffee
flour
oil
vinegar
different types of pancake mix
Answer:
The object with the greatest density
Explanation:
The object that will have the greatest mass from the given choices is the one with greatest density.
Density is the mass per unit volume of a substance;
Density = 
We can see that density is directly proportional to the mass and inversely proportional to the volume.
The more the mass and the lesser the volume, the higher the density.
So, since the volume is the same, and mass is directly proportional to density, the object having the highest density will have the greatest mass.
Explanation:
the answer will be A
The catalyst cannot be at point A since that's the reactant
Pathway B requires more energy, which makes it slower and harder for the reaction to finish
point D is the product
