The empirical formula gives the simplest ratio of whole numbers of components in the compound. Molecular formula gives the actual composition of elements in the compound.
empirical formula - CH₂O
Mass of one empirical unit = 12 + (1x2) + 16 = 30 a.m.u
We have to next calculate how many empirical units make up the molecular formula. For that we have to divide molecular mass by mass of one empirical unit.
Number of empirical units = 180 a.m.u / 30 = 6
There are 6 empirical units 
Therefore molecular formula = 6 x(CH₂O) = C₆H₁₂O₆
Molecular formula = C₆H₁₂O₆

What is the molarity of the potassium hydroxide if 25.25 mL of KOH is required to neutralize 0.500 g of oxalic acid, H2C2O4? H2C
Greeley [361]

Answer:

0.444 mol/L

Explanation:

First step is to find the number of moles of oxalic acid.

n(oxalic acid) = \frac{0.5g}{90.03 g/mol} = 5.5537*10^{-3} mol\\

Now use the molar ratio to find how many moles of NaOH would be required to neutralize 5.5537*10^{-3} mol\\ of oxalic acid.

n(oxalic acid): n(potassium hydroxide)

         1           :            2                  (we get this from the balanced equation)

5.5537*10^{-3} mol\\ : x

x = 0.0111 mol

Now to calculate what concentration of KOH that would be in 25 mL of water:

c = \frac{number of moles}{volume} = \frac{0.0111}{0.025} = 0.444 mol/L

Answer:

126.8, Iodine

Explanation:

  • mass ×abundance/100
  • (126.9045×80.45/100)+(126.0015×17.23/100)+(128.2230×2.23/100)
  • 102.1+21.7+3=126.8

<em>IODINE</em><em> </em><em>has</em><em> </em><em>an</em><em> </em><em>atomic</em><em> </em><em>mass</em><em> </em><em>of</em><em> </em>126.8 or 126.9

Soloha48 [4]

9 moles of reactants chemically change into 11 moles of product.

Explanation:

In the reaction above, 9 moles of reactants chemically change into 11 mole of products. The coefficients in a reaction is the number of moles of the reacting atoms .

  • For example 8O₂ depicts 8 moles of two oxygen atoms.
  • The number of moles  is a unit for quantifying particles.
  • You can liken it to a dozen, gross or a score.
  • Since a mole of a substance contains avogadro number of particles. We can relate the number of moles to other parameters.
