Answer:

C₆H₆O

Explanation:

The given values are the percentage in mass of each element. Empirical formula is the simplest ratio of atoms presents in a molecule. Thus, the first we need to do is convert this percentage to mass using molar mass of each element:

<em>Moles C:</em>

76.57C * (1mol / 12g) = 6.38 moles C

<em>Moles H:</em>

6.43 * (1mol / 1g) = 6.43 moles H

<em>Moles O:</em>

17.0% * (1mol / 16g) = 1.06 moles O

Dividing each number of moles in the moles of O (The minimum number of moles. Used to obtain "The simplest ratio..."):

C = 6.38 moles C / 1.06 moles O = 6

H = 6.43 moles H / 1.06 moles O = 6

O = 1.06 moles O / 1.06 moles O = 1

That means empirical formula of phenol is:

A mixture of hydrogen (2.02 g) and chlorine (35.90 g) in a container at 300 K has a total gas pressure of 748 mm Hg. What is the
Llana [10]

The partial atmospheric pressure (atm) of hydrogen in the mixture is 0.59 atm.

<h3>How do we calculate the partial pressure of gas?</h3>

Partial pressure of particular gas will be calculated as:

p = nP, where

  • P = total pressure = 748 mmHg
  • n is the mole fraction which can be calculated as:
  • n = moles of gas / total moles of gas

Moles will be calculated as:

  • n = W/M, where
  • W = given mass
  • M = molar mass

Moles of Hydrogen gas = 2.02g / 2.014g/mol = 1 mole

Moles of Chlorine gas = 35.90g / 70.9g/mol = 0.5 mole

Mole fraction of hydrogen = 1 / (1+0.5) = 0.6

Partial pressure of hydrogen = (0.6)(748) = 448.8 mmHg = 0.59 atm

Hence, required partial atmospheric pressure of hydrogen is 0.59 atm.

A solution is made by mixing 55.g of thiophene C4H4S and 65.g of acetyl bromide CH3COBr.
EleoNora [17]

Answer:

Mole fraction of C₄H₄S = 0.55

Explanation:

Mole fraction is moles of solute / Total moles

Total moles are the sum of moles of solute + moles of solvent.

Let's find out the moles of our solute and our solvent.

Mass of solute: 55g

Mass of solvent: 65g

Mol = Mass / molar mass

55 g / 84.06 g/mol = 0.654 moles of C₄H₄S

65 g /123 g/mol = 0.529 moles of C₂H₃BrO

Total moles = 0.654 + 0.529 = 1.183 moles

Mole fraction of thiophene = Moles of tiophene / Total moles

0.654 / 1.183 = 0.55

The graph shows the reaction pathway for the reaction Q + R N + M. Interpret the graph by describing what each of the letters (A
Vladimir [108]

Answer: The reaction is exothermic reaction as the energy of products is less than the energy of reactants.

Explanation: Exothermic reactions are defined as the reactions in which energy of the product is less than the energy of the reactants. The total energy is released in the form of heat and \Delta H for the reaction comes out to be negative.

Labeling of the parts in the diagram:

A represents the activation energy which is the energy required by reactants to cross the energy barrier to get converted to products.

E represents the potential energy of the reactants.

B represents the activated complex.

D represents the potential energy of the products.

C represents the total enthalpy change of the reaction, which comes out to be negative for exothermic reactions.

\Delta H=E_P-E_R
