Chemistry
1 answer:

61g/mol

Explanation:

The empirical formula of compound is its simplest formula. It shows the simplest ratio by which the atoms are combined.

  In the formula   C₄H₁₀O₄

 we have:

        4 moles of carbon     10 moles of hydrogen    4 moles of Oxygen;

                 4 : 10 : 4

The simplest ratio can be obtained by dividing through by the highest common factor which is 2;

              4/2   10/2    4/2

               2       5        2

the empirical formula is C₂H₅O₂

The formula mass is the sum of the atomic weights;

   C₂H₅O₂ = (2 x 12) + (5x1) + (2x 16) = 24 + 5 + 32 = 61g/mol

The cylinder of aluminum in class was approximately 13mm in circumference and 42mm in length. What would be it's approximate mas
Roman55 [17]

Answer:

Mass, m = 1.51 grams

Explanation:

It is given that,

The circumference of Aluminium cylinder, C = 13 mm = 1.3 cm

Length of the cylinder, h = 4.2 cm

We know that the density of the Aluminium is 2.7 g/cm³

Circumference, C = 2πr

r=\dfrac{C}{2\pi}\\\\r=\dfrac{1.3}{2\pi}\\\\r=0.206\ cm

Density is equal to mass per unit volume.

d=\dfrac{m}{V}

m is mass of the cylinder

V is the volume of the cylinder

V=\pi r^2h\\\\V=\dfrac{22}{7}\times0.206^2\times 4.2\\\\V=0.5601\ cm^3

So,

m=d\times V\\\\m=2.7\times 0.5601\\\\m=1.51\ g

So, the mass of the cylinder is 1.51 grams.

What happens to a glass of sugar solution when sugar is added to it?
galina1969 [7]

Answer:

The molarity of the solution increases.

Explanation:

Molarity is the measure of the concentration of the solute in the solution. In this case, the solvent is the sugar solution and the solute is the sugar.

If sugar is ADDED to the already sugary solution, then there would be more sugar. Therefore, the sugar (solute) would increase in number.

This means that the answer is the third choice: The molarity of the solution increases.

The answer would not be the first or second choice because there isn't anything in the question that implies water. It just says sugar solution.

The answer is not the last choice because the sugar concentration does not decrease after you have added more sugar to it. It increases.

Distinguish between a solution in general and an aqueous solution
Sveta_85 [38]

Answer:

  • What distinguish a solution in general from an aqueous solution is the solvent. A solution in general may contain any solvent, which may be solid, liquid or gas, while an aqueous solution is formed with water as solvent.

Explanation:

A solution in general is a homogeneous mixture in which a substance, named solute, is dissolved, in other substance, name solvent.

Solutions may be in solid, liquid or gas state. There are many kind of solvents. Usually, in a lab you work with liquid solutions. Some liquid solvents are: ethanol, glycerin, hexane, benzene, and water, among many others.

Aqueous solution is a solution where the solvent is water. Of course, the solute may be any one: NaCl, sugar, ethanol, an acid, a base, a salt.

What distinguish a solution in general and an aqueous solution is the solvent.
