The empirical formula for the caproic acid, given the combustion analysis data is C₃H₆O
We'll begin bey obtaining the mass of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen in the compound. This is illustrated below:
How to determine the mass of C
- Mass of CO₂ = 9.78 g
- Molar mass of CO₂ = 44 g/mol
- Molar of C = 12 g/mol
- Mass of C =?
Mass of C = (12 / 44) × 9.78
Mass of C = 2.67 g
How to determine the mass of H
- Mass of H₂O = 20.99 g
- Molar mass of H₂O = 18 g/mol
- Molar of H = 2 × 1 = 2 g/mol
- Mass of H =?
Mass of H = (2 / 18) × 4
Mass of H = 0.44 g
How to determine the mass of O
- Mass of compound = 4.30 g
- Mass of C = 2.67 g
- Mass of H = 0.44 g
- Mass of O =?
Mass of O = (mass of compound) – (mass of C + mass of H)
Mass of O = 4.30 – (2.67 + 0.44)
Mass of O = 1.19 g
<h3>How to determine the empirical formula </h3>
The empirical formula of the compound can be obtained as follow:
- C = 2.67 g
- H = 0.44 g
- O = 1.19 g
- Empirical formula =?
Divide by their molar mass
C = 2.67 / 12 = 0.2225
H = 0.44 / 1 = 0.44
O = 1.19 / 16 = 0.074
Divide by the smallest
C = 0.2225 / 0.074 = 3
H = 0.44 / 0.0744 = 6
O = 0.074 / 0.074 = 1
Thus, the empirical formula of the compound is C₃H₆O

The Lithosphere ("rock sphere") is the ground you are standing on and the whole inside of Earth.
The Hydrosphere ("water sphere") includes all of the rivers, lakes and oceans of Earth.
The Cryosphere ("icy cold sphere") is the frozen part of Earth: the glaciers, icebergs at sea, and the huge icecaps in Greenland and Antarctica.
The Biosphere ("Life sphere") includes all living things: the trees in the park, the birds in the air, the fly on your wall, the viruses that make you sick, your pets, and even you and all your friends!
The Atmosphere ("Air Sphere") is the envelope of air that surrounds the whole Earth.
The Exo- or Celestial Sphere ("Outside or heavenly sphere") includes the whole universe beyond the top of the atmosphere--the Sun, Moon, and stars, as well as the asteroids and the little bits of dust that make meteors when they hit the atmosphere.
Answer:
1.62 × 10²⁴ atoms are in 52.3 g of lithium hypochlorite.
Explanation:
To find the amount of atoms that are in 52.3 g of lithium hypochlorite, we must first find the amount of moles. We do this by dividing by the molar mass of lithium hypochlorite.
52.3 g ÷ 58.4 g/mol = 0.896 mol
Next we must find the amount of formula units, we do this be multiplying by Avagadro's number.
0.896 mol × 6.02 × 10²³ = 5.39 × 10²³ f.u.
Now to get the amount of atoms we can multiply the amount of formula units by the amout of atoms in one formula unit.
5.39 × 10²³ f.u. × 3 atom/f.u. = 1.62 × 10²⁴ atoms
1.62 × 10²⁴ atoms are in 52.3 g of lithium hypochlorite.
Answer:
D
Explanation:
We have to bear in mind that the acid is a weak acid. A weak acid does not dissociate completely in solution. We will have more concentration of undissociated acid than A^- and H3O^+ and OH^- in the system at equilibrium.
Being a weak acid, there is maximum concentration of water molecules followed by that of undissiociated acid.
Hence, for this solution, the concentration of ions in solution follows the order;
[H2O] > [HA] > [A-] ~ [H3O ] > [OH-]
