The empirical formula is the same as the molecular formula : C₁₀H₅O₂
<h3>Further explanation</h3>
Given
Molecular formula : C₁₀H₅O₂
Required
The empirical formula
Solution
The empirical formula (EF) is the smallest comparison of atoms of compound forming elements.
The molecular formula (MF) is a formula that shows the number of atomic elements that make up a compound.
(empirical formula) n = molecular formula
<em>(EF)n=MF
</em>
(EF)n = C₁₀H₅O₂
If we divide by the number of moles of Oxygen (the smallest) which is 2 then the moles of Hydrogen will be a decimal number (not whole), which is 2.5, then the empirical formula is the same as the molecular formula
I think that the empirical formula is mgcl2
If two objects have the same mass, the object with the higher temperature has greater thermal energy.
Answer:
Scientific Law
Explanation: Earth will ALWAYS attract objects to the center of itself because of gravity. This will never be disproven.
Answer:
a) 0.525 mol
b) 0.525 mol
c) 0.236 mol
Explanation:
The combustion reactions (partial and total) will be:
C₇H₁₆ + (15/2)O₂ → 7CO + 8H₂O
C₇H₁₆ + 11O₂ → 7CO₂ + 8H₂O
---------------------------------------------------
2C₇H₁₆ + (37/2)O₂ → 7CO + 7CO₂ + 16H₂O
It means that the reaction will form 50% of each gas.
a) 0.525 mol of CO
b) 0.525 mol of CO₂
c) The molar mass of heptane is: 7*12 g/mol of C + 16*1 g/mol of H = 100 g/mol
So, the number of moles is the mass divided by the molar mass:
n = 11.5/100 = 0.115 mol
For the stoichiometry:
2 mol of C₇H₁₆ -------------- (37/2) mol of O₂
0.115 mol of C₇H₁₆ --------- x
By a simple direct three rule:
2x = 2.1275
x = 1.064 mol of O₂
Which is the moles of oxygen that reacts, so are leftover:
1.3 - 1.064 = 0.236 mol of O₂
