3 0

Answer:

The empirical formula of the organic compound is  = C_2H_6S_1

Explanation:

At STP, 1 mole of gas occupies 22.4 L of volume.

Moles of CO_2 gas at STP occupying 2.0 L = n

n\times 22.4L=2.0L

n=\frac{2.0 L}{22.4 L}=0.08929 mol

Moles of carbon in 0.08920 mol = 1 × 0.08920 mol = 0.08920 mol

Moles of H_2O gas at STP occupying 3.0 L = n'

n'\times 22.4L=3.0L

n'=\frac{3.0 L}{22.4 L}=0.1339 mol

Moles of hydrogen in 0.1339 moles of water vapor = 2 × 0.1339 mol = 0.2678 mol

Moles of SO_2 gas at STP occupying 1.0 L = n''

n''\times 22.4L=1.0L

n''=\frac{1.0 L}{22.4 L}=0.04464 mol

Moles of sulfur in 0.04464 mol = 1 × 0.04464 mol = 0.04464 mol

Moles of carbon , hydrogen and sulfur constituent of that organic compound .

Moles of carbon in 0.08920 mol = 1 × 0.08920 mol = 0.08920 mol

Moles of hydrogen in 0.1339 moles of water vapor = 2 × 0.1339 mol = 0.2678 mol

Moles of sulfur in 0.04464 mol = 1 × 0.04464 mol = 0.04464 mol

For empirical; formula divide the least number of moles from all the moles of elements.

carbon = \frac{0.08920 mol}{0.04464 mol}=2

Hydrogen =  \frac{0.2678 mol}{0.04464 mol}=6

Sulfur = \frac{0.04464 mol}{0.04464 mol}=1

The empirical formula of the organic compound is  = C_2H_6S_1

Two students are working together to build two models. Both models will represent the molecular structure of sodium bicarbonate,
vfiekz [6]

Answer:

Altogether for both models; two red jellybeans, two white jellybeans, two black jellybeans and six blue jellybeans.

<em>Note: Since no specific color was stated for oxygen atoms, the answer assigns blue colored jellybeans to represent oxygen atoms.J</em>

Explanation:

Sodium bicarbonate, NaHCO₃ is a compound composed of one atom of sodium, one atom of hydrogen, one atom of carbon and three atoms of oxygen.

Since red jellybeans represent sodium atoms, white jellybeans represent hydrogen atoms, black jellybeans represent carbon atoms and blue jellybeans represent oxygen atoms, each of the two students will require the following number of each jellybean for their model of sodium carbonate: One red jellybean, one white jellybean, one black jellybean and three blue jellybeans.

Altogether for both models; two red jellybeans, two white jellybeans, two black jellybeans and six blue jellybeans.

How can indicator be used to determine if a solution is an acid or base
dalvyx [7]

Answer:

To tell if something is an acid or a base, you can use a chemical called an indicator. An indicator changes color when it encounters an acid or base. There are many different types of indicators, some that are liquids and others that are concentrated on little strips of "litmus" paper.

The formation of a gaseous product is usually indicated by a/an______________ in a chemical reaction.
Harman [31]

Answer: The formation of a gaseous product is indicated by an UPWARD ARROW in a chemical reaction.

Explanation:

A chemical reaction is defined as the process whereby chemical bonds between atoms of

substances known as reactants are either formed or broken leading to the formation of products. New substances are usually formed during a chemical reaction. The following are features of chemical reaction:

--> Evolution of gas

--> Formation of a precipitate

--> Change in color

--> Change in temperature

--> Change in state and

--> Formation of new substances.

Some chemical reactions takes place with the evolution of gas. This can be seen in the reaction of Zinc metal with hydrochloric acid. Hydrogen gas is EVOLVED with the formation of zinc chloride.

UPWARD ARROW in a chemical reaction indicates the evolution of a gas. It appears only on the product side and is written next to the gaseous product.

7. A movable piston is allowed to cool from 392°F to 104°F. If the initial volume is 105 mL,
-BARSIC- [3]

Answer:

27.9 mL

Explanation:

To find the new volume, you need to use the Charles' Law equation:

V₁ / T₁ = V₂ / T₂

In this equation, "V₁" and "T₁" represent the initial volume and temperature. "V₂" and "T₂" represent the final volume and temperature.

V₁ = 105 mL                     V₂ = ? mL

T₁ = 392 °F                       T₂ = 104 °F

V₁ / T₁ = V₂ / T₂                                            <----- Charles' Law

105 mL / 392 °F = V₂ / 104 °F                     <----- Insert values

0.26785 = V₂ / 104 °F                                 <----- Simplify left side

27.9 = V₂                                                     <----- Multiply both sides by 104

Istinguish between ionic and molecular compounds in terms of the basic
Murrr4er [49]

Answer:

In molecular compound atoms are held together through covalent bond. It is formed between the non metals.

In ionic compounds positive and negative ions held together through electrostatic attraction. It is formed between metal and non metal.

Explanation:

Ionic compound:

In ionic compounds positive and negative ions held together through electrostatic attraction. It is formed between metal and non metal.

For example:

Sodium chloride is ionic compound. Te sodium metal lose it electron and this electron is accept by the chlorine atom. Sodium became positive ion while chlorine became negative ion. The forces develop between them are electrostatic forces.

Molecular compound:

In molecular compound atoms are held together through covalent bond. It is formed between the non metals.

For example:

Carbon dioxide is molecular compound. It is made up of carbon and oxygen atoms. Both atoms share the electrons with each other and form two double bond O=C=O.
