Answer:

=C_3H_4O_3

Explanation:

When percentage composition is given, and asked for the empirical formula, it is simplest to  assume 100 g of material. Thus,

Mass C = 40.92 g.  Moles C = 40.92 g x 1 mole/12 g = 3.41 moles C

Mass H = 4.58 g.  Moles H = 4.58 g x 1 mole/1.0 g = 4.58 moles H

Mass O = 54.50 g.  Moles O = 54.50 g x 1 mole/16 g = 3.41 moles O

Now, we want to get the moles into whole numbers, so we begin by dividing all by the smallest, i.e. divide all values by 3.41.

Moles C = 3.41/3.41 = 1

Moles H = 4.58/3.41 = 1.34

Moles O = 3.41/3.41 = 1

Now, in order to get 1.34 to be a whole number we multiply it (and all others) by 3

Moles C = 1x3 = 3

Moles H = 1.34x3 = 4

Moles O = 1x3 = 3

Empirical Formula =C_3H_4O_3

Calculate the maximum volume (in mL) of 0.143 M HCl that each of the following antacid formulations would be expected to neutral
Nuetrik [128]

Answer:

a. The maximum volume of 0.143 M HCl required is 154.4 mL.

b. The maximum volume of 0.143 M HCl required is 135.7 mL.

Explanation:

a.

Al(OH)_3+3HCl\rightarrow AlCl_3+3H_2O

Mass of aluminum hydroxide = 350 mg =  0.350 g ( 1mg = 0.001 g)

Moles of aluminum hydroxide = \frac{0.350 g}{78 g/mol}=0.004487 mol

According to reaction ,3 moles of HCl neutralize 1 mole of aluminum hydroxide.Then 0.004487 mole of aluminum hydroxide will be neutralize by :

\frac{3}{1}\times 0.004487 mol=0.01346 mol of HCl.

Mg(OH)_2+2HCl\rightarrow MgCL_2+2H_2O

Mass of magnesium hydroxide = 250 mg =  0.250 g ( 1mg = 0.001 g)

Moles of magnesium hydroxide = \frac{0.250 g}{58 g/mol}=0.004310 mol

According to reaction ,2 moles of HCl neutralize 1 mole of magnesium hydroxide.Then 0.004310  mole of magnesium hydroxide will be neutralize by :

\frac{2}{1}\times 0.004310 mol=0.008621 mol of HCl.

Total moles of HCl required to neutralize both :

0.01346 mol + 0.008621 mol = 0.02208 mol

Molarity of the HCL solution = 0.143 M

Volume of the solution = V

Molarity=\frac{\text{Total moles of HCl}{\text{Volume in Liter}}

V=\frac{0.02208 mol}{0.143 M}=0.1544 L

1 L = 1000 mL

0.1544 L = 154.4 mL

The maximum volume of 0.143 M HCl required is 154.4 mL.

b.

CaCO_3+2HCl\rightarrow CaCl_2+H_2O+CO_2

Mass of calcium carbonate = 970mg =  0.970 g ( 1mg = 0.001 g)

Moles of calcium carbonate = \frac{0.970 g}{100 g/mol}=0.00970 mol

According to reaction ,2 moles of HCl neutralize 1 mole of calcium carbonate.Then 0.00970 mole of calcium carbonate will be neutralize by :

\frac{2}{1}\times 0.00970 mol=0.0194 mol of HCl.

Total moles of HCl required to neutralize calcium carbonate : 0.0194 mol

Molarity of the HCL solution = 0.143 M

Volume of the solution = V

Molarity=\frac{\text{Total moles of HCl}}{\text{Volume in Liter}}

V=\frac{0.0194 mol}{0.143 M}=0.1357 L

1 L = 1000 mL

0.1357 L = 135.7 mL

The maximum volume of 0.143 M HCl required is 135.7 mL.

Round the mmHg readings to the nearest whole number. Round the kPa readings to the nearest tenth. Round the atm readings to the
denpristay [2]

The pressure of 2.29 atm  can be converted to 1740.4 mm Hg.

<h3>What is conversation?</h3>

Conversation is a way of writing a value in another unit, it helps to reduce large values by using a unit.

It should be noted that 1 atm. =760.0 mm Hg

We were given 2.29 atm, the we can convert it to  mm Hg. as;

[ 2.29 atm* 760.0 mmHg / atm.]

= 1740.4 mm Hg.

Therefore, The pressure of 2.29 atm  can be converted to 1740.4 mm Hg.
