Answer:

Empirical formula is CH₂O.

Molecular formula = C₆H₁₂O₆

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of hydrogen = 3.36 g

Mass of carbon = 20.00 g

Mass of oxygen = 26.64 g

Molar mass of compound = 180.156 g/mol

Empirical formula = ?

Molecular formula = ?

Solution:

Empirical formula:

It is the simplest formula gives the ratio of atoms of different elements in small whole number

Number of gram atoms of H = 3.36 / 1.01 = 3.3

Number of gram atoms of O = 26.64 / 16 = 1.7

Number of gram atoms of C = 20 / 12 = 1.7

Atomic ratio:

            C                      :        H            :         O

           1.7/1.7                :     3.3/1.7       :       1.7/1.7

              1                     :           2          :        1

C : H : O = 1 : 2 : 1

Empirical formula is CH₂O.

Molecular formula:

Molecular formula = n (empirical formula)

n = molar mass of compound / empirical formula mass

Empirical formula mass = CH₂O = 12×1 + 2× + 16

Empirical formula mass = 30

n = 180.156 / 30

n = 6

Molecular formula = n (empirical formula)

Molecular formula = 6 (CH₂O)

Molecular formula = C₆H₁₂O₆

The half-life of 131I is 80 days. How much of a 500.0 mg sample remains after 3 half lives?
I am Lyosha [343]

Answer:

62.5 mg

Explanation:

Just multiply the original amount by  1/2   three times:

500 mg  x  1/2  x  1/2  x  1/2 = 62.5 mg

Match the name of each gas law to the properties it compares. 1. Gay-Lussac's law 2. Boyle's law 3. Avogadro's law a. Volume and
oee [108]

Answer:

1. C    2. B     3.  A

Explanation:

1. Gay- Lussac law, states that as along as the volume is kept constant, the      pressure of a fixed mass of gas is directly proportional to the temperature.

The properties it compares is; (c.) Pressure and temperature

2.  Boyle's Law states that; as long as the temperature is kept constant, the volume of a fixed mass of gas is inversely proportional to the pressure.

It therefore compares; (b.) Pressure and volume

3. Avogadro's Law states that equal volumes of different gases contain the same number of molecules provided the temperature and pressure are the same.

It therefore compares;  (a.) Volume and moles

1. Which variable is the independent variable and which is the dependent variable? Density vs. ethylene glycol
AnnyKZ [126]
<span>1. Which variable is the independent variable and which is the dependent variable? Density vs. ethylene glycol
The independent variable would be ethylene glycol and dependent variable would be density.

A. A 25-mL volumetric flask with its stopper has a mass of 32.6341 g. The same flask filled to the line with ethylene glycol (C2H6O2, automotive antifreeze) solution has a mass of 58.0091 g. What is the density of the ethylene glycol solution?

Density = 58.0091 - 32.6341 / .025 = 1015 g/L

B. What is the molarity of the ethylene glycol solution, if the mass of ethylene glycol in the solution is 12.0439 g?

Molarity = 12.0439 ( 1 mol / 62.07 g) / 0.025 = 7.8 M</span>
