An alkanol contains 37.5 carbon

Chemistry
1 answer:
kow [346]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

Empirical formula is CH₄

Molecular formula = C₂H₈

Explanation:

Mass of carbon = 37.5 g

Mass of hydrogen = 12.5 g

Molecular weight = 32 g/mol

Molecular formula = ?

Empirical formula = ?

Solution:

Number of gram atoms of C = 37.5 g /12g/mol = 3.125

Number of gram atoms of H = 12.5 g / 1.008 g/mol= 12.4

Atomic ratio:

C                 :            H            

3.125/3.125   :       12.4 /3.125

    1                :            4          

C : H : = 1 : 4

Empirical formula is CH₄

Molecular formula:

Molecular formula = n (empirical formula)

n = molar mass of compound / empirical formula mass

n = 32  / 16

n = 2

Molecular formula = n (empirical formula)

Molecular formula = 2 ( CH₄)

Molecular formula = C₂H₈

Why do we need to standardize EDTA in determination of water hardness?​
bonufazy [111]
Standardized means that a specific amount EDTA is added to a specific volume of distilled water. Water hardness is determined by the the amount of a standard EDTA solution to change the color of the water from red to blue. For example if one added the correct amount of EDTA to twice the volume of distilled water the solution would be weak. Titration of the hard water would give a erroneous high result.

A sample of gas in which [h2s] = 3.50 m is heated to 1400 k in a sealed vessel. after chemical equilibrium has been achieved, wh
Bond [772]
The value of Kc for the thermal decomposition of H₂S is 2.2 x 10⁻⁴ at 1400 K:
                        2 H₂S(g) ↔     2 H₂(g) + S₂(g)
initial                  3.5 M               0           0
at equilibrium     3.5 M - 2x       2x          x
Kc             = [S₂][H₂]² / [H₂S]² 
2.2 X 10⁻⁴ = x(2x)² / (3.5 - 2x)²
2.2 x 10⁻⁴ = 4 x³ / (3.5)² Assuming x <<<<< 3.5
x = 0.088
Thus [H₂S] = 3.324 M

joja [24]

Answer: The correct answer is a) Acetylcholine.

Explanation:

The acetylcholine is a very important neurotransmitter involved in the mediation of synaptic activity between neurons. Among its most important functions we find: expression of mood states, vasodilation, gastrointestinal motility, bronchoconstriction, circular iris muscle contraction and sweat gland secretion.

Therefore the correct answer is a) Acetylcholine.
