An alkanol contains 37.5 carbon

Chemistry
1 answer:
kow [346]4 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

In which type of condition is a conditions is a landslide most likely to occur
masha68 [24]

Answer:

<u>B. In a wet, hilly area</u>

Explanation:

We know that for a landslide to happen, there has to be a down hill slope so it can fall.

This eliminates answers C, D and E.

So we are left with A and B

Now we can look at this in a real life scenario. If you have ever walking on wet ground, you will know that is weaker than dry ground. Knowing this, we know the answer will have to be answer B.
