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

devlian [24]

Answer:

Hummingbirds have a very high metabolism and must eat all day long just to survive. They consume about half their body weight in bugs and nectar, feeding every 10-15 minutes and visiting 1,000-2,000 flowers throughout the day.

A charged object (like a balloon that's been rubbed on the wall) cant attract an object with a net neutral charge (neither posit
UNO [17]

Answer: A balloon is charged by a process of frictional charging and the object is getting charged by the process of induction.

Explanation:

When two bodies are rubbed against each other, charging by friction or rubbing occurs. The electropositive object loses electrons to electronegative object. Thus, when balloon is rubbed on a wall, it becomes charged.

The charged balloon is able to attract an uncharged object by inducing charge on it without the two objects touching each other. Electrostatic force acts between two charged objects. Charged balloon causes electrons to move at one end thereby inducing opposite charge in the object and thus, charged balloon is able to attract uncharged object.

Cuantos gramos de hidróxido de calcio se necesitan para preparar 875ml de solución al 2M​
PtichkaEL [24]

Answer:

129,66 g

Explanation:

Desde,

Número de moles = concentración * volumen

concentración = 2 M

volumen = 875 ml

Número de lunares = 2 * 875/1000

Número de lunares = 1,75 moles

Número de moles = masa / masa molar

masa molar de hidróxido de calcio = 74.093 g / mol

1,75 moles = masa / 74,093 g / mol

masa = 1,75 moles * 74,093 g / mol

masa = 129,66 g
