Answer:

Empirical formula - C_{7}H_{8}

Explanation:

From the given,

Mass of CO_{2} = 6.45 mg= 0.00645 g

Molar mass of carbon = 12 g/mol

Molar mass of CO_{2} = 44 g/mol

Given mass of H_{2}O = 1.51 mg= 0.00151 g

Molar mass of water = 18 g/mol

Molar mass of hydrogen = 1.0 g/mol

0.00645\times \frac{1molCO_{2}}{44gCO_{2}}\times \frac{1mol\,C}{1mol\,CO_{2}}= 1

0.00151\times \frac{1molH_{2}O}{44gH_{2}O}\times \frac{2mol\,H}{1mol\,H_{2}O}= 1.4

1:1.4

Those two values are multiplied by two.(molar ratio -7)

1:1.4\times 7= 7:8

Therefore, empirical formula - C_{7}H_{8}

What is the correct way to show carbon dioxide in the gas phase?
Gnoma [55]
The correct way of showing carbon dioxide in the gas phase is b. CO2 (g)

This notation is commonly used in showing chemical reactions wherein the phases of the constituents are important. Gases are denoted by (g), solids are denoted by (s), and liquids are denoted by (l). Aqueous solutions are also denoted (aq).

Write an equation to show how HC2O4− can act as a base with HS− acting as an acid.
Artyom0805 [142]

An acid donates H^{+} ion in aqueous solution. A base accepts H^{+} ion in aqueous solution.

The equation representing the acid base reaction of HC_{2}O_{4}^{-} and HS^{-}:

HC_{2}O_{4}^{-}(aq) + HS^{-}(aq) ----> H_{2}C_{2}O_{4}(aq)+S^{2-}(aq)

In the above reaction, as HC_{2}O_{4}^{-} acts as a base it is accepting the hydrogen ion from HS^{-}. Similarly, HS^{-} donates its hydrogen ion to HC_{2}O_{4}^{-} acting as an acid.

What trend does the first ionization energy follow going across the periodic table?
djyliett [7]

Explanation:

Ionization energy is defined as the energy necessary to remove an electron from a gaseous atom or ion.

Therefore, smaller is the size of an atom or ion more energy it needs to remove an electron because more is the charge on an ion smaller will be its size.

Hence, more will be the attraction between nucleus and valence electrons of the atom. So, more difficulty is faced by the atom to lose an electron. As a result, ionization energy will increase.

Across the period, there will be decrease in size of elements of the periodic table.

Thus, we can conclude that there will be increase in first ionization energy across the periodic table.

How many liters of a 3 M NaOH stock solution would you need to make 552 mL of a 105 mM NaOH dilution
Ganezh [65]

Answer:

0.01932 L

Explanation:

First we <u>convert 105 mM to M</u>:

  • 105 mM / 1000 = 0.105 M

Next we <u>convert 552 mL to L</u>:

  • 552 mL / 1000 = 0.552 L

Then we use the following equation:

  • C₁V₁=C₂V₂

Where:

  • C₁ = 3 M
  • V₁ = ?
  • C₂ = 0.105 M
  • V₂ = 0.552 L

We<u> input the given data</u>:

  • 3 M * V₁ = 0.105 M * 0.552 L

And <u>solve for V₁</u>:

  • V₁ = 0.01932 L
