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}

Brainliest! a. Write a short historical account of the discovery of the Avogadro’s number.
kvv77 [185]

Answer:

a. Amadeo Avogadro (1776-1856) was the author of Avogadro's Hypothesis in 1811, which, together with Gay-Lussac's Law of Combining Volumes, was used by Stanislao Cannizzaro to elegantly remove all doubt about the establishment of the atomic weight scale at the Karlsruhe Conference of 1860.  The name "Avogadro's Number" is just an honorary name attached to the calculated value of the number of atoms, molecules, etc. in a gram mole of any chemical substance. Of course if we used some other mass unit for the mole such as "pound mole", the "number" would be different than 6.022 x 1023.

b. The first person to have calculated the number of molecules in any mass of substance was Josef Loschmidt, (1821-1895), an Austrian high school teacher, who in 1865, using the new Kinetic Molecular Theory (KMT) calculated the number of molecules in one cubic centimeter of gaseous substance under ordinary conditions of temperature of pressure, to be somewhere around 2.6 x 1019 molecules. This is usually known as "Loschmidt's Constant.

Task 2

a.

Percent composition is the percent by mass of each element present in a compound. Water, H2O, is the first example. One mole of water is 18.0152 grams. In that compound, there are two moles of H atoms and 2 x 1.008 = 2.016 grams. That's how many grams of hydrogen are present in one mole of water. this is an example. i don't know what you are describing though. i need more info for this question

b. 6.022 to 6.023 x 10^23

c. i don't know what this one is since there is nothing to describe the unknown liquid.

d. Yes a killer, but not a specific person

Which statement describes the particles of an ideal gas based on the kinetic molecular theory?
Zielflug [23.3K]

Answer:

Well ads I remember, the motion of the gas particles is random and in a straight-line. A sample of gas is contained in a closed rigid cylinder.

And here is what I found too -

According to Kinetic Molecular Theory, gaseous particles are in a state of constant random motion; individual particles move at different speeds, constantly colliding and changing directions. We use velocity to describe the movement of gas particles, thereby taking into account both speed and direction.
