Assume there are 100g of the compound.
Mass of carbon:20.01g
Mass of oxygen:79.99g
Number of mole of carbon:20.01/12=1.6675mol
Number of mole of oxygen:79.99/32=2.4996875mol
Mole ratio between carbon and oxygen:
1.6675/1.6675:2.4996875/1.6675
=1:1.499062969
1x2:1.499062969x2
=2:2.998125937
≈2:3
Hence, the empirical formula:
C2O3

What happens when the concentration of water inside a cell is lower than the concentration of water outside the cell?
adell [148]

Answer:

Water outside the cell will flow inwards by osmosis to attain equilibrium

Explanation:

In the hypotonic environment, the concentration of water is greater outside the cell and the concentration of solute is higher inside. A solution outside of a cell has a lower concentration of solutes relative to the cytosol.

If concentrations of dissolved solutes are greater inside the cell, the concentration of water inside the cell is correspondingly lower. As a result, water outside the cell will flow inwards by osmosis to attain equilibrium.

Osmosis is a process by which molecules of a solvent tend to pass from a less concentrated solution into a more concentrated one through a semipermeable membrane.

The ksp of yttrium fluoride, yf3, is 8.62 × 10-21. calculate the molar solubility of this compound.
motikmotik

Answer:

The molar solubility of YF₃ is 4.23 × 10⁻⁶ M.

Explanation:

In order to calculate the molar solubility of YF₃ we will use an ICE chart. We identify 3 stages: Initial, Change and Equilibrium and we complete each row with the concentration of change of concentration. Let's consider the solubilization of YF₃.

       YF₃(s) ⇄ Y³⁺(aq) + 3 F⁻(aq)

I                       0               0

C                     +S            +3S

E                       S              3S

The solubility product (Ksp) is:

Ksp = [Y³⁺].[F⁻]³= S . (3S)³ = 27 S⁴

S=\sqrt[4]{Ksp/27} =\sqrt[4]{8.62 \times 10^{-21}  /27}=4.23 \times 10^{-6}M
