Suppose we have 100 gr of the substance. Then by weight, it would contain 44.77 gr of C, 7.46 gr of H and 47.76 gr of S. We need to look up the atomic weights of these atoms; M_H=1, M_C=12, M_S=32. The following formula holds (where n are the moles of the substance, M its molecular mass and m its mass): n=m/M. Substituting the known quantities for each element, we get that the substance has 3.73 moles of C, 7.46 moles of H and 1.49 moles of S. In the empirical formula for the molecule, all atoms appear an integer amout of times. Hence, for every mole of Sulfur, we have 2.5 moles of C and 5 moles of H (by taking the moles ratios). Thus, for every 2 moles of sulfur, we have 5 moles of C and 10 moles of H. Now that all the coefficients are integer, we have arrived at an empirical formula for the skunk spray agent: C_5H_{10}S_2

<span>Synthetic gem crystals have been manufactured since the late 1800s, and their production is often marked by a need for them in industrial applications outside of the jewelry industry. The first success was in producing synthetic ruby of faceting quality. Synthetic crystals are used in communications and laser technology, microelectronics, and abrasives. Because synthetics for jewelry applications can be “made to order” [i.e. consistent color and crystal shape] given the right ingredients, time, and the facilities to grow them, they are likely to be much less rare than natural gems of equal size, clarity, and saturation of color. Because of this, and because it is possible to confuse them with gems that are naturally occurring, there are strict guidelines regarding how they are marketed and sold. so that is you answer </span>

How many liters of carbon dioxide will 0.5 moles of lithium hydroxide (LiOH) absorb?
Elden [556K]

Answer : The volume of carbon dioxide will be, 5.6122 L

Solution : Given,

Moles of LiOH = 0.5 moles

Molar mass of carbon dioxide = 44 g/mole

Density of carbon dioxide = 0.00196 g/ml

First we have to calculate the mass of carbon dioxide.

The balanced reaction will be,

2LiOH+CO_2\rightarrow Li_2CO_3+H_2O

From the reaction we conclude that

As, 2 moles of LiOH absorbs 44 grams of carbon dioxide

So, 0.5 moles of LiOH absorbs \frac{0.5moles}{2moles}\times 44g=11 grams of carbon dioxide

Mass of carbon dioxide = 11 g

Density of carbon dioxide = 0.00196 g/ml

Now we have to calculate the volume of carbon dioxide.

Density=\frac{Mass}{volume}

0.00196g/ml=\frac{11g}{volume}

Volume of carbon dioxide = 5612.24 ml = 5.6122 L      (1 L = 1000 ml)

Therefore, the volume of carbon dioxide will be, 5.6122 L

The fuel used to power the booster rockets on
Effectus [21]

Answer:

746 moles of H2O are been produced from 373 moles of Al.

Explanation:

For every 3 moles of aluminum, you get 6 moles of H2O (double). Therefore, every 373 moles of Al, you will get double as well, that is 746 m.
