Answer:

The molecular formula of the compound is C_{8}H_{16}O_{4}. The molecular formula is obtained by the following expression shown below

\textrm{Molecular formula }= n\times \textrm{Empirical formula}

Explanation:

Given molecular mass of the compound is 176 g/mol

Given empirical formula is  C_{2}H_{4}O

Atomic mass of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen are 12 u , 1 u and 16 u respectively.

Empirical formula mass of the compound = \left ( 2\times12+4+16 \right ) \textrm{ u} = 44 \textrm{ g/mol}

n = \displaystyle \frac{\textrm{Molecular formula mass}}{\textrm{Empirical formula mass}} \\n = \displaystyle \frac{176}{44} = 4

\textrm{Molecular formula }= n\times \textrm{Empirical formula}

Molecular formula = 4 \times C_{2}H_{4}O

Molecular formula is C_{8}H_{16}O_{4}

How does a computer's ability to perform so many calculations in a very short time affect how people communicate (pls help)
xeze [42]

Answer:

A computer's ability to perform so many calculations in a very short time affects how people communicate by stopping them from talking actually. We no longer talk verbally. We don't go out and socialize, we always talk from the phone or text. We have lost our inner touch with talking.

From 1962 until 1981 pennies were made from 95% copper and 5% zinc and had a mass of 3.1 g. Starting in 1982, pennies have been
Sloan [31]

Answer:

2.7724 g

Explanation:

Mass of pre- 1892 pennies = 3.1 g

Abundance = 45.4 %

Mass of post 1892 pennies = 2.5 g

Abundance = 100 - 45.4 = 54.6 %

The average mass is given as = ( 3.1 g   *  45.4 / 100)  +  (2.5g  *  54.6 / 100)

Average Mass = 3.1 * 0.454   +   2.5  *  0.546

Average Mass = 1.4074  + 1.365 = 2.7724 g

How many moles of aluminum metal are required to produce 4.04 L of hydrogen gas at 1.11 atm and 27 °C by reaction with HCl? ​
Strike441 [17]

Answer:

0.121 moles of aluminum metal are required to produce 4.04 L of hydrogen gas at 1.11 atm and 27 °C by reaction with HCl

Explanation:

This is the reaction:

2 Al(s) + 6 HCl(aq) → 2 AlCl₃ (aq) + 3 H₂(g)

To make 3 moles of H₂, we need 2 moles of Al.

By conditions given, we will find out how many moles of H₂ do we have.

Let's use the Ideal Gas Law

P. V = n . R . T

1.11 atm . 4.04L = n . 0.082 L.atm/mol.K . 300K

(1.11 atm . 4.04L) / (0.082 mol.K/L.atm . 300K) = n

0.182 mol = n

So the rule of three will be:

If 3 moles of H₂ came from 2 moles of Al

0.182 moles of H₂ will come from x

(0.182 .2) / 3 = 0.121 moles
