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}

HELP!! b. At the equivalence point, all of the acid has been neutralized by the base. Why does the pH change so
CaHeK987 [17]

At equivalence there is no more HA and no more NaOH, for this particular reaction. So that means we have a beaker of NaA and H2O. The H2O contributes 1 x 10-7 M hydrogen ion and hydroxide ion. But NaA is completely soluble because group 1 ion compounds are always soluble. So NaA breaks apart in water and it just so happens to be in water. So now NaA is broken up. The Na+ doesn't change the pH but the A- does change the pH. Remember that the A anion is from a weak acid. That means it will easily attract a hydrogen ion if one is available. What do you know? The A anion is in a beaker of H+ ions! So the A- will attract H+ and become HA. When this happens, it leaves OH-, creating a basic solution, as shown below.

A buret was improperly read to 1 decimal place giving a reading of 27.2 mL. If the actual volume is 27.26 mL, what is the percen
Nezavi [6.7K]
Percent error can be calculated by the difference of the theoretical value and the measured value divided by the theoretical value multiplied by 100 percent. 

% error = 27.26 - 27.2 / 27.26 x100
% error = 0.22%

A value close to zero would mean that the measured value is more or less near the actual value.
