Answer;

C7H14O2

Solution;

Isobutyl contains , oxygen, carbon and hydrogen (total mass is 1.152 g)

Mass of carbon = 12/44 × 2.726 g

                           = 0.743455 g

Mass of Hydrogen  = 2/18 × 1.116 g

                            =  0.124 g

Mass of oxygen = 1.152 - (0.7435 + 0.124)

                           =  0.2845 g

Moles of carbon ;  0.7435/12 = 0.06196 moles

Moles of hydrogen; 0.124/1 = 0.124 moles

Moles of oxygen;  0.2845/16 = 0.01778 moles

Ratios ; 0.06196/0.01778 ; 0.124/0.01778 : 0.01778/0.01778

         =  3.5 :  7.0 : 1

To make them whole numbers ; we multiply the ratios by 2  to get;

(3.5 :  7.0 : 1 )2 = 7 : 14 : 2

Thus, the empirical formula of Isobutyl propionate  is C7H14O2

HELPPP simply the expression!!!!
coldgirl [10]

Answer:

\frac{3}{ \sqrt{3} }  \times  \frac{ \sqrt{3} }{ \sqrt{3} }  =  \frac{3 \sqrt{3} }{3}  =  \sqrt{3}

when there is a radical in the denominator, we should rationalize (mutiply the denominator and numerator by the radical) to get rid of the radical in the denominator.

So I am lost and I don't know how what any of those conversion factor things are and I'm wondering how to do #2,3, and 4. (I did
dalvyx [7]

Explanation:

#2.

A centigram is 1/100 of a gram, so that means a gram equals 100 centigrams.

Therefore you multiply 72.4 grams by 100/1 (or just 100), and get 7240 cg.

You did that one right but put the wrong unit in the answer. It is is cg ( centigrams).

#3.

1 liter is equal to 1000 milliliters, and I kiloliter is equal to 1000 liters. So one kiloliter is 1000*1000 milliliters or 1,000,000 milliliters.

The conversion factor would be

1/1000000

#4.

1 gigabyte is equal to 10^9 bytes.

I byte is equal to 10^9 bytes.

So 1 gigabyte is 10^9 * 10^9 nanobytes, or 10^18.

The conversion factor would be (1*10^18)/1.

How many miles of lead are equal to 9.51 x 10^3 g Pb?
Lemur [1.5K]
Molar mass Pb = 207.2 g/mol

1 mole Pb ------------- 207.2
? mole Pb ------------ 9.51 x 10³

moles = 9.51 x 10³ * 1 / 207.2

moles = 9.51 x 10³ / 207.2

= 45.89 moles

hope this helps!
