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

+ H₂O
trapecia [35]

Answer:

None of these are correct, because there is no way to balance this equation, but I hope these steps help you figure out your answer.

Explanation:

Count out the single amounts of elements you have on both sides of the equation. To be balanced, you need to have the exact same for each element.

Before balanced Left side.

Cl-2

O-8

H-2

Before balanced right side.

H-1

Cl-1

O-3

That means we need to increase Hydrogen, Chlorine and Oxygen on the right for sure and see how that affects the equation. You can keep adding the Coefficients until the # of elements begin to match on each side.  

(I tried to balance this equation, it doesn't work, there is too much on the reactants side for what the product is.)

Match the following descriptions with the correct polysaccharide, note if you answer any part of this question incorrectly a sig
Ad libitum [116K]

Answer:

Glycogen. Cellulose. Amylose. Cellulose. Amylopetin and Glycogen. Amylopetin and Cellulose.

Explanation:

Glycogen is the form that glucose is stored in human body.

Cellulose is the structural part of plant cell walls and human cannot digest it.

Amylose is the polysaccharide linked mainly by the the bonds of \alpha 1,4 glycosidic.

Cellulose is an unbranched polysaccharide linked mainly by the bonds of  \beta 1,4 glycosidic.

Amylopetin and Glycogen are branched polysaccharides linked by the bonds of \alpha 1,4 glycosidic and \alpha 1,6 glycosidic.

Amylopetin and Cellulose are mainly stored in plants.
