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

A ball is rolling across the floor. Every 3 seconds it travels 12 meters. Its speed, therefore, is 36 m/s. Is this problem solve
kirill [66]
No because you are supposed to do this

d = t)v
T for time and V for velocity or acceleration so what you do is take the two numbers

D= 3/12 it goes 12 meters every 3 seconds so you devide 12/3
12 \div 3 = 4
So for every second the ball roles 4 meters!
Hope this helps! :)

Complete combustion of 5.90 g of a hydrocarbon produced 18.8 g of CO2 and 6.75 g of H2O.
Inessa05 [86]
First we have to find moles of C:
Molar mass of CO2:
12*1+16*2 = 44g/mol
(18.8 g CO2) / (44.00964 g CO2/mol) x (1 mol C/ 1 mol CO2) =0.427 mol C 
Molar mass of H2O:
2*1+16 = 18g/mol
As there is 2 moles of H in H2O,
So,

<span>(6.75 g H2O) / (18.01532 g H2O/mol) x (2 mol H / 1 mol H2O) = 0.74mol H </span>

<span>Divide both number of moles by the smaller number of moles: </span>
<span>As Smaaler no moles is 0.427:
So,
Dividing both number os moles by 0.427 :
(0.427 mol C) / 0.427 = 1.000 </span>
<span>(0.74 mol H) / 0.427 = 1.733 </span>

<span>To achieve integer coefficients, multiply by 2, then round to the nearest whole numbers to find the empirical formula: 
C = 1 * 2 = 2
H = 1.733 * 2 =3.466
So , the empirical formula is C2H3</span>

What is the weighted average of a nail in the sample data given?
Natalka [10]

The weighted average of the nail in accordance with the given data is 11.176g.

<h3>How to calculate weighted average?</h3>

Weighted average is an arithmetic mean of values biased according to agreed weightings.

The weighted average of the nail in the image above can be calculated by multiplying the decimal abundance with the mass of the nail, then summed up as follows;

Weighted average = (decimal abundance × mass 1) + (decimal abundance × mass 2)

Weighted average = (0.12 × 3.3) + (0.88 × 12.25)

Weighted average = 0.396 + 10.78

Weighted average = 11.176g

Therefore, 11.176g is the weighted average of the nail
