Answer:
C. oxygen atom
Explanation:
H2O contains two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom.
Answer:
Empirical formula is CH₄
Molecular formula = C₂H₈
Explanation:
Mass of carbon = 37.5 g
Mass of hydrogen = 12.5 g
Molecular weight = 32 g/mol
Molecular formula = ?
Empirical formula = ?
Solution:
Number of gram atoms of C = 37.5 g /12g/mol = 3.125
Number of gram atoms of H = 12.5 g / 1.008 g/mol= 12.4
Atomic ratio:
C : H
3.125/3.125 : 12.4 /3.125
1 : 4
C : H : = 1 : 4
Empirical formula is CH₄
Molecular formula:
Molecular formula = n (empirical formula)
n = molar mass of compound / empirical formula mass
n = 32 / 16
n = 2
Molecular formula = n (empirical formula)
Molecular formula = 2 ( CH₄)
Molecular formula = C₂H₈
This separation technique is a 4-step procedure. First, add H₂SO₄ to the solution. Because of common ion effect, BaSO₄ will not react, only Mg(OH)₂.
Mg(OH)₂ + H₂SO₄ → MgSO₄ + 2 H₂O
The aqueous solution will now contain MgSO₄ and BaSO₄. Unlike BaSO₄, MgSO₄ is soluble in water. So, you filter out the solution. You can set aside the BaSO₄ on the filter paper. To retrieve Mg(OH)₂, add NaOH.
MgSO₄ + 2 NaOH = Mg(OH)₂ + Na₂SO₄
Na₂SO₄ is soluble in water, while Mg(OH)₂ is not. Filter this solution again. The Mg(OH)₂ is retrieved in solid form on the filter paper.
