53. Which of the following is NOT a correct interpretation of CH2O, the formula of the compound formaldehyde?

Chemistry

Answer:

B There are two grams of hydrogen for each gram of carbon in this compound.

Explanation:

The second option is a wrong interpretation of this chemical representation of formaldehyde.

Formaldehyde is an organic compound with the formula CH₂O.

As this is the simplest formula of the compound, it is the empirical formula. Also, the formula is the actual one for the compound and it is the molecular formula.

Chemically, the formula shows 1 mole of carbon, 2 moles of H and 1 mole of oxygen in the compound.

  • A mole of a substance is more a less a unit of measurement in chemistry and it is the amount of substance that contains the avogadro's number of particles.

This ratio is not the mass of chemical species in the compound. You cannot tell the mass of elements in a compound by merely looking at the formula.

The solubility of carbon dioxide in water is 0.161 g CO2in 100 mL of water at 20ºC and 1.00 atmCO2. A soft drink is carbonated w
Sedbober [7]

<u>Answer:</u> The solubility of carbon dioxide at 5.50 atm is 0.886g/100mL

<u>Explanation:</u>

To calculate the molar solubility, we use the equation given by Henry's law, which is:

C_{A}=K_H\times p_{A}

Or,

\frac{C_{1}}{C_{2}}=\frac{p_{1}}{p_2}

where,

C_1\text{ and }p_1 are the initial concentration and partial pressure of carbon dioxide

C_2\text{ and }p_2 are the final concentration and partial pressure of carbon dioxide

We are given:

C_1=0.161g/100mL\\p_1=1.00atm\\C_2=?\\p_2=5.50atm

Putting values in above equation, we get:

\frac{0.161g/100mL}{C_2}=\frac{1.00atm}{5.50atm}\\\\C_2=\frac{0.161g/100mL\times 5.50atm}{1.00atm}=0.886g/100mL

Hence, the solubility of carbon dioxide at 5.50 atm is 0.886g/100mL

The density of water is 1.00 g/ml at 4°c. how many water molecules are present in 2.56 ml of water at this temperature?
o-na [289]

Answer:

             8.55 × 10²² Molecules

Solution:

Step 1: Calculate the Mass of Water as;

                       Density  =  Mass ÷ Volume

Solving for Mass,

                       Mass  =  Density × Volume

Putting values,

                       Mass  =  1 g.mL⁻¹ × 2.56 mL

                       Mass  =  2.56 g

Step 2: Calculate Moles of Water as,

                       Moles  =  Mass ÷ M.Mass

Putting values,

                       Moles  =  2.56 g ÷ 18 g.mol⁻¹

                       Moles  =  0.142 mol

Step 3: Calculate Number of Molecules of Water as,

                       # of Molecules  =  Moles × 6.022 × 10²³

Putting value of mole,

                       # of Molecules  =  0.142 × 6.022 × 10²³

                       # of Molecules  =  8.55 × 10²² Molecules
