Answer:

The molecular formula = N2O4

Explanation:

<u>Step 1</u>: Data given

A gaseous compound is 30.4 % N and 69.6%

Mass of the compound = 5.25 grams

Volume of the gas = 1.00 L

Pressure of the gas = 958 mmHg = 1.26 atm

Temperature of the gas = -4 °C = 273 -4°C = 269 Kelvin

Molar mass of N = 14 g/mol

Molar mass of O = 16 g/mol

<u>Step 2</u>: Calculate mass of N

Mass of Nitrogen = 5.25 grams * 0.304 = 1.596 grams

<u>Step 3:</u> Calculate mass of O

Mass of Oxygen = 5.25 grams * 0.696 = 3.654 grams

<u>Step 4:</u> Calculate number of moles N

Number of moles N = Mass of N/ Molar mass of N

Moles of N = 1.596 grams / 14g/mol

Moles of N = 0.114 moles N

<u>Step 5:</u> Calculate moles of O

Moles O = 3.654 grams / 16 g/mol

Moles 0 = 0.2884 moles

<u>Step 6:</u> Calculate empirical formule

We calculate the empirical formule by dividing number of moles by the smallest number of mol

N : 0.114 / 0.114 = 1

O: 0.2284 / 0.114 = 2

Empirical formule = NO2

<u>Step 7: </u>Calculate number of moles of 5.25 g sample via gas law:

p*V = nRT

⇒ with p = the pressure = 1.26 atm

⇒ with v = 1.00 L

⇒ with n = the number of moles = TO BE DETERMINED

⇒ with R = the gas constant = 0.08206 L*atm/ K*mol

⇒ with T = the temperature = 269 K

number of moles n = (p*V)/(R*T)

n = (1.26*1L)/(0.08206*269)

n = 0.057 mol  

<u>Step 8:</u> Calculate molar mass of the compound

This means 5.25 grams of the gas = 0.057 moles

So 1 mol of the compound has a molar mass of: 5.25 / 0.057 = 92.11 g/mol

<u>Step 9</u>: Calculate molar mass of the empirical formula NO2

N = 14 g/mol

O = 16 g/mol

NO2 = 14 + 16 + 16 = 46 g/mol

The empirical formule NO2 has a molar mass of 46 g/mol

<u>Step 10</u>: Calculate molecular formula

92.11 / 46 = 2

This means the empirical formula should be multiplied by 2

2*(NO2) = N2O4

The molecular formula = N2O4

An electrolytic cell is based upon a nonspontaneous reaction; the Eocell for the reaction is _____.
Likurg_2 [28]

In an electrochemical cell in which the oxidation reaction is nonspontaneous  the oxidation will not occur spontaneously at the anode and the reduction will not be spontaneous at the cathode.  And according to the law for the calculation of the voltage potential of the electrochemical cell (Ecell):

Ecell = Eox. - Ere.  where (Eox. is the potential of the oxidation at the anode and Ere. is the potential of the reduction at the cathode). The standard potential for an electrolytic cell is negative, because of the Ere. which is greater than Eox.

The answer is : less than zero.

A(n) _______________ can be formed by linking together several monosaccharides via glycosidic bonds.
mario62 [17]

Answer:

A polysaccharide (n) can be formed by linking several monosaccharides through glycosidic linkages.

Explanation:

Polysaccharides are carbohydrates or complex carbohydrates, where monosaccharides join with glucosidic bonds to form a more complex structure that would be the polysaccharide.

An example of a polysaccharide is starch, or glycogen.

Starch is found in many foods such as potatoes or rice, and glycogen is a form of energy reserve of our organism housed in muscles and liver to fulfill locomotion, physical activity, and other activities that consist of glycolysis.

Polysaccharides are degraded in our body by different stages, and several enzymes unlike monosoccharides or disaccharides, since they have more unions and a more complex structure to disarm in our body and thus assimilate it.

Polysaccharides are also part of animal structures, such as insect shells or nutritional sources, among others.
