A 2.87 g sample of carbon reacts with hydrogen to form 3.41 g of car fuel. What is the empirical formula for the car fuel?

CH₇ is the empirical formula of the car fuel.

Explanation:

To find the empirical formula we use the following algorithm.

First divide each mass the the molar weight of each element:

for carbon 2.87 / 12 = 0.239

for hydrogen 3.41 / 2 = 1.705

And now divide each quantity by the lowest number which is 0.239:

for carbon 0.239 / 0.239 = 1

for hydrogen 1.705 / 0.239 = 7.13 ≈ 7

The empirical formula of the car fuel is CH₇.

I have to tell you that in reality this formula is wrong because is not possible to exist. However the algorithm for finding the empirical formula is right, the problem may reside in the amounts of carbon and hydrogen given.

How many moles of aluminum oxide would form if 12.5 moles of aluminum burned​
jarptica [38.1K]
<h3>Al + O2 -> Al2O3</h3>

Balance it:

<h3>2Al + 3O2 -> 2Al2O3</h3><h3 />

So you need 2 Al and 3 O2 to make 2 Al2O3 (aluminum oxide).

I'm going to assume you have all the O2 you need.

Since 2 mols of Al is needed to make 2 mols of the product, it's a 1:1 ratio. You get as much aluminum oxide for as much aluminum you burn.

So 12.5 mols if there is not a lack of the O2.

Which type of solution is one with a PH of 8?
Tju [1.3M]
Good Morning! The pH classification line (potential of hydrogen) starts at 0 and ends at 14. Solutions that have a pH below 7 (which is the neutral), have more acidic characteristics. Solutions, on the other hand, that have their hydrogen potential greater than 7, have basic aspects. A substance with pH 8, therefore, has a basic <span>characteristic. Hugs!</span>

Specify the principle involved in each separation method
qaws [65]

Answer:

Mixtures can be separated using a variety of techniques.

Chromatography involves solvent separation on a solid medium.

Distillation takes advantage of differences in boiling points.

Evaporation removes a liquid from a solution to leave a solid material.

Filtration separates solids of different sizes.

A woolly mammoth was found in 1999 buried in the frozen soil of the Siberian tundra. Carbon-14 dating indicated that it had died
klemol [59]

Tundra soils are formed at high latitudes which leaves the tundra always very cold. Tundra soils are generally frozen, and are classifed as Gelisols (this means that permafrost are within 100 cm of the soil surface). These permafrost are as a result of the freezing by winter of the underground water that was accumulated in summer. These soils freeze and thaw alot and as result of that, moisture do not permeate the soil easily. Also, due to this harsh temperature and underground permafrost, most organisms that died in the tundra are preserved within the soil.
