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.

What is an azeotrope? 2. Under what conditions is it better to perform a steam distillation (instead of, say, a simple distillat
aleksandrvk [35]

Answer:

Explanation:

1.)azeotrope is a mixture of two or more liquid components under constant boiling, it has a constant mole fraction composition of present component which can be homogeneous or heterogeneous.

2.)the condition which it's best performed when there's liquids that is non-volatile which boils higher than other liquids with at least 26 degrees .

3.During a steam distillation, How to know if the organic compound is still coming over is when you see the solution becoming cloudy or when there is existence of two layers.

4.)The end of the steam distillation, the receiving flask should contain two layers of liquid, and the chemical identity of these two liquids most contain

A.) Layers that are mostly water H2O

B.) Layers that are mostly products

5.)What is the purpose of adding 10% sodium carbonate solution to the distillate if it is acidic to litmus is to neutralize the distillate.

N⁻³ and Na⁺ have same<br> A Atomic no. <br>B Mass No. <br>C No. of electrons <br>D No. of neutrons​
gizmo_the_mogwai [7]

Answer:

C.) No. of electrons

Explanation:

A.) is incorrect. The atomic number represents the number of protons in an element. Nitrogen (N) and sodium (Na) always have a differing amount of protons.

B.) is incorrect. The mass number represents the number of protons and neutrons in an element. The number of neutrons and protons are specific to each element (disregarding isotopes). When elements ionize, these amounts are not altered.

C.) is correct. When an element becomes an ion, the number of electrons change. When nitrogen gains 3 electrons and sodium loses 1 electron, they end up having the same number of electrons (10).

D.) is incorrect. When elements ionize, the number of neutrons does not change. The only way two different elements could have the same number of neutrons is if at least one of the elements is an isotope. Isotopes are two or more atoms of the same element that differ in their amounts of neutrons.

Which substance would have the highest melting point, based on electronegativity?
Mazyrski [523]

Answer:

H₂O

Explanation:

Based electronegativity, water H₂O will have the higher melting point from the given choices. The binding force between hydrogen and oxygen is greater than for the others.

  • In group 6, oxygen has the highest electronegativity.
  • It pulls the shared electron closer in the bond.
  • The high electronegativity between hydrogen and oxygen causes the elevated melting point between the two species.

Make a prediction about the relationship between electrons and molecular shapes ​
Oksana_A [137]

Answer:

★ Molecular geometry is described by VSEPR theory, which basically states that electron pairs around a central atom will repel each other, and get as far apart as possible, in three dimensions.

Explanation:

Hope you have a great day :)
