Chemistry
1 answer:
svlad2 [7]3 years ago
8 0

Let us see the structure of ascorbic acid


As shown there is no COOH group however the OH group can lose a proton and forms conjugate base

The conjugate base formed is stabilized due to resonance

More the stability of conjugate base more the strength of acid

Hence ascorbic acid behaves as an acid

Determine the empirical formula of a compound containing 1.71 g of silicon and 8.63 g of chlorine.
Basile [38]

Answer:

The answer to your question is: SiCl₄

Explanation:

Data

amount of Si      1.71 g

amount of Cl     8.63 g

MW Si = 28 g

MW Cl = 35.5

Process (rule of three)

For Si                                                        For Cl

        28 g of Si ------------------ 1 mol                      35.5 g of Cl --------------- 1 mol

          1.71g of Si  ---------------   x                              8.63 g of Cl --------------  x

         x = 1.71 x 1 / 28 = 0.06 mol                          x = 8.63 x 1 / 35.5 = 0.24 mol

Now, divide both results by the lowest of them.

Si = 0.06 mol / 0.06 = 1 molecule of Si     Cl = 0.24 / 0.06 = 4 molecules of Cl

Finally

                     Si₁ Cl₄ or SiCl₄
