what is the molecular formula of a compound with an empiricla formula of ch and a molecular mass of 78

Chemistry

Dovator [93]4 years ago

Answer:

C6H6

Explanation:

We can obtain the molecular formula from the empirical formula.

What we need do here is:

(CH)n = 78

The n shows the multiples of both element present in the actual compound. It can be seen that carbon and hydrogen have the same element ratio here. We then use the atomic masses of both elements to get the value of n. The atomic mass of carbon is 12 a.m.u while the atomic mass of hydrogen is 1 a.m.u

(1 + 12)n = 78

13n = 78

n = 78/13 = 6

The molecular formula is

(CH)n = (CH)6 = C6H6

Answer:asexual- Energy is not required to find a mate. Offspring are genetic clones. A negative mutation can make asexually produced organisms susceptible to disease and can destroy large numbers of offspring. Some methods of asexual reproduction produce offspring that are close together and compete for food and space.

Explanation:During sexual reproduction the genetic material of two individuals is combined to produce genetically diverse offspring that differ from their parents.

1. If you have 8.1 g CO₂ and 2.3 g H₂, which one is the limiting reactant. Show your work. 2. Calculate the theoretical yield of
ZanzabumX [31]

Answer:

2.95 g of CH₄

Explanation:

To start this, we determine the equation:

4H₂  + CO₂ →  CH₄  +  2H₂O

4 moles of hydrogen react to 1 mol of carbon dioxide in order to produce 1 mol of methane and 2 moles of water.

To determine the limiting reactant, we need to know the moles of each reactant.

8.1 g . 1 mol/ 44g = 0.184 moles of carbon dioxide

2.3 g . 1mol / 2g = 1.15 moles of hydrogen

4 moles of hydrogen react to 1 mol of CO₂

Then, 1.15 moles may react to (1.15 . 1) /4 = 0.2875 moles

We only have 0.184 moles of CO₂, so this is the limiting reactant. Not enough CO₂ to complete the 0.2875 moles that are needed.

Ratio is 1:1. 1 mol of CO₂ produces 1 mol of methane

Then, 0.184 moles of CO₂ will produce 0.184 moles of CH₄

We convert moles to mass: 0.184 mol . 16 g /mol = 2.95 g

How many ozone particles are needed to form 24 particles of oxygen gas?
bearhunter [10]
First, you have to know the chemical formula of ozone and oxygen gas. Oxygen gas is O₂; it is one of the few gases that are diatomic in nature. The chemical formula of ozone is O₃. In oxygen gas, there are 2 particles of the oxygen element, while there are 3 particles for the ozone. There might be a slight difference but this induces a great difference in their properties. Oxygen is essential to living things because this is the gas that we breathe in. However, ozone is not safe to breathe in. It is a very strong oxidizing agent, almost 4 times as strong as the oxygen. Its main function is to block the UV rays from entering the Earth's atmosphere which can be harmful to our health.

Having known their chemical formula and properties, we know that an oxygen gas has 2 particles of oxygen element. So, if there are 24 particles of oxygen gas, that would mean 48 particles of the oxygen element. Since an ozone compound contains 3 particles of the oxygen element, then 48/3 = 16. It would take 16 particles of ozone to form 24 particles of the oxygen gas.
