Answer:

Emperical formula of the acid is CH2O

Molecular formula is C2H4O2

Explanation:

C. H. O

% by mass. 40. 6.71 53.29

MW. 12. 1. 16

Mole 40/12. 6.71/1. 53.29/16

3.33. 6.71. 3.33

3.33/3.33 6.71/3.33 3.33/3.33

1. 2. 1

Emperical Formula (EF): CH2O

Molecular Formula (MF)

Molecular Weight (MW) of acid = mole/mass = 0.00278/0.167 = 60g/mol

MF = (EF)n = 60

(CH2O)n = 60

(12+2+16)n = 60

30n = 60

n = 60/30 = 2

Molecular formula = (EF)n = (CH2O)2 = C2H4O2

Calculate the masses.
malfutka [58]

Answer:

a) Mass = 3.9 g

b) Mass = 0.395 g

Explanation:

Density is related to the mass and volume of a substance by the relation:

Density = \frac{Mass}{Volume}----(1)

a) Given:

Volume  = 4.00cm3

Density = 0.97 g/cm3

Based on equation (1)

Mass = density*volume = 0.97 g/cm3*4.00 cm3 =3.9 g

b) Given:

Volume  = 125 ml

Density = 3.16 g/L

1 ml = 0.001 L

Therefore, 125 ml = 0.125 L

Based on equation (1)

Mass = density*volume = 3.16 g/L*0.125L =0.395 g

Imagine you have a 1.0 mL water sample containing 0.10 M hydrochloric acid, HCl. You want to get it to a safe pH of 6. How much
AVprozaik [17]

Answer:

See explanation below

Explanation:

In this case, HCl is a strong acid, therefore, it dissociates completely in solution.

To know the quantity of water we need to add, we first need to know the concentration of the acid with pH = 6:

[H⁺] = antlog(-pH)

[H⁺] = antlog(-6) = 1x10⁻⁶ M

This means that the concentration is being diluted.

Now, even if we add great quantities of water, and the concentration and volume change, there is one time that do not change despite the quantity of water added; this is the moles. So, all we have to do, is calculate the moles of the acid in the 1 mL of water, and then, the volume of the acid when it's dilluted:

moles HCl = 0.1 * (1/1000) = 1x10⁻⁴ moles

Now that we have the moles, we can calculate the volume which the acid with the lowest concentration has:

V = mol/M

V = 1x10⁻⁴ / 1x10⁻⁶

V = 100 L

This means that we need to add 99.999 mL of water
