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

What are inside of cars so hot when left in the sun
Naya [18.7K]

Answer:

metalllll/material

Explanation:

you know how dark shirts absorb the sun heat well its practically the same just with material.

"Why is the inside of a car so hot after sitting in the sun?

Cars warm up in the sun due to the greenhouse effect: Sunlight passing through the windows into the car is mostly absorbed by interior surfaces, then radiated back to the air as heat. ... “As a consequence, the inside of the car will warm because radiation is coming in but not much is going back out.”Jul 27, 2009

Curiosities: Does a dark-colored car heat up more in the sun than a ..."

Why is it impossible to have an undiscovered element that would fit between sodium and magnesuim
Stolb23 [73]

Answer:

Sodium has 11 protons and Magnesium has 12. The way that the periodic table is set up doesn't allow for any elements to be in between. The element would have to have 11.5 protons, which is impossible

Why is the first jar of hydrogen gas collected during preparation discarded
valentina_108 [34]

Answer:

Hydrogen is collected by downward displacement of water as it is less denser than water. Hence it comes out at the surface of water . It is insoluble in water so it does not dissolve in water

In the partition coefficient experiment 4A this week, after thorough mixing of the reagents, phase separation will occur. The to
Andreas93 [3]

Answer:

The top layer is the Aqueous layer, and the benzoic acid is contained in the non-aqueous layer/oil phase.

Explanation:

A separating funnel is a very important piece of laboratory glassware that is used to separate the components of liquid-liquid mixtures  which are immiscible. This technique is used in the extraction of the components of mixtures.

The liquids separate into two phases. The separation is based on the differences in the liquids' densities, where the denser liquid settles below and the lower density liquid stays afloat. Liquids used for this kind of separation are usually different liquids, one is the aqueous layer and the other, a non-aqueous layer.

Partition coefficient or distribution coefficient is defined as the ratio of the concentrations of a compound in two immiscible solvents at equilibrium.

Organic solvents (except halogenated organic compounds) with densities greater than that of water i.e 1g/mL ( usually called the oil phase) settle at the bottom of the aqueous phase.

Benzoic acid. will settle at the bottom layer ( i.e the lower phase).
