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

How do you figure out molality
hodyreva [135]
*The molality of a solution is calculated by taking the moles of solute and dividing by
the kilograms of solvent* Basically if we had 1.00 mole of sucrose (it's about 342 3 grams) and
proceeded to mix it into exactly 1.00 liter water. It would dissolve and make sugar
water. We keep adding water, dissolving and stirring until all the solid was gone. We
then made sure everything was well-mixed.
What would be the molality of this solution? Notice that my one liter of water weighs
1000 grams (density of water = 1.00 g / mL and 1000 mL of water in a liter).

What is the value of the equilibrium constant at 25 oC for the reaction between the pair: I2(s) and Br-(aq) Give your answer usi
insens350 [35]

Explanation:

Formula to calculate standard electrode potential is as follows.

          E^{o}_{cell} = E^{0}_{cathode} - E^{0}_{anode}

                             = 0.535 - 1.065

                             = - 0.53 V

Also, it is known that relation between E^{o}_{cell} and K is as follows.

            E^{o}_{cell} = \frac{RT}{nF} \times ln K

                 ln K = \frac{nFE^{0}_{cell}}{RT}      

Substituting the given values into the above formula as follows.

                 ln K = \frac{nFE^{0}_{cell}}{RT}    

                        =  \frac{2 \times 96485 C mol^{-1} \times -0.53 V}{8.314 l atm/mol K \times 298 K} \times \frac{1 J}{1 V C}  

                ln K = -41.28

                    K = e^{-41.28}    

                        = 1 \times 10^{-18}

Thus, we can conclude that the value of the equilibrium constant for the given reaction is 1 \times 10^{-18}.

If the concentration of Mg2+ in the solution were 0.039 M, what minimum [OH−] triggers precipitation of the Mg2+ ion? (Ksp=2.06×
Elodia [21]

Answer:

2.30 × 10⁻⁶ M

Explanation:

Step 1: Given data

Concentration of Mg²⁺ ([Mg²⁺]): 0.039 M

Solubility product constant of Mg(OH)₂ (Ksp): 2.06 × 10⁻¹³

Step 2: Write the reaction for the solution of Mg(OH)₂

Mg(OH)₂(s) ⇄ Mg²⁺(aq) + 2 OH⁻(aq)

Step 3: Calculate the minimum [OH⁻] required to trigger the precipitation of Mg²⁺ as Mg(OH)₂

We will use the following expression.

Ksp = 2.06 × 10⁻¹³ = [Mg²⁺] × [OH⁻]²

[OH⁻] = 2.30 × 10⁻⁶ M
