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

Given the following equation, what is the correct form of the conversion factor needed to convert the number of moles O2 to the
jek_recluse [69]

Answer:

Option A says we have 4 moles of Fe for each 3 moles O2

This is correct For 3 moles of O2 consumed, we need 4 moles of Fe to be reacted

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Step 2: The balanced equation

4Fe + 3O2 → 2Fe2O3

Step 3: Calculate the mol ratio

For 3 moles O2 we'll have 4 moles Fe

Option A says we have 4 moles of Fe for each 3 moles O2

This is correct For 3 moles of O2 consumed, we need 4 moles of Fe to be reacted

Option b says we have 2 mole Fe2O3 for each 4 moles Fe

This doesnt say anything about O2. So doesn't apply for this question.

Option C says we have 4 moles of Fe for each 2 moles Fe2O3

This is the same as option B, so doesn't apply for this question.

Option D says for each 3 moles of O2 we have 2 Fe2O3

This is true, but doesn't say anything about Fe so doesn't apply here.
