Empirical formula is the simplest ratio of whole numbers of components in a compound. While the molecular formula is the actual number of components making up the compound. 
the formula given C₄H₁₀
ratio of C to H is 4:10
if we simplify this ratio;
4:10
2:5
Then the empirical formula of the compound is  - C₂H₅

Which of the following is an acid-base neutralization reaction? (1 point) Sn + 2HBr yields SnBr2 + H2 HCl + KOH yields KCl + H2O
borishaifa [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

Sn + 2HBr =  SnBr₂ + H₂

Here HBr is an acid but Sn is not a base . It is a metal . So it is not an acid - base reaction .

HCl + KOH =  KCl + H₂O

HCl is an acid and KOH is a base so it is an acid base reaction.

2AlCl₃ + 3Ca(OH)₂ =  2Al(OH)₃ + 3CaCl₂

It is an acid base reaction . It is so because aluminium hydroxide is a lewis acid and calcium hydroxide is a base . So it is an acid base reaction .

2C₂H₆ +7O₂ =  4CO₂ + 6H₂O

It is not an acid base reaction . It is actually an example of oxidation reaction in which ethane burns in oxygen to give carbon dioxide and water.

What units should be used when describing the density of oil?
Alinara [238K]

Answer:

Generally, density is measured using he SI unit for measurement of density which is kg/m³ or the cgs units used to describe the density of a substance which is g/cm³

However, due to its nature (being composed of varying amount proportions of different compounds mixed together resulting in a variation of the density of naturally produced crude oil) of having different densities whereby the lighter oils are more easily processed than the heavier variety of oils, oil density is related to the quality of the oil and it is usually measures in API gravity as follows;

°API = (141.5/S.G.) - 131.5

Where;

API = American Petroleum Institute

S. G. = Specific gravity

As such the API gravity of fresh water with a S. G. of 1.0 has is 10 degrees

Determine the ph of a 0.188 m nh3 solution at 25°c. the kb of nh3 is 1.76 × 10-5.
Ber [7]
When NH3 is dissolved in water, it dissociates  partially producing NH4+ ions and OH- ions. It has an equation:
NH3 + H2O → NH4+ + OH- 

<span>We use the Kb expression to determine the [OH-] concentration,
</span>
<span>Kb = [NH4+] [OH-] /* [NH3] </span>

We can write NH4+ as OH- since they are of equal ratio. 
<span>(1.76*10^-5) = [OH-]² / 0.188 
</span><span>[OH-]² = 3.3088*10^-6 </span>
<span>[OH-] = 1.819*10^-3 </span>

We calculate for H+ concentration as follows:

<span>[H+] [OH-] = 10^-14 </span>
<span>[H+] = 10^-14 / [OH-] </span>
<span>[H+] = 10^-14 / (1.819*10^-3) </span>
<span>[H+] = 5.50*10^-12 </span>

<span>pH = -log [H+] </span>
<span>pH = -log (5.5*10^-12) </span>
<span>pH = 11.26</span>

What is the molarity if 6664 grams of boron iodide is dissolved in 5.25 liters of water?
Virty [35]

Answer:

3.24 mol/L

Explanation:

Given that:

mass of Boron triiodide = 6664 grams

molar mass of BI_3 = 391.52 g/mol

Recall that:

number of moles = mass/molar mass

∴

number of moles = 6664 g /391.52 g/mol

number of moles = 17.02 mol

Also;

Molarity = moles for solute/liter for solution

= 17.02 mol/5.25 L

= 3.24 mol/L
