Answer:
C₂H₅O₂
Explanation:
From the question given above, the following data were obtained:
Mass of compound = 0.25 g
Mass of CO₂ = 0.3664 g
Mass of H₂O = 0.15 g
Empirical formula =?
Next, we shall determine the mass of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen present in the compound. This can be obtained as follow:
For Carbon (C):
Mass of CO₂ = 0.3664 g
Molar mass of CO₂ = 12 + (2×16) = 44 g/mol
Mass of C = 12/44 × 0.3664
Mass of C = 0.1
For Hydrogen (H):
Mass of H₂O = 0.15 g
Molar mass of H₂O = (2×1) + 16 = 18 g/mol
Mass of H = 2/18 × 0.15
Mass of H = 0.02 g
For Oxygen (O):
Mass of C = 0.1 g
Mass of H = 0.02 g
Mass of compound = 0.25 g
Mass of O =?
Mass of O = (Mass of compound) – (Mass of C + Mass of H)
Mass of O = 0.25 – (0.1 + 0.02)
Mass of O = 0.25 –0.12
Mass of O = 0.13 g
Finally, we shall determine the empirical formula for the compound. This can be obtained as follow:
C = 0.1
H = 0.02
O = 0.13
Divide by their molar mass
C = 0.1 / 12 = 0.0083
H = 0.02 / 1 = 0.02
O = 0.13 / 16 = 0.0081
Divide by the smallest
C = 0.0083 / 0.0081 = 1
H = 0.02 / 0.0081 = 2.47
O = 0.008 / 0.008 = 1
Multiply by 2 to express in whole number
C = 1 × 2 = 2
H = 2.47 × 2 = 5
O = 1 × 2 = 2
Thus, the empirical formula for the compound is C₂H₅O₂
Answer:- 
and 
radiation.
Explanations:- Alpha particle is helium nucleus with two protons and two neutrons and so it has +2 charge where as gamma is a form of light, so these are rays and not particles. Since these are rays, the charges for gamma rays is zero means they are neutral.
When alpha particles are passed through electromagnetic field they are repelled by the positive plate and attracted by the negative plate as there is an attraction between opposite charges. So, the line we see towards positive plat is representing an alpha particle radiation.
Since gamma rays are neutral, they are not deflected in electromagnetic field and go straight. So, the other line in the diagram is representing gamma rays radiation.
For radioactive decay, we can relate current amount, initial amount, decay constant and time using:
N = No x exp(-λt)
Half-life = ln(2)/λ
λ = ln(2) / 5730
N/No = 80% = 0.8
0.8 = exp( -ln(2)/5730 x t)
t = 1844 years
Answer:
If the volume of the container is decreased by a factor of 2 the pressure is is increased by the same factor to 1664 torr.
Explanation:
Here we have Boyle's law which states that, at constant temperature, the volume of a given mass of gas is inversely proportional to its pressure
V ∝ 1/P or V₁·P₁ = V₂·P₂
Where:
V₁ = Initial volume
V₂ = Final volume = V₁/2
P₁ = Initial pressure = 832 torr
P₂ = Final pressure = Required
From V₁·P₁ = V₂·P₂ we have,
P₂ = V₁·P₁/V₂ = V₁·P₁/(V₁/2)
P₂ = 2·V₁·P₁/V₁ = 2·P₁ = 2× 832 torr = 1664 torr
