Explanation:</h3>
Concept tested: Balancing of chemical equations
- A chemical equation is balanced by putting appropriate coefficients on the products and reactants of the equation.
- Balancing chemical equations ensures that chemical equations obey law of conservation of mass.
- In this case; to balance the above equation we put the coefficients, 1, 3, 2, and 3 on the reactants and products.
- Therefore; the balanced chemical equation for the reaction is;
Fe₂O₃(s) + 3CO(g) → 2Fe(s) + 3CO₂(g)
in order to determine empirical formula we have to determine the mole ratio of the given elements
Let the total mass of the compound is 100g
as given that the compound has 40% sulfur , so mass of sulfur = 40g
as given that the compound has 60% oxygen, so mass of oxygen = 60g
let us calculate the moles of each element
Moles of sulfur = mass / atomic mass = 40 / 32 = 1.25
moles of oxygen = mass / atomic mass = 60/ 16 = 3.75
In order to get simple ratio of moles we will divide both the moles with least number of moles which is 1.25
moles of sulfur = 1.25 / 1.25 = 1
moles of oxygen = 3.75 /1.25 = 3
So empirical formula will be SO₃
C. a scientific approach to answering questions
Answer:
Check the image above
explanation:
When naming organic compounds based on IUPAC; we take note of functional group, position of functional group.
In 2,3,4-trimethyl-3-heptanol, the functional group is hydroxyl group ( OH ). It is on position 3 (2,3,4-trimethyl<u>-</u><u>3</u><u>-</u>heptanol. Then we put it on the third carbon. Another functional group is methyl group, with three positions, 2, 3, and 4.
In 4-ethyl-4-octanol, the functional group is hydroxyl group ( OH ) which is in position 4 on the fourth carbon. Another functional group is ethyl group in position 4 on the fourth carbon. In this case, the functional groups that have same position, are put on that same carbon.
