The empirical formula is the same as the molecular formula : C₁₀H₅O₂
<h3>Further explanation</h3>
Given
Molecular formula : C₁₀H₅O₂
Required
The empirical formula
Solution
The empirical formula (EF) is the smallest comparison of atoms of compound forming elements.
The molecular formula (MF) is a formula that shows the number of atomic elements that make up a compound.
(empirical formula) n = molecular formula
<em>(EF)n=MF
</em>
(EF)n = C₁₀H₅O₂
If we divide by the number of moles of Oxygen (the smallest) which is 2 then the moles of Hydrogen will be a decimal number (not whole), which is 2.5, then the empirical formula is the same as the molecular formula
Answer:
Number of molecules = 1.8267×10^20
Explanation:
From the question, we can deuced that the gases behave ideally, the we can make use of the ideal gas equation, which is expressed below;
PV = nRT
where
P =pressure
V =volume
n = the number of moles
R is the gas constant equal to 0.0821 L·atm/mol·K
T is the absolute temperature
Given:
P = 6.75 atm;
T = 290.0 k,
; V = 1.07 cm³ = 0.001 L
( 6.75 atm)(0.00107 L) = n(0.0821 L·atm/mol·K)(290K)
n = 3.0335167*10^-4 moles
But there are 6.022×10²³ molecules in 1 mole,
Number of molecules = 1.8267×10^20
As I understand from your question, we should synthesize nickel sulfate first from nickel (II) oxide and sulfuric acid and second from nickel carbonate and sulfuric acid.
The chemical reactions will look like this:
NiO (s) + H₂SO₄ (aq) → NiSO₄ (aq) + H₂O (l)
NiCO₃ (aq)* + H₂SO₄ → NiSO₄ (aq) + H₂CO₃ (aq)
but carbonic acid will decompose to carbon dioxide and water
H₂CO₃ (aq) → CO₂ (g) + H₂O (l)
(*) NiCO₃ has a poor solubility in water, but enough to start the reaction.
Answer:
This is a pretty straightforward example of how an ideal gas law problem looks like.
Your strategy here will be to use the ideal gas law to find the pressure of the gas, but not before making sure that the units given to you match those used by the universal gas constant.
So, the ideal gas law equation looks like this

Notice that the temperature of the gas must be expressed in Kelvin in order to work, so make sure that you convert it before plugging it into the ideal gas law equation

The answer is rounded to two sig figs, the number of sig figs you have for the temperature of the gas.
