<h3>Answer:</h3>

Empirical Formula = C₃H₈O₃

Molecular Formula = C₃H₈O₃

<h3>Solution:</h3>

Data Given:

Mass of Sample = 9.2 g

Mass of Carbon = 3.6 g

Mass of Hydrogen = 0.8 g

Mass of Oxygen = 9.2 - (3.6 + 0.8) = 4.8 g

Step 1: Calculate Moles of each Element;

Moles of C = Mass of C ÷ At.Mass of C

Moles of C = 3.6 ÷ 12.01

Moles of C = 0.2997 mol

Moles of H = Mass of H ÷ At.Mass of H

Moles of H = 0.8 ÷ 1.01

Moles of H = 0.7920 mol

Moles of O = Mass of O ÷ At.Mass of O

Moles of O = 4.8 ÷ 16.0

Moles of O = 0.3000 mol

Step 2: Find out mole ratio and simplify it;

C H O

0.2997 0.7920 0.3000

0.2997/0.2997 0.7920/0.2997 0.3000/0.2997

1 2.64 1.001

Multiply by 3,

3 7.92 ≈ 8 3

Hence, Empirical Formula = C₃H₈O₃

Step 3: Calculating Molecular Formula:

Molecular formula is calculated by using following formula,

Molecular Formula = n × Empirical Formula ---- (1)

Also, n is given as,

n = Molecular Weight / Empirical Formula Weight

Molecular Weight = 92 g.mol⁻¹

Empirical Formula Weight = 12 (C₃) + 1.01 (H₈) + 16 (O₃) = 92.08 g.mol⁻¹

So,

n = 92 g.mol⁻¹ ÷ 92 g.mol⁻¹

n = 1

Putting Empirical Formula and value of "n" in equation 1,

Molecular Formula = 1 × C₃H₈O₃

Molecular Formula = C₃H₈O₃

PLEASE HELP!!! NEED TO PASS THIS TO THE FIRST SEMESTER!

Cloud [144]

Answer:

Reaction 1 is balanced but 2 is not balanced , the balance equation are :

1. $CH_{3}COOH(aq) + NaHCO_{3}(aq)\rightarrow CO_{2}(g) + H_{2}O(l) + CH_{3}COONa(aq)$

2. $CaCl_{2}(aq) + 2NaHCO_{3}(aq)\rightarrow CaCO_{3}(aq) + H_{2}O(l) + 2NaCl(aq) + H_{2}O(aq)$

Explanation:

Balanced Equations : These are the equation which follows the law of conservation of mass .

The total number of atoms present in reactant is equal to total number of atoms present in product.

1. $CH_{3}COOH(aq) + NaHCO_{3}(aq)\rightarrow CO_{2}(g) + H_{2}O(l) + CH_{3}COONa(aq)$

This is acid - base type reaction where

$CH_{3}COOH(aq)$ act as Acid

$NaHCO_{3}(aq)$ act as weak base

Reactant : $CH_{3}COOH(aq)$ , $NaHCO_{3}$

Number of atoms of :

C = 2 ( $CH_{3}COOH(aq)$ ) + 1 ( $NaHCO_{3}$ )

= 2 + 1

= 3

H = 4( $CH_{3}COOH(aq)$ ) + 1 ( $NaHCO_{3}$ )

= 4 + 1

O = 2( $CH_{3}COOH(aq)$ ) + 3 ( $NaHCO_{3}$ )

= 5

Na = 1 ( $NaHCO_{3}$ )

= 1

Product : $CO_{2}(g)$ , $H_{2}O(l)$ , $CH_{3}COONa(aq)$

Number of atoms :

C = 1( $CO_{2}(g)$ ) + 2( $CH_{3}COONa(aq)$ )

= 1 + 2

= 3

H = 2( $H_{2}O(l)$ ) + 3( $CH_{3}COONa(aq)$ )

= 2 + 3

= 5

O = 1( $H_{2}O(l)$ ) + 2( $CH_{3}COONa(aq)$ )

+2( $CO_{2}(g)$

= 1 + 2 + 2

= 5

Na = 1( $CH_{3}COONa(aq)$

= 1

Number of Na =1 , C = 3 , H= 5 and O =5 in both reactant and product , so it is a balanced reaction

2. $CaCl_{2}(aq) + 2NaHCO_{3}(aq)\rightarrow CaCO_{3}(aq) + H_{2}O(l) + 2NaCl(aq) + CO_{2}(g)$

This is double displacement reaction .

Check the balancing in both reactant and products should be :

Na = 2

H = 2

Ca = 1

C = 2

O = 6

Cl = 2

How much of a sample remains after three half-lives have occurred? 1/16 of the original sample 1/9 of the original sample 1/8 of

Drupady [299]

For this question, assume that you have 1 compound. This compound is divided in half once, so you are left with 0.5. That 0.5 that remains is divided in half again, this is the second half-life, and you are left with 0.25. The final half life involves dividing 0.25 in half, which means you are left with 0.125. For the answer to make sense, you need to know your conversions between decimals and fractions. To make it simple, if you have 0.125 and you times it by 8, you are left with your initial value of 1. Therefore, after three half-lives, you are left with 1/8th of the compound.
