Answer:

Empirical formula: CH₃O

Empirical formula mass = 31 g/mol

Explanation:

Data Given:

Molecular Formula = C₁₀H₃₀O₁₀

Empirical Formula = ?

Empirical Formula mass =

Solution

Empirical Formula:

Empirical formula is the simplest ration of atoms in the molecule but not all numbers of atoms in a compound.

So,

The ratio of the molecular formula should be divided by whole number to get the simplest ratio of molecule

As

C₁₀H₃₀O₁₀ Consist of  10 Carbon (C) atoms, 30 Hydrogen (H) atoms, and 10 Oxygen (O) atoms.

Now

Look at the ratio of these three atoms in the compound

                         C : H : O

                        10 : 30 : 10

Divide the ratio by two to get simplest ratio

                          C      :   H      :    O

                         10/10 : 30/10 : 10/10

                             1 : 3 : 1

So for the empirical formula the simplest ratio of carbon to hydrogen to oxygen is 1:3:1

So the empirical formula will be

                     Empirical formula of C₁₀H₃₀O₁₀ =  CH₃O

Now

To find the empirical formula mass in g/mol

Formula mass:

Formula mass is the total sum of the atomic masses of all the atoms present in a formula unit.

**Note:

if we represent the molar mass of the empirical formula for one mol in grams then it is written as g/mol

So,

As the empirical formula of C₁₀H₃₀O₁₀ is CH₃O

Then Its empirical formula mass will be

CH₃O

Atomic Mass of C = 12

Atomic Mass of H = 3

Atomic Mass of O = 16

Total Molar mass of CH₃O

CH₃O = 12 + 3(1) + 16

CH₃O = 12 + 3 + 16

CH₃O = 31 g/mol

How can the idea that different minerals are formed in different environments provide evidence for energy and matter cycling?
Drupady [299]

Answer:

The importance of crystal structure. The graphite-diamond mineral pair is an extreme example of the importance of crystal structure. These two very different minerals have exactly the same chemical formula (C), but the crystal structure of the two minerals is very different. In graphite, carbon atoms are bonded together along a flat plane, as shown in Figure 3.

Radda [10]

Answer:

-3135.47 kJ/mol

Explanation:

Step 1: Write the balanced equation

C₆H₆(l) + 7.5 O₂(g) ⇒ 6 CO₂(g) + 3 H₂O(g)

Step 2: Calculate the standard enthalpy change of the reaction (ΔH°r)

We will use the following expression.

ΔH°r = ∑np × ΔH°f(p) - ∑nr × ΔH°f(r)

where,

n: moles

ΔH°f: standard enthalpies of formation

p: products

r: reactants

ΔH°r = 6 mol × ΔH°f(CO₂(g)) + 3 mol × ΔH°f(H₂O(g)) - 1 mol × ΔH°f(C₆H₆(l)) - 7.5 mol × ΔH°f(O₂(g))

ΔH°r = 6 mol × (-393.51 kJ/mol) + 3 mol × (-241.82 kJ/mol) - 1 mol × (48.95 kJ/mol) - 7.5 mol × 0 kJ/mol

ΔH°r = -3135.47 kJ

Since this enthalpy change is for 1 mole of C₆H₆(l), we can express it as -3135.47 kJ/mol.
