I believe here is the right question, so will just ignore the rest of the junk information from the previous message

The compound known as butylated hydroxytoluene, abbreviated as BHT, contains carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. A 3.001 g sample of BHT was combusted in an oxygen rich environment to produce 8.990 g of CO2(g) and 2.944 g of H2O(g). Insert subscripts below to appropriately display the empirical formula of BHT

Answer:

C_{15}H_{24}0

Explanation:

A 3.001 g sample of BHT was combusted in an oxygen rich environment to produce 8.990 g of CO2(g) and 2.994 g of H2O(g).

If all the carbon in BHT is present in CO_2 and also, all the hydrogen in BHT is  present in H_2O, Then we can determine for the corresponding numbers of moles of Carbon(C) and Hydrogen (H) respectively as:

moles of  CO_2 = 8.990 g*(\frac{1mole}{44.01g})

                       =  0.2043 moles

∴ moles of C =  0.2043 moles

moles of H_2O = 2.944 g *(\frac{1mole}{18.01g} )

                       = 0.1635 moles

∴ moles of H = 2 × 0.1635 moles

                      = 0.327 moles

Since number of moles= \frac{mass}{molarmass}

number of moles of H =  0.327 moles

molar mass of H = 1.008 g/mol

∴  mass of H in the sample = 0.327 moles × 1.008 g/mol

                                             = 0.329616g

                                             

mass of C in the sample can be calculated as = 0.2043 moles × (\frac{12.01g}{1 mole} )

= 2.453643 g

mass of C+H in the sample = 2.453643g + 0.329616g

= 2.783259 g

mass of O can be calculated as = 3.001 g - 2.783259 g

= 0.217741 g

∴ moles of O = 0.217741g × (\frac{1mole}{16.0g})

= 0.0136 moles

Now, since; we've gotten our data, we can now proceed to calculate for the empirical formula.

C                                          H                                    O

0.2043                                0.327                             0.0136

Dividing by the least number (0.0136) , we have :

\frac{0.2043}{0.0136}                                     \frac{0.327}{0.0136}                               \frac{0.0136}{0.0136}

15.02                                      24.04                             1

≅

15                                             24                                  1

Therefore, the empirical formula would be : C_{15}H_{24}0

The vapor pressure of substance X is 100. mm Hg at 1080.°C. The vapor pressure of substance X increases to 600. mm Hg at 1220.°C
artcher [175]

Explanation:

The given data is as follows.

         P_{1} = 100 mm Hg or \frac{100}{760}atm = 0.13157 atm

         T_{1} = 1080 ^{o}C = (1080 + 273) K = 1357 K

         T_{2} = 1220 ^{o}C = (1220 + 273) K = 1493 K

         P_{2} = 600 mm Hg or \frac{600}{760}atm = 0.7895 atm

          R = 8.314 J/K mol

According to Clasius-Clapeyron equation,

                   log(\frac{P_{2}}{P_{1}}) = \frac{\Delta H_{vap}}{2.303R}[\frac{1}{T_{1}} - \frac{1}{T_{2}}

            log(\frac{0.7895}{0.13157}) = \frac{\Delta H_{vap}}{2.303 \times 8.314 J/mol K}[\frac{1}{1357 K} - \frac{1}{1493 K}]

          log (6) = \frac{\Delta H_{vap}}{19.147}[\frac{(1493 - 1357) K}{1493 K \times 1357 K}]

                0.77815 = \frac{\Delta H_{vap}}{19.147J/K mol} \times 6.713 \times 10^{-5} K

              \Delta H_{vap} = 2.219 \times 10^{5} J/mol

                                   = 2.219 \times 10^{5}J/mol \times 10^{-3}\frac{kJ}{1 J}

                                    = 221.9 kJ/mol

Thus, we can conclude that molar heat of vaporization of substance X is 221.9 kJ/mol.

When two 1s hydrogen atoms combine to form h2, the bond formed is:?
