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

What is the vapor pressure (in mm Hg) of a solution of 17.5 g of glucose (C6H12O6) in 82.0 g of methanol (CH3OH) at 27∘C? The va
vichka [17]

Answer:

134.8 mmHg is the vapor pressure for solution

Explanation:

We must apply the colligative property of lowering vapor pressure, which formula is: P° - P' = P° . Xm

P° → Vapor pressure of pure solvent

P' → Vapor pressure of solution

Xm → Mole fraction for solute

Let's determine the moles of solute and solvent

17.5 g . 1 mol/180 g = 0.0972 moles

82 g . 1mol / 32 g = 2.56 moles

Total moles → moles of solute + moles of solvent → 2.56 + 0.0972 = 2.6572 moles

Xm → moles of solute / total moles = 0.0972 / 2.6572 = 0.0365

We replace the data in the formula

140 mmHg - P' = 140 mmHg . 0.0365

P' = - (140 mmHg . 0.0365 - 140mmHg)

P' = 134.8 mmHg

Atoms of arsenic (As) are often added to silicon (Si) in a process called doping to change the conductivity of the silicon. How
Basile [38]

Answer:

B.) An atom of arsenic has one more valence electron and more electron shells than an atom of silicon, so the conductivity decreases because the arsenic atom loses the electron.

Explanation:

Silicon is located in the 3rd row and 14th column in the periodic table. Arsenic is located in the 4th row and 15th column in the periodic table. This means that arsenic has one more valence electron than silicon. Since arsenic is located one row down from silicon, its valence electrons occupy higher energy orbitals.

Silicon maintains a crystal-like lattice structure. Each silicon atom is covalently connected to assume this shape. When silicon gains one extra electron from arsenic, it experiences n-type doping. This new electron is not tightly bound in the lattice structure. This allows it to move more freely and conduct more electricity. This can also be explained using band gaps. Silicon, which previously had an empty conduction band, now has one electron in this band. This lowers the band gap between the conduction and valence bands and increases conductivity.

Write equations to show whether the solubility of either of the following is affected by pH: (b) Hg₂(CN)₂.
nata0808 [166]

<u> Increasing pH will increase the solubility of the Hg2(CN)2 by shifting </u><u>equilibrium </u><u>to right side.</u>

What is the meaning of OH in chemistry?

The chemical group, ion, or radical OH that consists of one atom of hydrogen and one of oxygen and is neutral or negatively charged.

Hg2(CN)2 + 2OH-  ----> 2HgO(s) + 2HCN

adding OH- to the mercury(l) cyanide  will cause the formation of the solid HgO.

therefore increasing pH will increase the solubility of the Hg2(CN)2 by shifting equilibrium to right side.

What amount of heat absorbs 50 g of steel (ce = 0.115 cal / g. ° C) that

does its temperature vary by 25 ° C?

Answer:

143.75cal

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of steel  = 50g

Specific heat capacity of the steel  = 0.115cal/g°C

Temperature  = 25°C

Unknown:

Amount of heat = ?

Solution:

The amount of heat to cause this temperature change is dependent on mass and specific heat capacity of the substance.

  Amount of heat  = m C (ΔT)

m is the mass

c is the specific heat capacity

ΔT is the temperature change

 Now insert the parameters and solve;

  Amount of heat  = 50 x 0.115 x 25

  Amount of heat  = 143.75cal
