Answer:

The negatively charged rod will force a stream of water away from the rod because of the "attractive force. "

Explanation:

As we know that water molecules have been randomly arranged. So when a negatively charged rod is put near the stream of water, the molecules present in the water start rotating, unless the positive side will be close to the negative side of the rod. Which results in the generation of the attraction force. Hence, the stream of the water forces away the negatively charged rod. When the water molecules have polarized molecules in it the effect will be stronger than the dust.

A compound contains 6.0 g of carbon and 1.0 g of hydrogen and has a molar mass of 42.0 g/mol.

makvit [3.9K]

Answer:

%C = 85.71 wt%; %H = 14.29 wt%; Empirical Formula => CH₂; Molecular Formula => C₃H₆

Explanation:

%Composition

Wt C = 6 g

Wt H = 1 g

TTL Wt = 6g + 1g = 7g

%C per 100wt = (6/7)100% = 85.71 wt%

%H per 100wt = (1/7)100% = 14.29 wt % or, %H = 100% - %C = 100% - 85.71% = 14.29 wt% H

What you should know when working empirical formula and molecular formula problems.

Empirical Formula=> smallest whole number ratio of elements in a compound

Molecular Formula => actual whole number ratio of elements in a compound

Empirical Formula Weight x Whole Number Multiple = Molecular Weight

From elemental %composition values given (or, determined as above), the empirical formula type problem follows a very repeatable pattern. This is ...

% => grams => moles => ratio => reduce ratio => empirical ratio

for determination of molecular formula one uses the empirical weight - molecular weight relationship above to determine the whole number multiple for the molecular ratios.

Caution => In some 'textbook' empirical formula problems, the empirical ratio may contain a fraction in the amount of 0.25, 0.50 or 0.75. If such an issue arises, multiply all empirical ratio numbers containing 0.25 and/or 0.75 by '4' to get the empirical ratio and multiply all empirical ration numbers containing 0.50 by '2' to get the final empirical ratio.

This problem:

Empirical Formula:

Using the % per 100wt values in part 'a' ...

% => grams => moles

%C => 85.71% => 85.71 g* / 100 g Cpd => (85.71 / 12) = 7.14 mol C

%H => 14.29% => 14.29 g / 100 g Cpd => (14.29 / 1) = 14.29 mol H

=> Set up mole Ratio and Reduce to Empirical Ratio:

mole ratio C:H => 7.14 : 14.29

To reduce mole values to the smallest whole number ratio, divide all mole values by the smaller mole value of the set.

=> 7.14/7.14 : 14.29/7.14 => Empirical Ration=> 1 : 2

∴ Empirical Formula => CH₂

Molecular Formula:

(Empirical Formula Wt)·N = Molecular Wt => N = Molecular Wt / Empirical Wt

N = 42 / 14 = 3 => multiply subscripts of empirical formula by '3'.

Therefore, the molecular formula is C₃H₆

write the overall rate law for the initial rate of the reaction as a fraction.

Rate=k(________/_________)

Answer:

The overall rate law for the initial reaction is = $k_{overall} [H_{2}SO_{4}]^{2} [C_{6}H_{6}]$

Explanation :

Frist of all, all the common terms are cancelled out and written the overall reaction.

As we know that the rate depednant step is the slowest step of the reaction, rate law is :

rate = $k_{2} [SO_{3}][C_{6}H_{6}]$

But the problem is that SO3 cannot be written in the overall rate law because it is an intermediate.

Rate law for synthesis of S03 is as follows :

rate = $k_{1}[H_{2}SO_{4}]^{2}$

Hence when we substitute equation 2 in equation one,

Rate comes out to be = $k_{overall} [H_{2}SO_{4}]^{2} [C_{6}H_{6}]$
