Answer:

C2H5NO

Explanation:

constituent elements                    N              O               C                H

Mass composition                     0.420        0.480         0.540         0.135

mole ratio                                   0.42/14       0.48/16      0.54/12         0.135/1

                                              = 0.03                0.03             0.045         0.135

dividing by the smallest           0.03/0.03     0.03/0.03    0.045/0.03 0.135/0.03

ratio                                      =        1                      1                1.5                 4.5

                                             =        1                      1                  2                   5

EMPERICAL FORMULA = C2H5NO

Which of the following is a balanced equation?<br><br>Select one:<br>a. A<br>b. B<br>c. C<br>d. D​
Phantasy [73]

Answer:

B

Explanation:

Balanced equations have the same number of elements on both sides. If the number of elements are equal to each other for every element in the equation on both sides, then the equation is balanced.

Important concept : The big number before an element or compound represents how many molecules of that compound or element there are in a reaction. To find the number of atoms of each element you multiply the coefficient by the subscript ( small number ) which represents the number of atoms of that element in each molecule. Ex. 3H2O. There is a coefficient of 3 meaning that there are 3 molecules of H2O. There is a subscript after H meaning there are 2 atoms of hydrogen in each molecule. To find the total number of atoms we multiply the subscript of hydrogen by the coefficient of the whole molecule. 3 * 2 = 6 , so there are a total of 6 atoms of hydrogen in 3H2O

A) Cu + 2AgNO3 ==> CuNO3 + 2Ag

                    1   Cu  1

                    2   Ag  2

                     2   N  1

                     3  O   3

The amount of nitrogen atoms is different on both sides of the equation therefore this is not a balanced equation

B) CCl4 + O2 ==> CO2 + 2Cl2

                     1  C  1

                     4  Cl  4

                     2  O  2

The number of atoms of each element is the same on both sides of the equation therefore this is the balanced equation, however lets check the other answer choices just in case.

C)  2K + H2SO4 ==> K2SO4 + 2H2

                        2  K   2

                        1   H   4

                        1   S    1

                        4  O   4

The number of Hydrogen atoms are different on each side of the equation therefore this is not a balanced equation.

D) 2Al2O3 ==> 2Al + 3O2

              4  Al  2

              6  O  6
There are a different amount of aluminum atoms on both sides of the equation therefore this is not a balanced equation.

If the pressure in the room is 759.2 torr and the vapor pressure of water is 23.8 torr, what is the pressure of hydrogen gas in
Gwar [14]

The partial pressure of Hydrogen gas can directly be calculated by simply taking the difference of the overall pressure and the vapour pressure of water. That is:

 

P (H2 gas) = 759.2 torr – 23.8 torr

<span>P (H2 gas) = 735.4 torr</span>

Use the IUPAC nomenclature rules to give the name for Mg(ClO4)2
Makovka662 [10]

Answer:

The answer to your question is Magnesium Perchlorate

Explanation:

IUPAC Rules to name ternary salts of chlorine

1.- Ternary salts use prefixes and suffixes it depends on the number of oxygens they have.

Example

Metal + Chlorine + 1 oxygen =  Name of the metal + hipo chlor + ite

Metal + Chlorine + 2 oxygens = Name of the metal + chlor + ite

Metal + Chlorine + 3 oxygens = Name of the metal + chlor + ate

Metal + Chlorine + 4 oxygens = Name of the metal + per + chlor + ate

For this compound the name is  Magnesium Perchlorate.
