<h3>Answer:</h3>

                The two possible compounds are;

                            1) Dimethyl Ether H₃C--O--CH₃

                           2) Ethanol  H₃C--CH₂--OH

<h3>Solution:</h3>

Step 1: Calculate Moles of each Element;

                      Moles of C  =  %C ÷ At.Mass of C

                      Moles of C  =  52.14 ÷ 12.01

                      Moles of C  =  4.341 mol


                      Moles of H  =  %H ÷ At.Mass of H

                      Moles of H  =  13.13 ÷ 1.01

                      Moles of H  =  13.00 mol


                      Moles of O  =  %O ÷ At.Mass of O

                      Moles of O  =  34.73 ÷ 16.0

                      Moles of O  =  2.170 mol

Step 2: Find out mole ratio and simplify it;

                C                                        H                                     O

            4.341                                 13.00                              2.170

     4.341/2.170                      13.00/2.170                    2.170/2.170

               2                                      5.99                                    1

               2                                        6                                       1

Hence,  Empirical Formula  =  C₂H₆O

<h3>Result:</h3>

         As the molecular mass of compound is not given therefore, we can assume and guess the empirical formula to be the molecular formula. Hence, possible compounds are,

                            1) Dimethyl Ether H₃C--O--CH₃

                           2) Ethanol  H₃C--CH₂--OH

Uranium has three common isotopes. If the abundance of 234U is 0.0054%, the abundance of 235U is 0.7204% and the abundance of 23
OlgaM077 [116]

Answer:

237.9 amu

Explanation:

Given data:

Abundance of U-234 = 0.0054 %

Abundance of  U-235 = 0.7204%

Abundance of  U-238 = 99.2742%

Average atomic mass = ?

Solution:

Average atomic mass = (abundance of 1st isotope × its atomic mass) +(abundance of 2nd isotope × its atomic mass) + (abundance of 3rd isotope × its atomic mass  / 100

Average atomic mass = (0.0054×234)+(0.7204×235) +(99.2742×238)  /100

Average atomic mass =  1.2636+ 169.294+ 23627.2596 / 100

Average atomic mass = 23797.8172/ 100

Average atomic mass = 237.9 amu.

From the data table given, calculate the missing quantity
ololo11 [35]

<u>Answer:</u> The initial volume of the gas is 16.55 mL

<u>Explanation:</u>

To calculate the final temperature of the system, we use the equation given by Charles' Law. This law states that volume of the gas is directly proportional to the temperature of the gas at constant pressure.

Mathematically,

\frac{V_1}{T_1}=\frac{V_2}{T_2}

where,

V_1\text{ and }T_1 are the initial volume and temperature of the gas.

V_2\text{ and }T_2 are the final volume and temperature of the gas.

We are given:

V_1=?mL\\T_1=300K\\V_2=16mL\\T_2=290K

Putting values in above equation, we get:

\frac{V_1}{300K}=\frac{16mL}{290K}\\\\V_1=\frac{16\times 300}{290}=16.55mL

Hence, the initial volume of the gas is 16.55 mL

How many moles is 2. 2 grams of CO2?.
lorasvet [3.4K]

The number of moles of carbon dioxide is 0.05 mol.

A molecule of CO2 contains one carbon atom and two oxygen atoms. One mole of CO2 contains one mole of carbon atoms and two moles of oxygen atoms. The mass of one atomic mole of an element equals the atomic mass in grams, and the molecular mass of an element or compound equals the sum of the atomic masses of each type of its constituent atoms.

Therefore, the mass of one mole of a molecule of an element or compound equals its molecular weight in grams. The number of grams in moles depends on the substance you have. To calculate it, find the atomic or molecular mass of the substance and multiply it by the number of moles.
