Answer: molecular formula = C12H16O8
Explanation:
NB Mm CO2= 44g/mol
Mm H2O= 18g/mol
Moles of CO2 = 36.86/44=0.84mol
0.84mole of CO2 has 0.84 mol of C
Moles of H2O = 10.06/18= 0.56mol
1mol of H20 contains 1mol of O and 2 mol H,
Hence there are 0.56mol O and (0.56×2)mol H
Hence the compound contains
C= 0.84 mol H= 1.12mol O=0.56mol
Divide through by smallest number
C= 0.83/0.56= 1.5mol
H= 1.12/0.55= 2mol
O= 0.56/0.56= 1mol
Multiply all by 2 to have whole number of moles = 3:4:2
Hence empirical formula= C3H4O2
(C3H4O2)n = 288.38
[(12×3) + 4+(16×2)]n= 288.38
72n=288.38
n= 4
:. Molecular formula=(C3H4O2)4= C12H16O8
Answer:
Option B. 6 atoms of carbon
Explanation:
In <u><em>any chemical reaction</em></u>, atoms from reactant side and product side must be the same.
This is photosynthesis reaction:
6CO₂ + 6H₂O → C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂
Chemical change happens when a substance combines with
another substance to form a new substance. It produces chemical reactions and
generally is not reversible except by further chemical reactions. Heat is sometimes
produced in some reactions. When chemical reactions occur, the atoms are
rearranged and an energy change happens along with it as new products are
generations. At a molecular level, chemical changes involves the making or
breaking of bonds between atoms. Some examples of chemical change are iron
rusting (iron oxide forms) and bread rising (yeast converts carbohydrates into
carbon dioxide gas).
