Answer:

Empirical formula is C₂H₆O.

Explanation:

Empirical formula:

It is the simplest formula gives the ratio of atoms of different elements in small whole number

Given data:

Percentage of hydrogen = 13.3%

Percentage of carbon = 52.0%

Percentage of oxygen = 34.7%

Empirical formula = ?

Molecular formula = ?

Solution:

Number of gram atoms of H = 13.3 / 1.01 = 13 .17

Number of gram atoms of O = 34.7 / 16 = 2.17

Number of gram atoms of C = 52.0 / 12 = 4.3

Atomic ratio:

            C                     :          H             :           O

           4.3/2.17            :     13.17/2.17     :       2.17/2.17

            2                      :        6               :        1

C : H : O = 2 : 6 : 1

Empirical formula is C₂H₆O.

Molecular formula:

Molecular formula = n (empirical formula)

n = molar mass of compound / empirical formula mass

n = 46 / 158

The relative molecular mass of compound is not correct.

Mixing sand and salt is it a chemical or physical change​
defon

Answer:

Mixing of salt is physical change.

Explanation:

Mixing of salt is physical change because no chemical reaction occur between them. Sand is non polar while salt is polar.

Physical Change:                                                                                              

The changes that occur only due to change in shape or form but their chemical or internal composition remain unchanged.

These changes were reversible.

They have same chemical property.

These changes can be observed with naked eye.

Chemical change:

The changes, that occur due to change in the composition of a substance and result in a different compound is known as chemical change.

These changes are irreversible

These changes occur due to chemical reactions

These may not be observed with naked eye

A student obtains a beaker containing a solution that is determined to have a hydrogen ion
OleMash [197]

Answer:

pH = 13.1

Basic

Explanation:

Step 1: Given data

Hydrogen ion concentration ([H⁺]): 6.7 × 10⁻¹⁴ M

Step 2: Calculate the pH of the solution

We will use the definition of pH.

pH = -log [H⁺]

pH = -log 6.7 × 10⁻¹⁴ = 13.1

  • When pH < 7, the solution is acid.
  • When pH = 7, the solution is neutral.
  • When pH > 7, the solution is basic.

Since pH > 7, the solution is basic.

What is the overall energy transformation in a coal-fired power plant?.
polet [3.4K]

Answer: When coal is burned, chemical potential energy is transformed into thermal energy, light energy, and sound energy. Only the thermal energy is used for electricity production. Light and sound energy dissipate into the environment, immediately reducing efficiency.

Hope this helps.
