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.

Draw the structure(s) of all of the possible monochloro derivatives of 2,4-dimethylpentane, c7h15cl.
pishuonlain [190]

The monochloroderivatives will be obtained by substituting chemically non equivalent hydrogen with chlorine atom, one by one

So the possible monochloro derivatives of 2,4-dimethylpentane (figure 1) are shown in figure (2)

C. Chemical energy. What is the difference in chemical energy between organic and inorganic
Olenka [21]
There are chief differences between organic and inorganic compounds. ... The main difference is in the presence of a carbon atom; organic compounds will contain a carbon atom (and often a hydrogen atom, to form hydrocarbons), while almost all inorganic compounds do not contain either of those two atoms.

For a particular isomer of C 8 H 18 , C8H18, the combustion reaction produces 5104.1 kJ 5104.1 kJ of heat per mole of C 8 H 18 (
vlada-n [284]

Answer:

The standard enthalpy of formation of this isomer of octane is -220.1 kJ/mol

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

The combustion reaction of octane produces 5104.1 kJ per mol octane

Step 2: The balanced equation

C8H18(g) + 12.5 O2 ⟶ 8CO2 (g) + 9 H2O (g)  ∆H°rxn = -5104.1 kJ/mol

Step 3:

∆H°rxn = ∆H°f of products minus the ∆H° of reactants

∆H°rxn = ∆H°f products - [∆H°f reactants]

-5104.1 kJ/mol = (8*∆H°fCO2 + 9*∆H°fH20) - (∆H°fC8H18 + 12.5∆H°fO2)

∆H°f C8H18 = ∆H°f 8CO2 + ∆H°f 9H2O+ 5104.1 kJ/mol

∆H°f C8H18 = 8 * (-393.5 kJ)/mol + 9 * (-241.8 kJ/mol)] + 5104.1 kJ /mol

∆H°f C8H18 = -220.1 kJ/mol

The standard enthalpy of formation of this isomer of octane is -220.1 kJ/mol
