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.

When the fish-tank water has a pH of 8.0, the hydronium ion concentration is 1.0 × 10-8 mole per liter. What is the hydronium io
Oduvanchick [21]
You must know and use the formula for pH.


pH = - log [H3O+], where [H3O+] is the molar concentration of hydronium ion.


So, when pH is 8.0 => 8.0 = - log [H3O+] and you can use antilogarithm (the inverse function of logarithm) to find [H3O+], in this way:


[H3O+] = 10^-8 = 1 * 10 ^-8 M


When, pH = 7.0 =>

7.0 = - log [H3O+] => [H3O+] = 1 * 10^ -7 M


Answer: 1*10^-7 mole / liter

What is a Control trial
AleksandrR [38]
It is a trial aimed to reduce bias during an experiment. An example would be a sugar pill, something that has no real effect so that the results of the true trial can accurately be compared. Its like a control group.
