What is the molecular formula if the percent composition is 58.8C 9.8H 31.4O

You only can calculate the empirical formula with that information. I can not guarantee the empirical formula is going to be the same than the molecular formula. To be able to calculate the molecular formula you need the molecular mass or other information.

58.8/12= C = 4.9 => 4.9/1.96 = 2.5 => 2.5*2= 5
9.8/1= H = 9.8 => 9.8/1.96 = 5 => 5* 2= 10
31.4/16=O = 1.96 =>1.96/1.96 = 1 => 1*2 =2

empirical formula C5H10O2

At a festival, spherical balloons with a radius of 280. Cm are to be inflated with hot air and released. The air at the festival

Answer:

8608.18 balloons

Explanation:

Hello! Let's solve this!

Data needed:

Enthalpy of propane formation: 103.85kJ / mol

Specific heat capacity of air: 1.009J · g ° C

Density of air at 100 ° C: 0.946kg / m3

Density of propane at 100 ° C: 1.440kg / m3

First we will calculate the propane heat (C3H8)

3000g * (1mol / 44g) * (103.85kJ / mol) * (1000J / 1kJ) = 7.08068 * 10 ^ 6 J

Then we can calculate the mass of the air with the heat formula

Q = mc delta T

m = Q / c delta T = (7.08068 * 10 ^ 6 J) / (1.009J / kg ° C * (100-25) ° C) =

m = 93566.96kg

We now calculate the volume of a balloon.

V = 4/3 * pi * r ^ 3 = 4/3 * 3.14 * 1.4m ^ 3 = 11.49m ^ 3

Now we calculate the mass of the balloon

mg = 0.946kg / m3 * 11.49m ^ 3 = 10.87kg

The amount of balloons is

93566.96kg / 10.87kg = 8608.18 balloons

An electromagnetic wave has a wavelength of 0.12 meters. what is that in nanometers?

tino4ka555 [31]

Answer:

1.2 × 10⁸ m

Explanation:

You want to convert metres to nanometres.

Recall that the multiplying prefix nano- means × 10⁻⁹, so

1 nm = 1 × 10⁻⁹ m

The conversion factor is either $\frac{\text{1 nm} }{10^{-9} \text{m}}$ or $\frac{10^{-9} \text{m} }{\text{1 nm}}$ .

You choose the one that has the desired units (nm) on top. Then

$\lambda = \text{0.12 m} \times \frac{\text{1 nm} }{10^{-9} \text{m}} = 1.2 \times 10^{8} \text{ nm}$
