Answer:

THE EMPIRICAL FORMULA OF THE SUBSTANCE IS C2H5NO

Explanation:

The steps involved in calculating the empirical formula of this substance in shown in the table below:

Element                            Carbon           Hydrogen          Nitrogen         Oxygen

1. % Composition              40.66              8.53                 23.72                27.09

2. Mole ratio =

%mass/ atomic mass       40.66/12         8.53/1          23.72/14            27.09/16

                                       =  3.3883            8.53              1,6943             1.6931

3. Divide by smallest

value (0.6931)          3.3883/1.6931    8.53/1.6931    1.6943/1.6931   1.6931/1.6931

                               =      2.001                  5.038           1.0007                      1

4. Whole number ratio        2                       5                   1                               1

The empirical formula = C2H5NO

A particular radioactive nuclide has a half-life of 1000 years. What percentage of an initial population of this nuclide has dec
Delicious77 [7]

Answer:

91.16% has decayed & 8.84% remains

Explanation:

A = A₀e⁻ᵏᵗ => ln(A/A₀) = ln(e⁻ᵏᵗ) => lnA - lnA₀ = -kt => lnA = lnA₀ - kt

Rate Constant (k) = 0.693/half-life = 0.693/10³yrs = 6.93 x 10ˉ⁴yrsˉ¹

Time (t) = 1000yrs  

A = fraction of nuclide remaining after 1000yrs

A₀ = original amount of nuclide = 1.00 (= 100%)  

lnA = lnA₀ - kt

lnA = ln(1) – (6.93 x 10ˉ⁴yrsˉ¹)(3500yrs) = -2.426

A = eˉ²∙⁴²⁶ = 0.0884 = fraction of nuclide remaining after 3500 years

Amount of nuclide decayed = 1 – 0.0884 = 0.9116 or 91.16% has decayed.

The partial negative charge at one end of a water molecule is attracted to the partial positive
Neporo4naja [7]

Answer:

             Hydrogen Bond

Explanation:

                   Hydrogen bond interactions are formed between the hydrogen atom bonded to most electronegative atoms (i.e. F, O and N) of one molecule and most electronegative atom (i.e. F, O and N) of another molecule.

In this interaction the hydrogen atom has partial positive charge and electronegative atom has partial negative charge.

Britney added 0.05 moles of copper(II) nitrate solution to 0.1 moles of sodium hydroxide solution and
Rama09 [41]

The percent yield of copper hydroxide is 84%

<h3>Stoichiometry</h3>

From the question, we are to determine the percent yield of copper hydroxide

First, we will determine the theoretical mass

From the given balanced chemical equation, we have

Cu(NO₃)₂ + 2NaOH -- Cu(OH)₂ + 2NaNO₃

This means,

1 mole of copper(II) nitrate reacts with 2 moles of sodium hydroxide to produce 1 mole of copper hydroxide

Therefore,
0.05 mole of copper(II) nitrate reacts with 0.1 mole of sodium hydroxide to produce 0.05 mole of copper hydroxide

The theoretical number of moles of copper hydroxide that is produced is 0.05 mole

Now, for the theoretical mass

Using the formula,

Mass = Number of moles × Molar mass

Molar mass of copper hydroxide = 97.56 g/mol

Then,

Theoretical mass = 0.05 × 97.56

Theoretical mass of copper of hydroxide produced is = 4.878 g

Now, for the percent yield of copper hydroxide

Percent yield is given by the formula,

Percent\ yield = \frac{Actual\ yield}{Theoretical\ yield} \times 100\%

Then,

Percent\ yield\ of\ copper\ hydroxide= \frac{4.1}{4.878}\times 100\%

Percent\ yield\ of\ copper\ hydroxide= 84\%

Hence, the percent yield of copper hydroxide is 84%.

What is the freezing point of an aqueous 1.58 molal nacl solution?
Alina [70]
<span>Tf is the freezing point of the solution(the solvent plus solute). T*f is the freezing point of the pure solvent(without solute) i is the van't Hoff factor.It is approximately the number of particles in solution that are made for each particle of the solute that is placed into solution.Therefore, for nonelectrolytes, i = 1. Kf is the freezing point depression constant.For water, Kf = 1.86 Degree C/m, or 1.86 Degree C.kg/mol. Tf is -1.58 Degree C</span>
