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

The sample of 15.0 g of KCl is dissolved into a solution with a total volume of 250.0 mL. What is the molarity of KCl in the sol
lina2011 [118]

Answer:

0.805 M.

Explanation:

Hello!

In this case, since the molarity of a solution is computing by dividing the moles of solute over the volume of solution in liters (M=n/V), for 15.0 g of potassium chloride (74.55 g/mol) we compute the corresponding moles:

n=15.0gKCl*\frac{1molKCl}{74.55gKCl}=0.201molKCl

Next, since the volume is 0.2500 in liters, the molarity turns out:

M=\frac{0.201mol}{0.2500L} \\\\M=0.805M

Best regards!

If 125 ml of o2 gas exerts a pressure of 1.0 atm inside a cylinder, what will the pressure be if the cylinder compressed the vol
Lelu [443]
<h2>Hello!</h2>

The answer is: The new pressure is 1.67 atm.

<h2>Why?</h2>

From the statement, we know that the temperature remains constant and the gas volume is changing, meaning that the new pressure will be different than the first pressure.

Since the temperature remains constant, we can calculate the new pressure using the Boyle's Law.

The Boyle's Law states that:

P_{1}V_{1}=P_{2}V_{2}

Where,  

P is the pressure of the gas.

V is the volume of the gas.

Then, the given information is:

V_{1}=125ml=0.125L\\P_{1}=1atm\\V_{2}=75ml=0.075L

Remember, 1 L is equal to 1000 mL.

So,

125mL*\frac{1L}{1000mL}=\frac{125mL*1L}{1000mL}=0.125L\\\\75mL*\frac{1L}{1000mL}=\frac{75mL*1L}{1000mL}=0.075L

So, calculating the new volume, we have:

P_{1}V_{1}=P_{2}V_{2}\\\\1atm*0.125L=P_{2}*0.075L\\\\P_{2}=\frac{1atm*0.125L}{0.075l}=1.67atm

Hence, the new pressure is 1.67 atm.

Have a nice day!

A chemist wants to observe the following reaction:
stiv31 [10]

It take more energy to break the bonds of the reactants and less energy is given off when the product bonds are formed.

<h3>What is Energy?</h3>

Energy is defined as the ability to do work. Work is done in the breaking or formation of bonds.

The standard Enthalpy (ΔH) of water which was formed in the given reaction is negative.

ΔH= Δproduct - Δreactant

This means that the energy to break the bonds of the reactants is more.
