Answer:

17. C_2 H_6 is not an empirical formula.

18. option A - The molecular formula can be a simple whole number multiple of the empirical formula.

Explanation:

17. C_2 H_6 is not an empirical formula. it is molecular formula of ethane.

Empirical formula of C_2 H_6 is CH_3

18. option A - The molecular formula can be a simple whole number multiple of the empirical formula.

If molecular formula can not be reduced to further than molecular formula to empirical formula.

Molecular formulas tell about number of atoms that each element has in a compound while empirical formulas tell about smallest proportion of elements in given compound

Answer: 17) d. $C_2H_6$

18. c. The empirical formula of a compound can be twice the molecular formula.

Explanation:

Molecular formula is the chemical formula which depicts the actual number of atoms of each element present in the compound.

Empirical formula is the simplest chemical formula which depicts the whole number of atoms of each element present in the compound.

To calculate the molecular formula, we need to find the valency which is multiplied by each element to get the molecular formula.

The equation used to calculate the valency is:

$n=\frac{\text{molecular mass}}{\text{empirical mass}}$

The empirical mass can be calculated from empirical formula and molar mass must be known.

17. Thus the empirical formula of $C_2H_6$ should be $CH_3$

18. The molecular formula will either be same as empirical formula or is a whole number multiple of empirical formula. Thus the empirical formula of a compound can never be twice the molecular formula.

\"Moving down group 2A (Alkaline Earth Metals), which element has the largest first ionization energy?\" Is the answer to this:

lesya692 [45]

Ionization energy is the energy required to remove the outermost electron from one mole of gaseous atom to produce 1 mole of gaseous in to produce a charge of 1. The greater the ionization energy, the greater is the chance f the electron to be removed from the nucleus. In this casse, Radium has the largest ionization energy.

How many moles are in 29.5 grams of Ax?

JulsSmile [24]

The number of moles present in 29.5 grams of argon is 0.74 mole.

The atomic mass of argon is given as;

Ar = 39.95 g/mole

The number of moles present in 29.5 grams of argon is calculated as follows;

39.95 g ------------------------------- 1 mole

29.5 g ------------------------------ ?

$= \frac{29.5}{39.95} \\\\= 0.74 \ mole$

Thus, the number of moles present in 29.5 grams of argon is 0.74 mole.

Can Air can be warmed or cooled by the surface below

suter [353]

I believe it can be warm because usually the surface below us is warm itself, causing the air to be warm as well. The temperature can vary as well

The theoretical yield of Cl2 from certain starting amounts of MnO2 and HCl was calculated as 60.25 g and 65.02 g, respectively.

user100 [1]

Answer:

c 43.38 g

Explanation:

The reaction between MnO2 and HCl can be represented by the following balanced equation:

MnO2 + HCl ---> Cl2 + MnCl2 + H2O

From the balanced equation, the theoretically required molar ratio of MnO2 to HCl is 1:1, therefore the yields would have been expected to be equal.

For the fact that HCl gives a higher yield (65.02g) than MnO2 (60.25g) according to the problem statement, HCl should be in excess, while the limiting reagent should be MnO2 .

Thus, the theoretical yield of Cl2 will be 60.25 g.

By definition, the percentage yield is given by

% Yield = (Actual Yield) / (Theoretical Yield),

This can be simplified to

Actual Yield = % Yield * Theoretical Yield

Plugging in the given values we have

Actual Yield = 72% * 60.25 = 43.38 g
