I think they stand for how many of that element there are and then they are the little numbers on the bottom right of the letters

Subscripts are the small numbers that tell us how many atoms are in a molecule, So in H2O it would be the 2

A rectangular block of solid carbon (graphite) floats at the interface of two immiscible liquids.

Sergio039 [100]

Explanation:

Let us take the volume of block is x.

Since, the block is floating this means that it is in equilibrium. Formula to calculate net force will be as follows.

$F_{net} = Buoyancy force(F_{b}) - weight force(w)$

Also, buoyancy force $(F_{b})$ = (volume submerged in water × density of water) + (volume in oil × density of oil)

$(F_{b})$ = $(0.592 V \times \rho) + (1 - 0.592)V \times 1000 g$

= $(0.592 V \times \rho + 408 V)$ g

As, W = V × density of graphite × g

It is given that density of graphite is $2.16 g/cm^{3}$ or 2160 $kg/m^{3}$ .

So, W = 2160 V g

$F_{net}$ = (0.592 V \rho + 408 V) g - 2160 V g = 0

$0.592 \rho$ = 1752

$\rho$ = 2959.46 $kg/m^{3}$ or 2.959 $g/cm^{3}$ is the density of oil.

It is given that mass of flask is 124.8 g.

Mass of 35.3 $cm^{3}$ oil = $35.3 \times 2.959$ 104.7 g

Hence, in second weighing total mass will be calculated as follows.

(124.8 + 104.7) g

= 229.27 g

Thus, we can conclude that in the second weighing mass is 229.27 g.

The empirical formula is the simplest formula of a chemical compound.

To find the empirical formula, we take the following steps;

Divide the percentage by mass of each element by its relative atomic mass.
Divide the quotient of each by the lowest value obtained instep 1 above
Write the result of step 2 above as the subscript following each atom.

1) O - 88.10/16, H - 11.190/1

O - 5.5, H - 11.19

O - 5.5/5.5, H - 11.19/5.5

O - 1, H - 2

Empirical formula = OH2

2) C - 41.368/12 H - 8.101/1, N - 32.162/14, O - 18.369/16

C - 3, H - 8, N - 2, O - 1

C - 3/1, H - 8/1 N - 2/1 O - 1/1

C - 3, H - 8, N - 2, O - 1

Empirical formula = C3H8N2O

To obtain the molecular formula where n = number of atoms of each element;

Molecular weight = 174.204 g/mol

[ 3(12) + 8(1) + 2(14) + 16]n = 174

n= 174/88

n = 2 (to the nearest whole number)

Hence, we have;

[C3H8N2O]2

The molecular formula is C6H16N4O2

3) C - 19.999/12, H - 6.713/1, N - 46.646/14, O - 26.641/16

C - 2, H - 7, N - 3, O - 2

C - 2/2, H - 7/2, N - 3/2, O - 2/2

C - 1, H - 4, N - 2, O - 1

Empirical formula - CH4N2O

How do I do molarity equations?

ipn [44]

To calculate the molarity of a solution, you divide the moles of solute by the volume of the solution expressed in liters. Note that the volume is in liters of solution and not liters of solvent. When a molarity is reported, the unit is the symbol M and is read as “molar”.
I hope this helped :)
