Answer:
C₃H₄O₄
Explanation:
In order to get the empirical formula of a compound, we have to follow a series of steps.
Step 1: Divide the percent by mass of each element by its atomic mass.
C: 34.6/12.01 = 2.88
H: 3.9/1.01 = 3.86
O: 61.5/16.00 = 3.84
Step 2: Divide all the numbers by the smallest one, i.e., 2.88
C: 2.88/2.88 = 1
H: 3.86/2.88 ≈ 1.34
O: 3.84/2.88 ≈ 1.33
Step 3: Multiply all the numbers by a number that makes all of them integer
C: 1 × 3 = 3
H: 1.34 × 3 = 4
O: 1.33 × 3 = 4
The empirical formula is C₃H₄O₄.
The answer to this problem is quite simple, it’s 9
Answer:
Choice A: approximately
.
Explanation:
Note that the unit of concentration,
, typically refers to moles per liter (that is:
.)
On the other hand, the volume of the two solutions in this question are apparently given in
, which is the same as
(that is:
.) Convert the unit of volume to liters:
.
.
Calculate the number of moles of
formula units in that
of the
solution:
.
Note that
(sulfuric acid) is a diprotic acid. When one mole of
completely dissolves in water, two moles of
ions will be released.
On the other hand,
(sodium hydroxide) is a monoprotic base. When one mole of
formula units completely dissolve in water, only one mole of
ions will be released.
ions and
ions neutralize each other at a one-to-one ratio. Therefore, when one mole of the diprotic acid
dissolves in water completely, it will take two moles of
to neutralize that two moles of
produced. On the other hand, two moles formula units of the monoprotic base
will be required to produce that two moles of
. Therefore,
and
formula units would neutralize each other at a two-to-one ratio.
.
.
Previous calculations show that
of
was produced. Calculate the number of moles of
formula units required to neutralize that
.
Calculate the concentration of a
solution that contains exactly
of
formula units:
.
Explanation:
Lime is an oxide of calcium(CaO). As a metallic oxide, it produces a basic solution when it reacts with water.
- The main reason why lime is added to lakes is to reduce acidity in the lake water.
Bottom muds in lakes are usually acidic and makes the water hypertonic. When lime is added, it reduces the pH of the water and causes acidity to reduce.
- Lime also helps to reduce the hardness of lake water to a good level.
- Lime also helps to release nutrients useful for photosynthesis of plants in the lake.
