Answer:

The molecular formula of the compound is C_6H_{12}O_6.

Explanation:

Let the molecular formula of the compound is C_xH_{y}O_z.in

Molar mass of compound = 180 g/mol

Number of carbon atom = x

Number of hydrogen atom = y

Number of oxygen atom = z

Atomic mass of carbon = 12 g/mol

Atomic mass of hydrogen = 1 g/mol

Atomic mass of oxygen = 16 g/mol

Percentage of element in compound :

=\frac{\text{number of atoms}\times \text{Atomic mass}}{\text{molar mas of compound}}\times 100

Carbon :

40.00\%\%=\frac{x\times 12g/mol}{180 g/mol}\times 100

x = 46

Hydrogen :

6.713\%=\frac{y\times 1 g/mol}{180 g/mol}\times 100

y = 12

Oxygen:

53.28\%=\frac{z\times 16 g/mol}{180 g/mol}\times 100

z = 5.99 ≈ 6

The molecular formula of the compound is C_6H_{12}O_6.

if i add 25 ml of water to 135 ml of a 0.25 M NaOH solution what will the molarity of the diluted solution be​
DENIUS [597]

Answer:

0.21 M. (2 sig. fig.)

Explanation:

The molarity of a solution is the number of moles of the solute in each liter of the solution. The unit for molarity is M. One M equals to one mole per liter.

How many moles of NaOH in the original solution?

n = c \cdot V,

where

  • n is the number of moles of the solute in the solution.
  • c is the concentration of the solution. c = 0.25 \;\text{M} = 0.25\;\text{mol}\cdot\textbf{L}^{-1} for the initial solution.
  • V is the volume of the solution. For the initial solution, V = 135\;\textbf{mL} = 0.135\;\textbf{L} for the initial solution.

n = c\cdot V = 0.25\;\text{mol}\cdot\textbf{L}^{-1} \times 0.135\;\textbf{L} = 0.03375\;\text{mol}.

What's the concentration of the diluted solution?

\displaystyle c = \frac{n}{V}.

  • n is the number of solute in the solution. Diluting the solution does not influence the value of n. n = 0.03375\;\text{mol} for the diluted solution.
  • Volume of the diluted solution: 25\;\text{mL} + 135\;\text{mL}  = 160\;\textbf{mL} = 0.160\;\textbf{L}.

Concentration of the diluted solution:

\displaystyle c = \frac{n}{V} = \frac{0.03375\;\text{mol}}{0.160\;\textbf{L}} = 0.021\;\text{mol}\cdot\textbf{L}^{-1} = 0.021\;\text{M}.

The least significant number in the question comes with 2 sig. fig. Keep more sig. fig. than that in calculations but round the final result to 2 sig. fig. Hence the result: 0.021 M.

On the reaction below, label the BSA, BSB, CA, and CB. CH3COOH + H2O → CH3COO– + H3O+
Ostrovityanka [42]

Answer:

Acid(BSA) = CH₃COOH

Base (BSB) = H₂O

Conjugate base (CB) = CH₃COO⁻

Conjugate acid (CA) = H₃O⁺

Explanation:

Equation of reaction;

CH₃COOH + H₂O → CH₃COO⁻ + H₃O⁺

Hello,

From my understanding of the question, we are required to identify the

1) Acid

2) Base

3) conjugate acid

4) conjugate base in the reaction

Acid (BSA) = CH₃COOH

Base (BSB) = H₂O

CA = conjugate acid = H₃O⁺

CB = conjugate base = CH₃COO⁻

Answer:

Energy is transferred from one object to another when a reaction takes place.

Explanation:

Energy comes in many forms and can be transferred from one object to another as heat, light, or motion, to name a few.  

The answer could be It is a well known fact that energy can neither be created and nor be destroyed but can be transformed from one form to another.

Now talking about your example in a typical light bulb electrical energy is converted into light energy and heat energy. Now when the electric current flows through the conductor/filament in the light bulb,this would cause vibrations and the free ions are more likely to go to an higher energy level,and when the ions come back to their original state,the difference in the two energy levels is usually emitted as a photon,thus light energy is obtained and the heat energy is the energy dissipated as a result of flow of electricity through the conductor.

Anything that gets transformed into light energy or in better words ElectroMagnetic Energy would be a result of this.

Calculate the enthalpy change, ∆H in kJ, for the reaction H2O(s) → H2(g) + 1/2O2(g). Use the following information: : +279.9 kJ
Len [333]

Answer:

+ 291.9 kJ

Solution:

The equation given is as;

H₂O ₍s₎ → H₂ ₍g₎ + 1/2 O₂ ₍g₎ ΔH = ?

First, as we know the heat of formation of H₂O ₍l₎ is,

H₂ ₍g₎ + 1/2 O₂ ₍g₎ → H₂O ₍l₎ ΔH = - 285.9 kJ

Now, reversing the equation will reverse the sign of heat as,

H₂O ₍l₎ → H₂ ₍g₎ + 1/2 O₂ ₍g₎ ΔH = + 285.9 kJ

Also, we know that,

H₂O ₍s₎ → H₂O ₍l) ΔH = + 6.0 kJ

Now, adding last two equations,

H₂O ₍l₎ → H₂ ₍g₎ + 1/2 O₂ ₍g₎ ΔH = + 285.9 kJ

H₂O ₍s₎ → H₂O ₍l) ΔH = + 6.0 kJ

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

H₂O ₍s₎ → H₂ ₍g₎ + 1/2 O₂ ₍g₎ ΔH = + 291.9 kJ
