How do you find the molecular formula from the empirical formula?

To find them you would have numbers of the elements in percentage or grams then you divide them by their molar mass to get their moles. From there you divide by the smallest number. Round it to two or one sig fig. If you have a number that is for ex. 2.5 you multiply it by 2 to make it whole as well the other whole numbers. Then to find the molecular formula the problem must give you another molar mass and using your empirical formula convert it to its molar mass then you divide them, larger number over smaller number. You should get a number round it to 1 sig fig. Now you use that number and multiply the subscripts on the empirical formula to get the molecular formula.

What is the acceleration object velocity of +25m/s to rest in 5.0 s

Irina-Kira [14]

The average acceleration is -5.0 m·s⁻².

The formula for acceleration (<em>a</em>) is

$a = \frac{v_{f}- v_{i}}{t}$

$v_{f}$ = 25 m·s⁻¹; $v_{i}$ = 0; $t$ = 5.0 s

∴ $a = \frac{0-25}{5.0}$ = -5.0 m·s⁻²

The negative sign tells you that the object is <em>slowing down</em>, i.e., it is <em>decelerating</em>.

If 25 mL of a HCl solution of unknown concentration was neutralized with 10 mL of a 0.30 M NaOH solution, what was the original

QveST [7]

Answer:

0.12 M

Explanation:

Step 1: Write the balanced equation

NaOH + HCl ⇒ NaCl + H₂O

Step 2: Calculate the reacting moles of NaOH

10 mL of a 0.30 M NaOH solution react.

$0.010L \times \frac{0.30mol}{L} = 3.0 \times 10^{-3} mol$

Step 3: Calculate the reacting moles of HCl

The molar ratio of NaOH to HCl is 1:1. The reacting moles of HCl are 1/1 × 3.0 × 10⁻³ mol = 3.0 × 10⁻³ mol.

Step 4: Calculate the concentration of HCl

3.0 × 10⁻³ mol of HCl are in 25 mL of solution.

$M = \frac{3.0 \times 10^{-3} mol}{0.025L} = 0.12 M$
