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

1 answer:

7 0

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.

Explain how acid–base indicators can be used to determine the approximate pH of a substance.

mezya [45]

PH stands for potential hydrogen.
pH can be accurately tested using acid-based indicators since it is a part of the pH of something itself. (acid and bases) The indicators themselves work when the acidic properties of the indicator begins to dissolve and form ions which gives the color indicating the pH.

Calculate the % composition of the unknown liquid using your most precise result. It is a mixture of ethanol (D[ETOH] = 0.7890 g

Rufina [12.5K]

% composition of ethanol = 34.51%

% composition of water = 65.49%

<h3>What is density?</h3>

A material's density is defined as its mass per unit volume.

Given data:

The density of ethanol = 0.7890 g/mL

The density of water = 0.9982 g/mL

The density of mixture = 0.926 g/mL

Let the % composition of ethanol = x

Let the % composition of water = 100-x

Now density of the mixture

$\frac{Mass}{Volume}$

$Mass = \frac{percent \;of \;ethanol \;X \;density \;of \;ethanol \;+ \\ \;percent \;of \;water X \;density \;of \;water}{100}$

$0.926 = \frac{x X 0.7890 g/mL \;+ (100-x) X 0.9982 g/mL}{100}$

$x= 34.51$ %

Hence,

% composition of ethanol = 34.51%

% composition of water = 65.49%

Identify each of the following sets of quantum numbers as allowed or not allowed in the hydrogen atom.

Westkost [7]

Answer:

See explanation.

Explanation:

Hello there!

In this case, according to the given information, it turns out possible for us to firstly recall the electron configuration of hydrogen:

$1s^1$

To realize that the principal quantum number is 1, the angular is 0 as well as the magnetic one; therefore we infer that all the given n's are not allowed, just l=0 is allowed as well as ml=0 yet the rest, are not allowed.

Best regards!

N2-3H2 → 2NH3

aniked [119]

Answer:

6 mols H2 are needed

Explanation:

N2 = 28.01g/mol

H2 = 2.02g/mol

$\frac{2 mol N_{2} }{1}$ * $\frac{3 mol H_{2} }{ 1 mol N_{2} }$ = 6 mol H2
