Answer:

Magnesium oxide

Explanation:

The substance which undergoes combustion is said to be combustible.It is called fuel. If a magnesium ribbon is heated,it starts burning. When a magnesium ribbon burns,it combines with the oxygen of air to form magnesium oxide,and liberates heat and light.

What substance is present in a solution consisting solely of electrolytes?

Debora [2.8K]

Electrolytes are substances which are capable of producing a solution that has the ability to conduct electricity. These electrolytes are formed from the dissociation of salts into ions. The positive ions are named cations while the negative ions are termed anions.

Hence, the answer to these item is SALT. Salt are substances produced by the reaction of cations and anions.

A 5.325g sample of methyl benzoate, a compound in perfumes , was found to contain 3.758 g of carbon, 0.316 g of hydrogen, and 1.

Alexxandr [17]

<u>Answer:</u> The empirical and molecular formula of the compound is $C_4H_4O$ and $C_8H_8O_2$ respectively

<u>Explanation:</u>

We are given:

Mass of C = 3.758 g

Mass of H = 0.316 g

Mass of O = 1.251 g

To formulate the empirical formula, we need to follow some steps:

<u>Step 1:</u> Converting the given masses into moles.

Moles of Carbon = $\frac{\text{Given mass of Carbon}}{\text{Molar mass of Carbon}}=\frac{3.758g}{12g/mole}=0.313moles$

Moles of Hydrogen = $\frac{\text{Given mass of Hydrogen}}{\text{Molar mass of Hydrogen}}=\frac{0.316g}{1g/mole}=0.316moles$

Moles of Oxygen = $\frac{\text{Given mass of oxygen}}{\text{Molar mass of oxygen}}=\frac{1.251g}{16g/mole}=0.078moles$

<u>Step 2:</u> Calculating the mole ratio of the given elements.

For the mole ratio, we divide each value of the moles by the smallest number of moles calculated which is 0.078 moles.

For Carbon = $\frac{0.313}{0.078}=4.01\approx 4$

For Hydrogen = $\frac{0.316}{0.078}=4.05\approx 4$

For Oxygen = $\frac{0.078}{0.078}=1$

<u>Step 3:</u> Taking the mole ratio as their subscripts.

The ratio of C : H : O = 4 : 4 : 1

The empirical formula for the given compound is $C_4H_4O$

For determining the molecular formula, we need to determine the valency which is multiplied by each element to get the molecular formula.

The equation used to calculate the valency is:

$n=\frac{\text{Molecular mass}}{\text{Empirical mass}}$

We are given:

Mass of molecular formula = 130 g/mol

Mass of empirical formula = 68 g/mol

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$n=\frac{130g/mol}{68g/mol}=1.9\approx 2$

Multiplying this valency by the subscript of every element of empirical formula, we get:

$C_{(2\times 4)}H_{(2\times 4)}O_{(2\times 2)}=C_8H_8O_2$

Hence, the empirical and molecular formula of the compound is $C_4H_4O$ and $C_8H_8O_2$ respectively
