Answer:

Molecular formula = C₅H₁₀O₄

Explanation:

Given data:

Percentage of hydrogen = 7.52%

Percentage of carbon = 44.77%

Percentage of oxygen = 47.71%

Molecular formula = ?

Solution:

Number of gram atoms of H = 7.52 / 1.01 = 7.445

Number of gram atoms of O = 47.71 / 16 = 2.982

Number of gram atoms of C = 44.77/ 12 = 3.731

Atomic ratio:

            C                      :      H                     :         O

           3.731/2.982      :     7.445/2.982    :       2.982/2.982

                1.25              :           2.5              :        1

C : H : O = 1.25 : 2.5 : 1

C : H : O = 4(1.25 : 2.5 : 1 )

Empirical formula is C₅H₁₀O₄

Molecular formula:

Molecular formula = n (empirical formula)

n = molar mass of compound / empirical formula mass

Empirical formula mass  = 5×12 + 10×1.01 + 4×16 = 134.1

n = 134.13/ 134.1

n = 1

Molecular formula = n (empirical formula)

Molecular formula = 1 (C₅H₁₀O₄)

Molecular formula = C₅H₁₀O₄

Silver is a white metal that is an excellent conductor. Silver tarnishes when exposed to air and light. The density of silver is
Stells [14]

Answer:

c tarnishes in air

Explanation:

After silver has been exposed to air that contains sulphur gases, discoloration would occur. there would be darkening that is caused by the reaction with gases.When any silver object tarnishes, it brings about a disfiguring of that object. Hydrogen sulphide would be needed for this to happen. silver sulphide is black and a if a thin layer should form on any surface, it ill darken it. This  is what we refer to as tarnishing.

Electronegativity is a measure of an atom’s affinity for electrons. Which of the following statements is true? Electronegativity
jekas [21]

Answer: Electronegativity increases as the size of an atom decrease.

Explanation: Electronegativity is the measure of the ability of an atom in a bond to attract electrons to itself.

Electronegativity increases across a period and decreases down a group.

Towards the left of the table, valence shells are less than half full, so these atoms (metals) tend

to lose electrons and have low electronegativity. Towards the right of the table, valence shells are more than half full, so these atoms (nonmetals) tend to gain electrons and have high electronegativity.

Down a group, the number of energy levels (n) increases, and so does the distance between the nucleus and the outermost orbital. The increased distance and the increased shielding weaken the nuclear attraction, and so an atom can’t attract electrons as strongly.

I need help with my homework.Calculate the number of formula units in: 41.5 grams CaBr2
lana66690 [7]

Answer:

\text{ }1.25\times10^{23}\text{ formula units}

Explanation:

Here, we want to calculate the number of formula units in the given molecule

We start by getting the number of moles

To get the number of moles, we have to divide the mass given by the molar mass

The molar mass is the mass per mole

The molar mass of calcium bromide is 200 g/mol

Thus, we have the number of moles as follows:

\frac{41.5}{200}\text{ = 0.2075 mol}

The number of formula units in a mole is:

1\text{ mole = 6.02 }\times10^{22}\text{ formula units}

The number of formula units in 0.2075 mole will be:

0.2075\text{ }\times6.02\times10^{23}\text{ = }1.25\times10^{23}\text{ formula units}
