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

1. Starting with 9.3 moles of O 2 , how many moles of H 2 S will be needed and how many moles of SO 2 will
enyata [817]

Answer:

Moles of H₂S needed = 6.2 mol

Moles of SO₂ produced = 6.2 mol

Explanation:

Given data:

Number of moles of O₂ = 9.3 mol

Moles of H₂S needed = ?

Moles of SO₂ produced = ?

Solution:

Chemical equation:

2H₂S + 3O₂      →    2SO₂ + 2H₂O

Now we will compare the moles of oxygen with H₂S.

                  O₂             :           H₂S

                    3             :             2

                   9.3            :         2/3×9.3 = 6.2 mol

Now we will compare the moles of SO₂ with both reactant.

                   O₂             :            SO₂

                    3              :               2

                   9.3            :         2/3×9.3 = 6.2 mol      

                 H₂S             :            SO₂

                    2              :               2

                   6.2            :          6.2 mol      

So 6.2 moles of  SO₂ are produced.

A 32.4 L gas sample at STP is compressed to a volume of 28.4 L, and the temperature is increased to 352 K. What is the new press
Sindrei [870]

Answer:

1.47 atm

Explanation:

Step 1: Given data

  • Initial volume (V₁): 32.4 L
  • Initial pressure (P₁): 1 atm (standard pressure)
  • Initial temperature (T₁): 273 K (standard temperature)
  • Final volume (V₂): 28.4 L
  • Final pressure (P₂): ?
  • Final temperature (T₂): 352 K

Step 2: Calculate the final pressure of the gas

We can calculate the final pressure of the gas using the combined gas law.

P₁ × V₁ / T₁ = P₂ × V₂ / T₂

P₂ = P₁ × V₁ × T₂ / T₁ × V₂

P₂ = 1 atm × 32.4 L × 352 K / 273 K × 28.4 L = 1.47 atm

Calculate the density of an object with a mass of 6.147 and a volume of 9.3 (include units)
Olin [163]
Here is the formula for density:
Density (D) = Mass (M) divided by Volume (V)

So you would do D = 6.147 divided by 9.3

As an as answer you would get: 0.6609677419g/cm^3

Additional information:

The formula for volume is:
V = M divided by D


The formula for Mass is:
M = D times V


I hope this helps :)
