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

Phantasy [73]

Answer:

1.) At high altitude it takes longer to cook spaghetti.

Explanation:

The first even describes depression in boiling point due to reduction in external pressure . It is not a colligative property.

Depression of freezing  point and elevation of boiling point due to impurity or addition of solute are colligative priperty.

H2(g) + I2(g) ↔2HI(g) + heat. If more I2 is added, in what direction will the equilibrium shift? Group of answer choices
uranmaximum [27]

Answer:

Towards the products, or to the right

Explanation:

There are no provided answer choices, but the answer should be <u>to the right.</u>

By Le Chatelier's principle, which basically can be summarized as "if you mess with chemistry, chemistry messes back", if more reactants are added, the equilibrium will shift to the right towards the products in order to make more products and counteract the increase in I₂.
