Answer:

Density is a word we use to describe how much space an object or substance takes up (its volume) in relation to the amount of matter in that object or substance (its mass). Another way to put it is that density is the amount of mass per unit of volume. If an object is heavy and compact, it has a high density.

A 2.912 g sample of a compounds containing only C, H, and O was completely oxidized in a reaction that yielded 3.123 g of water

Taya2010 [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

18 gram of water contains 2 g of hydrogen

3.123 gram of water will contain 2 x 3.123 / 18 = .347 g of hydrogen .

44 gram of carbon dioxide contains 12 g of carbon

7.691 gram of carbon dioxide will contain 12 x 7.691 / 44 = 2.1 g of carbon .

So the sample will contain 2.912 - ( .347 + 2.1 ) g of oxygen .

= .465 g of oxygen .

moles of Carbon = 2.1 / 12 = .175

moles of hydrogen = .347 / 1 = .347

moles of oxygen = .465 / 16 = .029

Ratio of moles of carbon , oxygen and hydrogen ( C,O,H )

= 0.175 : 0.029 : 0.347

= .175/ .029 : 1 : .347 / .029

= 6 : 1 : 12

So empirical formula = C₆H₁₂O

Let the molecular formula be $(C_6H_{12}O)_n$

molecular weight = n ( 6 x 12 + 12x 1 + 16)

= 100 n

Given 100 n = 100.1

n = 1

Molecular formula = C₆H₁₂O.

When writing the chemical formulas for a molecular compound, what method do you use?

podryga [215]

Answer:

A molecular compound is usually composed of two or more nonmetal elements. Molecular compounds are named with the first element first and then the second element by using the stem of the element name plus the suffix -ide.

A 44% wt/wt solution of H2SO4 has a density of 1.343g/ml. What mass of H2SO4 is 60ml of this solution?

horsena [70]

<u>Answer:</u> The mass of sulfuric acid present in 60 mL of solution is 34.1 grams

<u>Explanation:</u>

We are given:

44 % (m/m) solution of sulfuric acid. This means that 44 grams of sulfuric acid is present in 100 grams of solution.

To calculate volume of a substance, we use the equation:

$\text{Density of substance}=\frac{\text{Mass of substance}}{\text{Volume of substance}}$

Density of solution = 1.343 g/mL

Mass of solution = 100 g

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$1.343g/mL=\frac{100g}{\text{Volume of solution}}\\\\\text{Volume of solution}=\frac{100g}{1.343g/mL}=77.46mL$

To calculate the mass of sulfuric acid present in 60 mL of solution, we use unitary method:

In 77.46 mL of solution, mass of sulfuric acid present is 44 g

So, in 60 mL of solution, mass of sulfuric acid present will be = $\frac{44g}{77.46mL}\times 60mL=34.1g$

Hence, the mass of sulfuric acid present in 60 mL of solution is 34.1 grams

The organic compound di‑n‑butyl phthalate, C 16 H 22 O 4 ( l ) , C16H22O4(l), is sometimes used as a low‑density ( 1.046 g ⋅ mL

damaskus [11]

Answer:

36.63 Torr

Explanation:

You need to use two expressions, one for pressure and the other with the relation of density and height of the column.

For the pressure:

P = h * d * g (1)

h is height.

d density

g gravity

The second expression put a relation between the densities and height of the column so:

d1/d2 = h1/h2 (2)

let 1 be the phthalate, and 2 the mercury.

Let's calculate first the relation of density:

d1/d2 = 13.53 / 1.046 = 12.93

Now with the first expression, we can calculate the pressure so:

P = hdg

We have two compounds so,

h1d1g = h2d2g ---> gravity cancels out

From here, we can solve for h2:

h2 = h1*(d1/d2)

replacing:

h2 = 459 / 12.53

h2 = 36.63 mm

1 mmHg is 1 torr, therefore the pressure of the gas in Torr would be 36.63 Torr
