To determine the empirical formula of the compound, we assume a basis of 100 g of this compound. We calculate as follows:

C = 68.75 g
H = 10.90 g
O = 20.35 g

We convert these mass to moles,
C = 68.75 g / 12.01 g/mol = 5.72 mol
H = 10.90 g / 1.01 g/mol = 10.79 mol
O = 20.35 g / 16 g/mol = 1.27 mol

C = 5.72 mol / 1.27 mol = 5
H = 10.79 mol / 1.27 mol = 8
O = 1.27 mol / 1.27 mol = 1

Answer: The empirical formula is C_9H_{17}O_2

Explanation:

If percentage are given then we are taking total mass is 100 grams.

So, the mass of each element is equal to the percentage given.

Mass of C= 68.75 g

Mass of H = 10.90 g

Mass of O = 20.35 g

Step 1 : convert given masses into moles.

Moles of C =\frac{\text{ given mass of C}}{\text{ molar mass of C}}= \frac{68.75g}{12g/mole}=5.73moles

Moles of H =\frac{\text{ given mass of H}}{\text{ molar mass of H}}= \frac{10.90g}{1g/mole}=10.90moles

Moles of O =\frac{\text{ given mass of O}}{\text{ molar mass of O}}= \frac{20.35g}{16g/mole}=1.27moles

Step 2 : For the mole ratio, divide each value of moles by the smallest number of moles calculated.

For C = \frac{5.73}{1.27}=4.5

For H = \frac{10.90}{1.27}=8.6

For O =\frac{1.27}{1.27}=1

The ratio of C : H: O= 4.5: 8.6: 1

converting them into whole number ratio by multiplying by 2

2\times C_{4.5}H_{8.6}O=C_9H_{17}O_2

Hence the empirical formula is C_9H_{17}O_2

Describe how chemical substances are used based on their physical properties?
Lilit [14]
The answer is
Physical properties: Properties that do not change the chemical nature of matter
Chemical properties: Properties that do change tha chemical nature of matter

Examples of physical properties are: color, smell, freezing point, boiling point, melting point, infra-red spectrum, attraction (paramagnetic) or repulsion (diamagnetic) to magnets, opacity, viscosity and density. There are many more examples. Note that measuring each of these properties will not alter the basic nature of the substance.

Examples of chemical properties are: heat of combustion, reactivity with water, PH, and electromotive force.

Use the information below to explain why the atomic radius decreases down a group.
notsponge [240]

Answer:

Detail is given below

Explanation:

Atomic radii trend along group:

As we move down the group atomic radii increased with increase of atomic number. The addition of electron in next level cause the atomic radii to increased. The hold of nucleus on valance shell become weaker because of shielding of electrons thus size of atom increased.

As the size of atom increases the ionization energy from top to bottom also  decreases because it becomes easier to remove the electron because of less nuclear attraction and as more electrons are added the outer electrons becomes more shielded and away from nucleus.

In A we can see that there is one positive charge and force of attraction is 2.30×10⁻⁸ N and distance is 0.10 nm

In B we can see that negative charge is further away from nucleus because of greater distance thus force of attraction will be less. 0.58×10⁻⁸ N

In C this distance further increases and force also goes in decreasing 0.26×10⁻⁸ N.
