Which of the following is NOT an empirical formula? a) CO b) BrCl2 c) C6H9 d) H2O

Chemistry

The correct answer among the choices given is option C. C6H9 is not an empirical formula. Because it can still be reduced to lower proportions. An empirical formula is a formula giving only the proportion of the elements but not the actual number of atoms.

The rate of effusion of oxygen to an unknown gas is 0.935. what is the other gas?
Kamila [148]

Answer:

N2

Explanation:

Rate of effusion is defined by Graham's Law:  

(Rate 1/Rate 2) = (sqrt (M2)/ sqrt (M1))

(Where M is the molar mass of each substance. )

Molar Mass of oxygen, O2, is 32 (M1).

Rate of effusion of O2 to an unknown gas is .935(Rate 1).  

Rate 2 is unknown so put 1.

Solve for x (M2).

.935/1 = sqrt x/ sqrt32

.935 x sqrt 32 = sqrt x

5.29 = sq rt x

5.29^2 = 27.975 = 28  

N2 has a molar mass of 28 so it is the correct gas.

Silicon carbide (SiC) is an important ceramic material made by reacting sand (silicon dioxide, SiO2) with powdered carbon at a h
makkiz [27]

Answer:

Percent yield of SiC is 77.0%.

Explanation:

Balanced reaction: SiO_{2}+3C\rightarrow SiC+2CO

Molar mass of SiC = 40.11 g/mol

Molar mass of SiO_{2} = 60.08 g/mol

So, 100.0 kg of SiO_{2} = \frac{100.0\times 10^{3}}{60.08} moles of SiO_{2} = 1664 moles of SiO_{2}

According to balanced equation, 1 mol of SiO_{2} produces 1 mol of SiC

Therefore, 1664 moles of SiO_{2} produce 1664 moles of SiC

Mass of 1664 moles of SiC = (1664\times 40.11)g = 66743g = 66.74 kg (4 sig. fig.)

Percent yield of SiC = [(actual yield of SiC)/(theoretical yield of SiC)]\times 100%

                                 = \frac{51.4kg}{66.74kg}\times 100 %

                                 = 77.0%
