Answer:

The empirical formula of the compound with the data in the question is C2H6O

Explanation:

What we need to do here is to divide the individual masses of the elements by their atomic masses.

The atomic mass of oxygen is 16 a.m.u

The atomic mass of hydrogen is 1 a.m.u

The atomic mass of carbon is 12 a.m.u

Thus, we proceed as follows;

C = 0.783/12 = 0.06525

O = 0.521/16 = 0.0325625

H = 0.196/1 = 0.196

What is next here is to divide each of the values we have gotten above by the smallest value we have obtained. The smallest value we have obtained is that of oxygen which is 0.0325625

Hence, we have;

C = 0.06525/0.0325625 = 2.00

O= 0.0325625/0.0325625 = 1

H = 0.196/0.0325625 = 6

Thus, the empirical formula will be C2H6O

The dipole moment of the water molecule (H2O) is 6.17x10^-30 C.m. Consider a water molecule located at the origin whose dipole m
valkas [14]

Answer:

There are other details missing in the question. i.e Assume that x is much larger than the separation d between the charges in the dipole, so that the approximate expression for the electric field along the dipole axis E = p/2πε0y3 can be used, where p is the dipole moment, and y is the distance between ions. A) What is magnitude______N B) Direction? +x-direction or -x-direction C) Is this force attractive or repulsive?

A) Magnitude of electric force = 6.576 x 10 raised to power -13 N

B) Since the force direction is always dependent on the electric field and electric field = F/q, since the chlorine has a negative charge as such the direction of the electric force will be in the X - direction

C) Since the charges are of different nature, as such the force between them will be ATTRACTIVE.

Explanation:

The detailed steps is shown in the attachment
