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

How is the oxidation state of a transition metal determined from the chemical formula ?
Vera_Pavlovna [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

In a chemical formula, the oxidation state of transition metals can be determined by establishing the relationships between the electrons gained and that which is lost by an atom.

We know that for compounds to be formed, atoms would either lose, gain or share electrons between one another.

The oxidation state is usually expressed using the oxidation number and it is a formal charge assigned to an atom which is present in a molecule or ion.

To ascertain the oxidation state, we have to comply with some rules:

  • The algebraic sum of all oxidation numbers of an atom in a neutral compound is zero.
  • The algebraic sum of all the oxidation numbers of all atoms in an ion containing more than one kind of atom is equal to  the charge on the ion.

For example, let us find the oxidation state of Cr in Cr₂O₇²⁻

This would be:  2x + 7(-2) = -2

                          x = +6

We see that the oxidation number of Cr, a transition metal in the given ion is +6.

A sealed can of your favorite soda has a carbon dioxide gas (C0) volume of 0.05 L. When it is refrigerated, the
liubo4ka [24]

Answer:

<h2>0.102 L</h2>

Explanation:

The new pressure can be found by using the formula for Boyle's law which is

P_1V_1 = P_2V_2

Since we are finding the new volume

V_2 =  \frac{P_1V_1}{P_2}  \\

From the question we have

V_2 =  \frac{207000 \times 0.05}{101000}  =  \frac{10350}{101000}  \\  = 0.102475...

We have the final answer as

<h3>0.102 L</h3>

Hope this helps you

Naily [24]

Answer:

4.4×10² cm³

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Diameter (d) = 68.3 mm

Height (h) = 0.120 m

Volume (V) =?

Next, we shall convert the diameter (i.e 68.3 mm) to cm.

This can be obtained as follow:

10 mm = 1 cm

Therefore

68.3 mm = 68.3 mm / 10 mm × 1 cm

68.3 mm = 6.83 cm

Therefore, the diameter 68.3 mm is equivalent 6.83 cm.

Next, we shall convert the height (i.e 0.120 m) to cm. This can be obtained as follow:

1 m = 100 cm

Therefore,

0.120 m = 0.120 m/ 1 m × 100 cm

0.120 m = 12 cm

Therefore, the height 0.120 m is equivalent 12 cm.

Next, we shall determine the radius of the cylinder. This can be obtained as follow:

Radius (r) is simply half of a diameter i.e

Radius (r) = Diameter (d) /2

r = d/2

Diameter (d) = 6.83 cm

Radius (r) =?

r = d/2

r = 6.83/2

r = 3.415 cm

Finally, we shall determine the volume of the cylinder as follow:

Radius (r) = 3.415 cm

Height (h) = 12 cm

Volume (V) =?

Pi (π) = 3.14

V = πr²h

V = 3.14 × (3.415) ² × 12

V = 440 cm³

V = 4.4×10² cm³

Therefore, the volume of the cylinder is 4.4×10² cm³

Choose the solvent below that would show the greatest freezing point lowering when used to make a 0.20 m nonelectrolyte solution
tatiyna

Answer : Carbon tetrachloride, k_f=29.9^oC/m will show the greatest freezing point lowering.

Explanation :

For non-electrolyte solution, the formula used for lowering in freezing point is,

\Delta T_f=k_f\times m

where,

\Delta T_f = lowering in freezing point

k_f = molal depression constant

m = molality

As per question, the molality is same for all the non-electrolyte solution. So, the lowering in freezing point is depend on the k_f only.

That means the higher the value of k_f, the higher will be the freezing point lowering.

From the given non-electrolyte solutions, the value of k_f of carbon tetrachloride is higher than the other solutions.

Therefore, Carbon tetrachloride, k_f=29.9^oC/m will show the greatest freezing point lowering.

Using your knowledge of symbols, determine which compound listed must contain both copper and oxygen.
Colt1911 [192]

Answer:

Malachite

Explanation:

Malachite is the only listed compound that must contain copper and oxygen.

Copper and oxygen are both elements found on the periodic table. They have the following symbols;

         Copper  = Cu

         Oxygen  = O

From the given choices, only option 1 has the symbol Cu and O.

So only malachite contains both copper and oxygen.
