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

Classify unopened root beer as an element, a compound, a homogeneous mixture, or a heterogeneous mixture
maxonik [38]

The different state of material based on its ingredients are-

1. Compound: The compound is in which there are more than one molecule in which chemical bond is there.

2. Mixture: It is basically presence of two or more compounds in which there is no chemical bonds.

The mixture may be of two types (i) homogeneous and (ii) Heterogeneous. In the homogeneous mixture there is uniformity of the mixed compound (like air in water) and some chemical process is needed to separate the compounds. Whereas heterogeneous mixtures (like chalk in water) are easily separable by any physical process.

In the root beer which is a soft drink which is obtained in different flavor sometime with caffeine and without caffeine. The unopened bottle of root beer is homogeneous mixture.

What is the mass in grams of 1 liter of nitrogen gas?
AlladinOne [14]

Assuming the volume of the gas is measured at standard temperature and pressure, Then one mole of the Gas would occupy 22.4 liters.

Therefore, 1 liter is 1/224 moles

one mole of nitrogen 14 is 14

Therefore 1 liter of the nitrogen weighs 1/224×14

0.0625 grams
