An elemental analysis is performed in an unknown compound. It is found to contain 40.0 % mass in Carbon, 6.71% mass in Hydrogen,

and the remaining mass in Oxygen. Determine its empirical formula. The formula mass of the unknown is independently determined to be 90.08 g/mol, determine the unknown’s molecular formula

Answer: Molecular formula will be C_3H_6O_3

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= 40 g

Mass of H = 6.71 g

Mass of O = 100 - (40+6.71 ) = 53.29 g

Step 1 : convert given masses into moles.

Moles of C =\frac{\text{ given mass of C}}{\text{ molar mass of C}}= \frac{40g}{12g/mole}=3.33moles

Moles of H =\frac{\text{ given mass of H}}{\text{ molar mass of H}}= \frac{6.71g}{1g/mole}=6.71moles

Moles of O =\frac{\text{ given mass of O}}{\text{ molar mass of O}}= \frac{53.29g}{16g/mole}=3.33moles

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

For C = \frac{3.33}{3.33}=1

For H =\frac{6.71}{3.33}=2

For O = \frac{3.33}{3.33}=1

The ratio of C: H: O= 1 : 2: 1

Hence the empirical formula is CH_2O

The empirical weight of CH_2O = 1(12)+2(1)+1(16)= 30g.

The molecular weight = 90.08 g/mole

Now we have to calculate the molecular formula:

n=\frac{\text{Molecular weight}}{\text{Equivalent weight}}=\frac{90.08}{30}=3

The molecular formula will be=3\times CH_2O=C_3H_6O_3

Molecular formula will be C_3H_6O_3

Plz help ASAP. thx for you answers​ ALGEBRA 2 sorry
iren [92.7K]

So, the answer to 27.) would be <em>2x.</em> Both 6x and 2x can be divided by 2x, but they can't go any higher without the end-answer becoming a fraction. As such, 2x is the greatest common factor.

For 28.), x and x^2 can't be like terms, since like terms have the same variable and exponent :)

Hope I could help!

Does sodium have a positive or negative charge after ionization?
lions [1.4K]
Sodium Chloride also known as table salt, the sodium has a positive charge and the chloride a negative so after ionization that leaves you with two negative charges because it takes the salt away. possibly disforming the atoms.<span />

Identify the decomposition reaction. 2nh3 + h2so4 ⟶ (nh4)2so4 2nabr + ca(oh)2 ⟶ cabr2 + 2naoh 2 no2 ⟶ 2 o2 + n2 3pb + 2h3po4 ⟶ 3
TEA [102]

A decomposition reaction should look like

A ------> B +C+...

It has to have only one reactant and several products.

2 NO2 ⟶ 2 O2 + N2

Jonathan claims that since only humans can read, it must be an inherited trait, passed from human parents to their children. Is
Crank
Jonathan is not correct because it has to be a trait that is learned.

So in that case Jonathan has to say that this is not an inherited trait it is learned by most people.
