Answer:

CH2O

Explanation:

Firstly, we need to convert the masses of the elements to percentage compositions. This can be done by placing the mass of each element over the total mass multiplied by 100% . We can start with carbon.

C = 5.692/14.229 * 100 = 40%

O = 7.582/14.229 * 100 = 53.29%

H = 0.955/14.229 * 100 = 6.71%

We then proceed to divide each percentage composition by their atomic mass of 12, 16 and 1 respectively.

C = 40/12 = 3.333

O = 53.29/16 = 3.33

H = 6.71/2 = 6.71

Dividing by the smaller value which is 3.33

C = 3.33/3.33 = 1

O = 3.33/3.33= 1

H = 6.71/3.33 = 2

The empirical formula of the compound ribose is CH2O

Answer:

CH2O

Explanation:

First divide the given mass of each element by its relative atomic mass.

For carbon 5.692/12 = 0.47

For hydrogen 0.955/1 = 0.955

For oxygen 7.582/16= 0.47

Then we divide each by the lowest ratio

For carbon- 0.47/0.47 =1

For hydrogen- 0.955/0.47= 2

For oxygen- 0.47/0.47 = 1

Hence the empirical formula is CH2O

A chemist has 2. 0 mol of methanol (CH3OH). The molar mass of methanol is 32. 0 g/mol. What is the mass, in grams, of the sample
natima [27]

The mass, in grams, of the sample of methanol (CH₃OH) is 64 grams.

<h3>How we calculate mass from moles?</h3>

Mass of any substance can be calculated by using moles as:

n = W/M, where

W = required mass

M = molar mass

In the question that:

Moles of methanol = 2mole

Molar mass of methanol = 32g/mole

On putting these values in the above equation, we get

W = n × M

W = 2mole × 32g/mole = 64g

Hence, 64 grams is the mass of the sample.

A liquid occupies a volume of 5.0 L has a mass of 6.0 kg. what is the density of a the lights in kg/L
grandymaker [24]

Answer:

Hey there! :

Volume = 5.0 L

mass = 6.0 Kg

Therefore:

Density = mass / Volume

Density = 6.0 / 5.0

Density = 1.2 kg/L
