Answer:

The empirical formula of compound is C₂H₆O.

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of carbon = 12 g

Mass of hydrogen = 3 g

Mass of oxygen = 8 g

Empirical formula of compound = ?

Solution:

First of all we will calculate the gram atom of each elements.

no of gram atom of carbon = 12 g / 12 g/mol = 1 g atoms

no of gram atom of hydrogen = 3 g / 1 g/mol = 3 g atoms

no of gram atom of oxygen = 8 g / 16 g/mol = 0.5 g atoms

Now we will calculate the atomic ratio by dividing the gram atoms with the 0.5 because it is the smallest number among these three.

          C:H:O  =     1/0.5  :   3/0.5  :   0.5/0.5

          C:H:O  =     2      :     6      :     1

The empirical formula of compound will be C₂H₆O

tensa zangetsu [6.8K]

Explanation:

a) HNO2(aq) = HNO3(aq) + H2O(l) +NO(g)

b) SoCl2 (l) + H2O (l) = So2(g) + 2HCl(aq)

c) CH4 (g) + 2O2(g) = Co2 (g) + 2H2O(g)

d) 3CuO(s) + 2NH3 (g) = 3Cu(s) + 3H2O (l) + N2(g)

A system gains 687 kJ of heat, resulting in a change in internal energy of the system equal to 156 kJ. How much work is done?
Maslowich

Answer:

w = -531 kJ

1. Work was done by the system.

Explanation:

Step 1: Given data

  • Heat gained by the system (q): 687 kJ (By convention, when the system absorbs heat, q > 0).
  • Change in the internal energy of the system (ΔU°): 156 kJ

Step 2: Calculate the work done (w)

We will use the following expression.

ΔU° = q + w

w = ΔU° - q

w = 156 kJ - 687 kJ

w = -531 kJ

By convention, when w < 0, work is done by the system on the surroundings.

anzhelika [568]

Answer:

If we assume that there will be enough Hydrogen for the reaction to occur, then there will be 8 moles of NH

Explanation:

The balanced equation will look like this:

4N2 + 4H2 -> 8NH

A cylinder is labeled \"PENTANE.\" When the gas inside the cylinder is monochlorinated, five isomers of formula C5H11Cl result.
melisa1 [442]

Answer:

a mixture of two these

Explanation:

The number of isomeric monochlorides depends on the structure and number of equivalent hydrogen atoms in each isomer of pentane.

n-pentane has three different kinds of equivalent hydrogen atoms leading to three isomeric monochlorides formed.

Isopentane has four different types of equivalent hydrogen atoms hence four isomeric monochlorides are formed.

Lastly, neopentane has only one type of equivalent hydrogen atoms that yields one mono chlorination product.

Hence the cylinder must contain a mixture of isopentane and neopentane which yields four and one isomeric monochlorides giving a total of five identifiable monochloride products as stated in the question.
