Answer:

CH₂O

Explanation:

The empirical formula is the simplest whole-number ratio of atoms in a compound.

The ratio of atoms is the same as the ratio of moles.

So, our job is to calculate the molar ratio of C:H:O.

Assume 100 g of the compound.

1. Calculate the mass of each element.

Then we have 39.99 g C, 6.727 g H, and 53.28 g O.

2. Calculate the moles of each element

\text{Moles of C} = \text{39.99 g C} \times \dfrac{\text{1 mol C}}{\text{12.01 g C}} = \text{3.330 mol C}\\\\\text{Moles of H} = \text{6.727 g H} \times \dfrac{\text{1 mol H}}{\text{1.008 g H }} = \text{6.674 mol H}\\\\\text{Moles of O} = \text{53.28 g O} \times \dfrac{\text{1 mol O}}{\text{16.00 g O }} = \text{3.330 mol O}

3. Calculate the molar ratio of the elements

Divide each number by the smallest number of moles

C:H:O = 3.330:6.674:3.330 = 1:2.004:1.000 ≈ 1:2:1

4. Write the empirical formula

EF = CH₂O

Inessa05 [86]

Answer:

0.0613 L

Explanation:

Given data

  • Initial pressure (P₁): 1.00 atm
  • Initial volume (V₁): 1.84 L
  • Final pressure (P₂): 30.0 atm
  • Final volume (V₂): ?

Since we are dealing with an ideal gas, we can calculate the final volume using Boyle's law.

P₁ × V₁ = P₂ × V₂

V₂ = P₁ × V₁ / P₂

V₂ = 1.00 atm × 1.84 L / 30.0 atm

V₂ = 0.0613 L

You have identified a substance to be solid in nature. which characteristics will justify your identification?
weeeeeb [17]
This question includes four answer choices: A. definite volume, highest molecular motion, highest kinetic energy B. indefinite volume, least molecular motion, highest kinetic energy C. definite volume, least molecular motion, lowest kinetic energy D. definite volume, no molecular motion, lowest kinetic energy Solids do not have the highest molecular motion (on the contrary they have the least molecular motion), so you can discard option A. Solids have a definite volume and the highest kinetic energy (given that they have the least molecular motion), so you discard option C. Molecules always have a vibrational motion, so you discard option D. Option C, have only characteristics that correctly describes a solid: definite volume, least molecular motion, lowest kinetic energy. Therefore, the answer is the option C. <span /><span>

What is the concentration of H+ ions at a pH = 2?
erastova [34]

Answer:

0.01M = [H⁺]; 1x10⁻¹²M = [OH⁻]; Ratio is: 1x10¹⁰

Explanation:

pH is defined as -log [H⁺]

For a pH of 2 we can solve [H⁺] as follows:

pH = -log [H⁺]

2 = -log [H⁺]

10^-2 = [H⁺]

<h3>0.01M = [H⁺]</h3>

Using Keq of water:

Keq = 1x10⁻¹⁴ = [H⁺] [OH⁻]

1x10⁻¹⁴ / 0.01M = [OH⁻]

<h3>1x10⁻¹²M = [OH⁻]</h3><h3 />

The ratio is:

[H⁺] / [OH⁻] = 0.01 / 1x10⁻¹² =

<h3>1x10¹⁰</h3>

Which of Hubble's findings supported the big bang theory? Check all that apply.
grigory [225]

<u>Out of all given options, Hubble's findings supported the big bang theory are as follows: </u>

  • The universe formed from a central point.
  • Most galaxies in the universe are moving away from Earth.
  • There are billions of galaxies in the universe, not just one.

Option C, D, and E

<u>Explanation: </u>

According to big bang theory, the universe is increasing its region of occupancy in free space. As it is known that the universe is composed of several galaxies. So this spreading of the universe is nothing but spreading of galaxies.

And this is confirmed from Hubble’s findings using Hubble’s telescope.  As they have observed that the speed at which the galaxies are travelling in free space has been increased at a faster rate.

So, the galaxies are used to move away from Earth with time at a faster rate which confirms the big bang theory of universe formation. Also, in simple words, universe started from big bang according to cosmology' standard theory, it’s just moves from everything else.
