Answer:

Empirical formula (which matches the molecular formula) is = PbC₈H₂₀

Explanation:

Our sample: 60 g of tetraethyl lead

In order to determine the compound empirical formula we need the centesimal composition:

(Mass of element / Total mass) . 100 =

(38.43 g lead / 60g ) . 100 = 64.05%

(17.83 g C / 60g) . 100 = 29.72%

(3.74 g H / 60g) . 100 = 6.23 %

These % are the mass of the elements in 100 g of compound. Let's find out the moles of them:

64.05 g / 207.2 g/mol = 0.309 moles

29.72 g / 12 g/mol = 2.48 moles

6.23 g/ 1 g/mol = 6.23 moles

Next, we divide the moles, by the lowest value of them (0.309)

0.309 / 0.309 = 1 mol Pb

2.48 / 0.309 = 8 mol C

6.23 / 0.309 = 20 mol H

There, we have our formula PbC₈H₂₀

One beaker contains 19.93 mL, another contains 14.0 mL and a third contains 10.6 mL. What is the total volume of the three beake
Juli2301 [7.4K]

Answer:

\large \boxed{\text{44.5 mL}}

Explanation:

When adding or subtracting values, you must round your answer to the same "place" as the measurement with its last significant figure furthest to the left.  

That is, you round off to the same number of decimal places as the measurement with the fewest decimal places.

\begin{array}{r|r}19.9& \text{3 mL}\\14.0&\text{mL}\\10.6&\text{mL} \\\mathbf{44.5} &\textbf{3 mL}\\\end{array}

The measurements of 14.0 and 10.6 have one digit after the decimal point, so you round the sum to have only one digit to the right of the decimal.

The number to be dropped (3) is less than 5, so you drop it.

\text{The total volume of the three beakers is $\large \boxed{\textbf{44.5 mL}}$}

¿Podría predecir con antelación si una disolución acuosa será buena conductora de la corriente eléctrica, sabiendo cuál es el so
Ne4ueva [31]

Answer:

Si.

Explicación:

Sí, podemos predecir si una solución acuosa será un buen conductor de corriente eléctrica si conocemos el soluto que se disuelve en ese líquido y su concentración o cantidad. Hay algunas sustancias que se ionizan cuando se agregan en un líquido como el agua. Debido a esta ionización, será un buen conductor de electricidad. Por ejemplo, la adición de una gran cantidad de cloruro de sodio en agua ioniza y hace que el agua sea un buen medio conductor de electricidad.
