The characteristic odor of pineapple is due to ethyl butyrate, a compound containing carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. Combustion of

gavmur [86]

Answer: The empirical formula for the given compound is $C_3H_6O$

Explanation:

The chemical equation for the combustion of hydrocarbon having carbon, hydrogen and oxygen follows:

$C_xH_yO_z+O_2\rightarrow CO_2+H_2O$

where, 'x', 'y' and 'z' are the subscripts of Carbon, hydrogen and oxygen respectively.

We are given:

Conversion factor: 1 g = 1000 mg

Mass of $CO_2=6.32mg=0.00632g$

Mass of $H_2O=2.58g=0.00258g$

Mass of compound = 2.78 mg = 0.00278 g

We know that:

Molar mass of carbon dioxide = 44 g/mol

Molar mass of water = 18 g/mol

For calculating the mass of carbon:

In 44g of carbon dioxide, 12 g of carbon is contained.

So, in 0.00632 g of carbon dioxide, $\frac{12}{44}\times 0.00632=0.00172g$ of carbon will be contained.

For calculating the mass of hydrogen:

In 18g of water, 2 g of hydrogen is contained.

So, in 0.00258 g of water, $\frac{2}{18}\times 0.00258=0.000286g$ of hydrogen will be contained.

Mass of oxygen in the compound = (0.00278) - (0.00172 + 0.000286) = 0.000774 g

To formulate the empirical formula, we need to follow some steps:

Step 1: Converting the given masses into moles.

Moles of Carbon = $\frac{\text{Given mass of Carbon}}{\text{Molar mass of Carbon}}=\frac{0.00172g}{12g/mole}=1.43\times 10^{-4}moles$

Moles of Hydrogen = $\frac{\text{Given mass of Hydrogen}}{\text{Molar mass of Hydrogen}}=\frac{0.000286g}{1g/mole}=2.86\times 10^{-4}moles$

Moles of Oxygen = $\frac{\text{Given mass of oxygen}}{\text{Molar mass of oxygen}}=\frac{0.000774g}{16g/mole}=4.83\times 10^{-5}moles$

Step 2: Calculating the mole ratio of the given elements.

For the mole ratio, we divide each value of the moles by the smallest number of moles calculated which is $4.83\times 10^{-5}mol$

For Carbon = $\frac{1.43\times 10^{-4}}{4.83\times 10^{-5}}=2.96\approx 3$

For Hydrogen = $\frac{2.86\times 10^{-4}}{4.83\times 10^{-5}}=5.92\approx 6$

For Oxygen = $\frac{4.83\times 10^{-5}}{4.83\times 10^{-5}}=1$

Step 3: Taking the mole ratio as their subscripts.

The ratio of C : H : O = 3 : 6 : 1

Hence, the empirical formula for the given compound is $C_3H_{6}O_1=C_3H_6O$

ASAP help with these please.

german

Answer:

1. See explanation below

2. Density

3. Masses

Explanation:

1. Your picture is a bit too small to see the values but maybe this will help you.

To determine the maximum maximum mass in grams that triple beam balance can measure all you have to do is add up the maximum of each beam. So all you need to do is see the value at the last notch of each beam.

However, if you are referring to the picture that is attached in the bottom: The answer would be 610g. Because the last notches of each beam are as follows:

100 g

500 g

10 g

So we add that we get 610g.

2. density can be computed using the formula:

D = M/V

where:

D = density

M = mass

V = volume

As you can see in the both figures A and B measure 20 g, this means that their masses are the same. The density of objects can be different when either their masses, or their volumes are different. So even if they have the same mass, they can have different densities because they have different volumes.

3. Force of gravitational attraction between two objects is dependent on the masses of the two objects and the distance. The larger the mass, the stronger the gravitational force of attraction. This means that they have a direct relationship. Now when it comes to distance, the further apart they are the weaker the gravitational force of attraction, or in other words, they are indirectly related.

Which trait is most likely a result of artificial selection

ycow [4]

Answer:

Explanation:Artificial selection is distinct from natural selection in that it describes selection applied by humans in order to produce genetic change. When artificial selection is imposed, the trait or traits being selected are known, whereas with natural selection they have to be inferred. In most circumstances and unless otherwise qualified, directional selection is applied, i.e., only high-scoring individuals are favored for a quantitative trait. Artificial selection is the basic method of genetic improvement programs for crop plants or livestock (see Selective Breeding). It is also used as a tool in the laboratory to investigate the genetic properties of a trait in a species or population, for example, the magnitude of genetic variance or heritability, the possible duration of and limits to selection, and the correlations among traits, including with fitness.

an aqueous solution contains 1.2mM of total ions. if the solution is NaCl (aq), what is the concentration of chloride ions?

Genrish500 [490]

Explanation:

As the total concentration is given as 1.2 mM. And, it is also given that salt present in the solution is NaCl.

As sodium chloride is an ionic compound so, when it is added to water then it will dissociate into sodium and chlorine ions as follows.

$NaCl \rightarrow Na^{+} + Cl^{-}$
