A 0.271g sample of an unknown vapor occupies 294ml at 140C and 874mmHg. The emperical formula of the compound is CH2. How many m
Phoenix [80]
Using PV = nRT, we can calculate the moles of the sample.
874 mmHg = 116,524 Pa
n = PV/RT
n = 116,524 x 294 x 10⁻⁶ / 8.314 x (140 + 273)
n = 9.98 x 10⁻³ mol

moles = mass / Mr
Mr = 0.271/9.98 x 10⁻³
Mr = 27.2
Mass of empirical formula = 14
Repeat units = 27.2 / 14 ≈ 2

Formula of substance:
C₂H₄

Combustion equation:
C₂H₄ + 3O₂ → 2CO₂ + 2H₂O

1 mole produces 2 moles of CO₂, so 3 moles will produce 6 moles CO₂

A Calorie unit used in food is equal to the amount of energy necessary to raise the temperature of 1 kilogram of water ________
Kitty [74]

A Calorie unit used in food is equal to the amount of energy necessary to raise the temperature of 1 kilogram of water by <u>1</u> degrees Celsius.

<h3>What is One Calorie ?</h3>

The amount of heat energy required to raise the temperature by 1 gram of water through 1°C is known as One Calorie.

1 Calorie = 4.18 J

Thus from the above conclusion we can say that A Calorie unit used in food is equal to the amount of energy necessary to raise the temperature of 1 kilogram of water by <u>1</u> degrees Celsius.

The radioactivity due to carbon-14 measured in a piece of a wooden casket from an ancient burial site was found to produce 20 co
bekas [8.4K]

Answer:

17202.6 years

Explanation:

Activity of the living sample (Ao) = 160 counts per minute

Activity of the wood sample (A) = 20 counts per minute

Half life of carbon-14 = 5730 years

t= age of the artifact

From;

0.693/t1/2= 2.303/t log Ao/A

Then;

0.693/ 5730= 2.303/t log Ao/A

Substituting values;

0.693/5730= 2.303/t log (160/20)

Then we obtain;

1.209×10^-4 = 2.0798/t

t= 2.0798/1.209×10^-4

Thus;

t= 17202.6 years

Therefore the artifact is 17202.6 years old.
