Answer:

C₄H₁₀O₂

Explanation:

Parameters given:

Percentage composition of Carbon = 52.14%

                                               Hydrogen = 13.13%

                                               Oxygen = 34.73%

From the given data, we can simply obtain the empirical formula of the compound which is the simplest formula of the compound. From the empirical formula, we can check other combining ratios of the compound.

To find the empirical formula of the compound:

  • we first find the moles of the elements in the compound by dividing the mass percentages by the atomic mass of the atoms
  • we then divide through by the smallest number of moles
  • approximate the result or multiply through by the a factor to give a whole number ratio.

Solution

                                                              C                        H                      O

% mass of elements                        52.14                   13.13                34.73

Moles                                               52.14/12              13.13/1            34.73/16

                                                           4.345                 13.13                 2.171

Dividing by the smallest              4.345/ 2.171       13.13/2.171         2.171/2.171

                                                                 2                        6                        1

The empirical formula of the compound is expressed as C₂H₆O

The molecular formula would be any factor that would give whole number ratios. The simplest number would be 2:

Molecular formula = 2(C₂H₆O) = C₄H₁₂O₂

A 35.0 mL sample of 1.00 M KBr and a 60.0 mL sample of 0.600 M KBr are mixed. The solution is then heated to evaporate water unt
Katarina [22]

Answer: The molarity of KBr in the final solution is 1.42M

Explanation:

We can calculate the molarity of the KBr in the final solution by dividing the total number of moles of KBr in the solution by the final volume of the solution.

We will first calculate the number of moles of KBr in the individual sample before mixing together

In the first sample:

Volume (V) = 35.0 mL

Concentration (C) = 1.00M

Number of moles (n) = C × V

n = (35.0mL × 1.00M)

n= 35.0mmol

For the second sample

V = 60.0 mL

C = 0.600 M

n = (60.0 mL × 0.600 M)

n = 36.0mmol

Therefore, we have (35.0 + 36.0)mmol in the final solution

Number of moles of KBr in final solution (n) = 71.0mmol

Now, to get the molarity of the final solution , we will divide the total number of moles of KBr in the solution by the final volume of the solution after evaporation.

Therefore,

Final volume of solution (V) = 50mL

Number of moles of KBr in final solution (n) = 71.0mmol

From

C = n / V

C= 71.0mmol/50mL

C = 1.42M

Therefore, the molarity of KBr in the final solution is 1.42M

how much heat will be absorbed by 25g of chloroform when its temperature started at 67.0C and after it was 112.0C
snow_tiger [21]

Hello friend ☺

ΔH = MCΔT

ΔH = to the amount of energy or change in energy (J)

mass of water

C = waters specific heat capacity

ΔT = change in temperature

and so ΔH = 25 × 4.18 × ( 112-67 ) J = 4702.5 J

Thanks ❤
