A sample of a compound contains 60.0 g C and 5.05 g H. Its molar mass is 78.12 g/mol. What is the compound’s molecular formula

The standard atomic weight of a C is 12, and the standard atomic weight of a H is 1. So to find molar ratio of C and H in the compound: 60.0/12=5, 5.05/1=5. This means the molar ratio of C and H is 5:5, thus 1:1. Assuming the molecular formula is CnHn, to find molar mass: 12n + 1n = 78.12. n=78.12/(12+1) = 6. So the compound's molecular formula is C6H6, benzene.

You're at the zoo and have a big red 1.80 L helium balloon. The barometric pressure today is 785 mmHg. Then you hear the roar of

fomenos

Answer: The volume of the balloon up there is 6.192 L.

Explanation:

Given: $V_{1}$ = 1.80 L, $P_{1}$ = 785 mm Hg (mm Hg = 0.00131579) = 1.032 atm

$P_{2}$ = 0.300 atm, $V_{2}$ = ?

Formula used to calculate volume is as follows.

$P_{1}V_{1} = P_{2}V_{2}$

Substitute the value into above formula as follows.

$P_{1}V_{1} = P_{2}V_{2}\\1.032 atm \times 1.80 L = 0.300 atm \times V_{2}\\V_{2} = 6.192 L$

Thus, we can conclude that the volume of the balloon up there is 6.192 L.

In an electrolytic cell, the magnitude of the standard cell potential is the:______

melamori03 [73]

Answer:

a. minimum voltage that must be supplied for a redox reaction to occur

c. always equal to Eanode - Ecathode

Explanation:

In an electrolytic cell; The electromotive force(the maximum standard potential difference) of the cell formed by the system is defined as the standard electrode potential of the right handed electrode minus the standard electrode potential of the left hand electrode. (i.e $\mathbf{E^{\theta}_{cell}=E_{anode} - E_{cathode}}$ )

As we all known that the process by which chemical energy is being converted to electrical energy is called the Electrochemical cell. It consists of two half cells , an oxidation half cell reaction and a reduction half-cell reaction.The overall redox reaction results in a flow of electrons in an electric current which is produced by a minimum voltage.

Therefore, option a and c are both correct.
