Answer:

            Empirical Formula  =  C₃H₆O₁

Solution:

Data Given:

                      Mass of Ethyl Butyrate  =  3.61 mg  =  0.00361 g

                      Mass of CO₂  =  8.22 mg  =  0.00822 g

                      Mass of H₂O  =  3.35 mg  =  0.00335 g

Step 1: Calculate %age of Elements as;

                      %C  =  (mass of CO₂ ÷ Mass of sample) × (12 ÷ 44) × 100

                      %C  =  (0.00822 ÷ 0.00361) × (12 ÷ 44) × 100

                      %C  =  (2.277) × (12 ÷ 44) × 100

                      %C  =  2.277 × 0.2727 × 100

                      %C  =  62.09 %


                      %H  =  (mass of H₂O ÷ Mass of sample) × (2.02 ÷ 18.02) × 100

                      %H  =  (0.00335 ÷ 0.00361) × (2.02 ÷ 18.02) × 100

                      %H  =  (0.9279) × (2.02 ÷ 18.02) × 100

                      %H  =  0.9279 × 0.1120 × 100

                     %H  =  10.39 %


                      %O  =  100% - (%C + %H)

                      %O  =  100% - (62.09% + 10.39%)

                      %O  =  100% - 72.48%

                      %O  =  27.52 %

Step 2: Calculate Moles of each Element;

                      Moles of C  =  %C ÷ At.Mass of C

                      Moles of C  = 62.09 ÷ 12.01

                      Moles of C  =  5.169 mol


                      Moles of H  =  %H ÷ At.Mass of H

                      Moles of H  = 10.39 ÷ 1.01

                      Moles of H  =  10.287 mol


                      Moles of O  =  %O ÷ At.Mass of O

                      Moles of O  = 27.52 ÷ 16.0

                     Moles of O  =  1.720 mol

Step 3: Find out mole ratio and simplify it;

                C                                        H                                     O

             5.169                                10.287                              1.720

       5.169/1.720                       10.287/1.720                     1.720/1.720

               3.00                                   5.98                                   1

                  3                                      ≈ 6                                     1

Result:

         Empirical Formula  =  C₃H₆O₁

What mass of oxygen is needed to burn 4g of hydrogen, given the equation below
aleksandrvk [35]

32g of oxygen is required to burn 4g of hydrogen.

Define molecular mass.

A specific molecule's mass is expressed in daltons and is known as the molecular mass (m) (Da or u). Due to the varying isotopes of an element that they contain, multiple molecules of the same substance can have distinct molecular weights.

The total atomic mass of every atom in a molecule, calculated using a scale with hydrogen, carbon, nitrogen, and oxygen having atomic masses of 1, 12, 14, and 16, respectively. For instance, water has a molecular mass of 18 (2 + 16), which consists of two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom. known also as molecular weight.

In ,2H2+O2-----> 2H2O

H 2 molecules have a mass of 2 g/mol.

The molecular weight of oxygen is 32 g/mol.

When the chemical equation is balanced,

To totally react, 32 g of oxygen are needed for every 22=4 g of hydrogen.

How/why is maintaining healthy soil a social justice issue for our area and community
podryga [215]

Answer:

Social justice aims to give individuals and groups fair treatment and an impartial share of social, environmental and economic benefits. The concept promotes the fair distribution of advantages and disadvantages within a society, regardless of background and status.

Environmental justice deals explicitly with the distribution of environmental benefits and the burdens people experience, at home, at work, or where they learn, play and spend leisure time. Environmental benefits include attractive and extensive greenspace, clean air and water, and investment in pollution abatement and landscape improvements. Environmental burdens include risks and hazards from industrial, transport-generated and municipal pollution.
