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

The equilibrium for the indicator methyl orange is HC14H14SO3(red) + H2O C14H14SO3−(yellow) + H3O+ The reaction is exothermic.
muminat

Answer:

The solution will turn red.  

Explanation:

HC₁₄H₁₄SO₃ + H₂O ⇌ HC₁₄H₁₄SO₃⁻ +H₃O⁺

     (red)                           (yellow)

Methyl orange is a weak acid in which the ionized and unionized forms are distinct colours and are in equilibrium with each other,

At about pH 3.4,  the two the forms are present in equal amounts, and the indicator colour is orange.

If you add more acid, you are disturbing the equilibrium.

According to Le Châtelier's Principle, when you apply a stress to a system at equilibrium, it will respond in such a way as to relieve the stress.

The system will try to get rid of the added acid, so the position of equilibrium will move to the left.

More of the unionized molecules will form, so the solution will turn red.

At one point in the Bike Trip described in the passage, you traveled 1 kilometer in 0.1 hours. What was your speed during that t
stealth61 [152]

Answer:

v = 10 km/h

Explanation:

Step 1: Given data

  • Distance traveled in the Bike Trip (d): 1 km
  • Time elapsed in the Bike Trip (t): 0.1 h

Step 2: Calculate the speed in the Bike Trip

The speed (v) is equal to the distance traveled divided by the time elapsed. We will use the following mathematical expression.

v = d/t

v = 1 km/0.1 h

v = 10 km/h

The speed is 10 kilometers per hour.
