Answer: XF8

Explanation:

Empirical Formular shows the simplest ratio of elements in a compound.

 Xe = 46.3%             F  = 53.7%

Divide the percentage composition of each element by the atomic  mass.

Xe = 46.3/ 131.3                      F= 53.7/ 19

      = 0.353( approx)               =  2.826 (approx)

Divide through with the smallest of the answers gotten in previous step.

 Xe = 0.353 / 0.353                F = 2.826/ 0.353

       =  1                                       = 8.0

Empirical formular = XF8

Assume the solubility of benzoic acid in ice-cold water is 1.70 g/L and the solubility of benzoic acid in hot water is 68.0 g/L.
lana [24]

Answer:

The volume of water needed to recrystallize 0.700 g of benzoic acid is 10.29 mL.

Explanation:

For the complete recrystalization,

the amount of hot water should be such that, the benzoic acid is completely soluble in it.

As we are given that the solubility of benzoic acid in hot water is 68.0 g/L. Now we have to determine the volume of water is needed to recrystallize 0.700 g of benzoic acid.

we conclude that,

As, 68.0 grams of benzoic acid soluble in 1 L of water.

So, 0.700 grams of benzoic acid soluble in  of water.

The volume of water needed = 0.01029 L = 10.29 mL

conversion used : (1 L = 1000 mL)

Therefore, the volume of water needed to recrystallize 0.700 g of benzoic acid is 10.29 mL.

2. A chemical analysis of a sample provides the following elemental data:
Vadim26 [7]

Answer:

C3 H6 O2

Explanation:

first divide their mass by their respective molar mass, we get:

30.4 moles of C

61.2 moles of H

20.25 moles of O

now divide everyone by the smallest one of them then we get

C= 1.5

H= 3

O= 1

since our answer of C is not near to any whole number so we will multiply all of them by 2

so,

C3 H6 O2 is our answer

Calculate the standard enthalpy change for the reaction at 25 ∘ C. Standard enthalpy of formation values can be found in this li
Anastasy [175]

Answer:

-179.06 kJ

Explanation:

Let's consider the following balanced reaction.

HCl(g) + NaOH(s) ⟶ NaCl(s) + H₂O(l)

We can calculate the standard enthalpy change for the reaction (ΔH°r) using the following expression.

ΔH°r = 1 mol × ΔH°f(NaCl(s)) + 1 mol × ΔH°f(H₂O(l)) - 1 mol × ΔH°f(HCl(g)) - 1 mol × ΔH°f(NaOH(s))

ΔH°r = 1 mol × (-411.15 kJ/mol) + 1 mol × (-285.83 kJ/mol) - 1 mol × (-92.31 kJ/mol) - 1 mol × (-425.61 kJ/mol)

ΔH°r = -179.06 kJ

The combustion of butane produces heat according to the equation 2C4H10(g) + 13O2(g) → 8CO2(g) + 10H2O(l), ΔH°rxn= –5,314 kJ/mol
Dafna11 [192]

Answer:

665 g

Explanation:

Let's consider the following thermochemical equation.

2 C₄H₁₀(g) + 13 O₂(g) → 8 CO₂(g) + 10 H₂O(l), ΔH°rxn= –5,314 kJ/mol

According to this equation, 5,314 kJ are released per 8 moles of CO₂. The moles produced when 1.00 × 10⁴ kJ are released are:

-1.00 × 10⁴ kJ × (8 mol CO₂/-5,314 kJ) = 15.1 mol CO₂

The molar mass of CO₂ is 44.01 g/mol. The mass corresponding to 15.1 moles is:

15.1 mol × 44.01 g/mol = 665 g
