First from the data given we are able to determine the empirical formula of the product. To do that we use the following algorithm:

1) Divide each percentage at the atomic mass of each element:

O   51.3 / 16 = 3.21

C   42.2 / 12 = 3.52

H   6.5 / 1 = 6.5

2) Now we divide the result to the lowest number, which is 3.21:

O   3.21 /3.21 = 1

C   3.52 /3.21 = 1.1 ≈ 1

H   6.5/3.21 = 2

So the empirical formula of the unknown compounds is:

CH₂O

We can conclude that the compound contains carbon, hydrogen and oxygen in the ratio given by the empirical formula:

C : H : O = 1 : 2 : 1

Answer : The compound is formaldehyde CH_2O.

Solution :

If percentage are given then we are taking total mass is 100 grams.

So, the mass of each element is equal to the percentage given.

Mass of C = 42.20 g

Mass of H = 6.50 g

Mass of O = 51.30 g

Molar mass of C = 12 g/mole

Molar mass of H = 1 g/mole

Molar mass of O = 16 g/mole

Step 1 : convert given masses into moles.

Moles of C = \frac{\text{ given mass of C}}{\text{ molar mass of C}}= \frac{42.20g}{12g/mole}=3.52moles

Moles of H = \frac{\text{ given mass of H}}{\text{ molar mass of H}}= \frac{6.50g}{1g/mole}=6.50moles

Moles of O = \frac{\text{ given mass of O}}{\text{ molar mass of O}}= \frac{51.30g}{16g/mole}=3.21moles

Step 2 : For the mole ratio, divide each value of moles by the smallest number of moles calculated.

For C = \frac{3.52}{3.21}=1.09\approx 1

For H = \frac{6.50}{3.21}=2.02\approx 2

For O = \frac{3.21}{3.21}=1

The ratio of C : H : O = 1 : 2 : 1

The mole ratio of the element is represented by subscripts in empirical formula.

The Empirical formula = C_1H_2O_1=CH_2O

Hence, from this we conclude that the compound is formaldehyde.

Match these items. 1. moles per liter of solution solute 2. spreading out Keq 3. substance being dissolved diffusion 4. general
Degger [83]

Answer:

1. moles per liter of solution - Molarity

2. spreading out - diffusion

3. substance being dissolved- solute

4. general equilibrium constant - Keq  

5. the substance doing the dissolving in a solution -  solvent

6. solubility product constant - Ksp

Explanation:

Number of moles of substance being dissolved in one liter of solution  is defined as molarity  

Solute is the substance which is dissolved and solvent is the substance into which the solute is dissolved. For example salt is solute and water is solvent.

Ksp defines the solubility product constant which indicates the equilibrium between a solid and solution and the number of ions of solid required to achieve this equilibrium.

Keq depicts the scenario where reactant and product concentrations are constant in a chemical reaction.  

Hence, the correct match is

1. moles per liter of solution - Molarity

2. spreading out - diffusion

3. substance being dissolved- solute

4. general equilibrium constant - Keq  

5. the substance doing the dissolving in a solution -  solvent

6. solubility product constant - Ksp

Real life example of when temperature increases, then the pressure increases.
timurjin [86]

Answer:

Tyre

In cold weather, you might have regularly kept a check on the pressure of the tyres of your car. Driving increases the temperature of the tyres, and, therefore, the air inside the tyre warms and expands. When you measure the pressure of the tyres at the time when you have just driven the car, it will be high. However, in cold weather, the pressure of the tyres will be low. So, it is recommended that you should always measure the pressure of the tyres.

The solubility KI is 50 g in 100 g of H2O at 20 °C. if 110 grams of ki are added to 200 grams of H2O ________
Salsk061 [2.6K]

The solubility KI is 50 g in 100 g of H₂O at 20 °C. if 110 grams of ki are added to 200 grams of H₂O <u>the </u><u>solution </u><u>will be </u><u>saturated</u><u>.</u>

<h3>What is solubility?</h3>

Solubility is a condition where the solute is fully dissolved in the solvent. When fully mixed with the solvent.

Given that 50 g of KI is added to 100 g of water at 20 °C it means 100 g of water can dissolve a maximum of 50 g of  KCl.

1 g of water will dissolve an quantity of 0.5 g of  KCl.

To assay for 200 g of water: 200 g of water can disintegrate a maximum of (0.5) x 200 g of  KCl.

The maximum amount of KCl that will dissolve is 100 g

Actualised amount dissolved = 110 g

when Amount dissolved > Maximum solubility limit

110 g > 100 g

Thus,  the solution is saturated.

Please help me to answer this question.<br>i have to submit tomorrow.​
ratelena [41]

Answer:

The law of conservation of mass states that mass in an isolated system is neither created nor destroyed by chemical reactions or physical transformations. According to the law of conservation of mass, the mass of the products in a chemical reaction must equal the mass of the reactants.
