Answer:

Pd(O2CCH3)2

Pd2C8H12O8

Explanation:

<u>Given:</u>

% Pd = 47.40

% O = 28.50

% C = 21.40

% H = 2.69

<u>To determine:</u>

Molecular formula of the compound containing Pd, O, C and H

<u>Calculation:</u>

Let the mass of the compound = 100g

Therefore based on the % compositions:

Mass of Pd = 47.40g

Mass of O = 28.50g

Mass of C = 21.40g

Mass of H = 2.69g

Atomic mass of Pd = 106.42 g/mol

Atomic mass of O = 15.99 g/mol

Atomic mass of C = 12.01 g/mol

Atomic mass of H = 1.00 g/mol

moles\ of\ Pd = \frac{47.40g}{106.42g/mol} =0.4454

moles\ of\ O = \frac{28.50g}{15.99g/mol} =1.782

moles\ of\ C = \frac{21.40g}{12.01g/mol} =1.782

moles\ of\ H= \frac{2.69g}{1.00g/mol} =2.690

Ratio:

Pd = \frac{0.4454}{0.4454} = 1.00\\\\O = \frac{1.782}{0.4454} = 4.00\\\\C = \frac{1.782}{0.4454} = 4.00\\\\H = \frac{2.690}{0.4454} = 6.039

The empirical formula is : PdO4C4H6

Molecular formula = n(Empirical formula)

If n = 1

Molecular formula = PdO4C4H6 i.e. Pd(O2CCH3)2

If n= 2

Molecular formula = 2(PdO4C4H6)= Pd2O8C8H12

How do you balance redox equations in acidic solutions?
Anuta_ua [19.1K]

Answer:

First, balance the half-reactions

Second, equalize the electrons

Third,add two reaction equations to get final answer

Explanation:

For example

H₂C₂0₄ + MnO⁻₄ ---------->CO₂+Mn²⁺

(i) Balancing the half reactions

H₂C₂O₄-------->2CO₂+2H⁺+2e⁻

5e⁻ +8H⁺+MnO₄⁻----------->Mn²⁺+4H₂O

(ii)

Equalizing the electrons

5H₂C₂O₄--------->10CO₂+10H⁺+10e⁻  ---here there is a factor of 5

10e⁻+16H⁺+2MnO₄⁻--------->2Mn²⁺+8H₂O -----here there is a factor of 2

(iii)

Add the two where electrons and some Hydrogen ions will cancel out

5H₂C₂O₄+6H⁺+2MnO₄⁻---->10CO₂+2Mn²⁺+8H₂O

What is the density of a liquid if 12.5 ml of the liquid has a density of 9.80 g?
blagie [28]

Answer:

The answer is

<h2>0.784 g/mL</h2>

Explanation:

The density of a substance can be found by using the formula

<h3>density =  \frac{mass}{volume}</h3>

From the question

mass of liquid = 9.8 g

volume = 12.5 mL

The density is

density =  \frac{9.8}{12.5}

We have the final answer as

<h3>0.784 g/mL</h3>

Hope this helps you

Istinguish between ionic and molecular compounds in terms of the basic
Murrr4er [49]

Answer:

In molecular compound atoms are held together through covalent bond. It is formed between the non metals.

In ionic compounds positive and negative ions held together through electrostatic attraction. It is formed between metal and non metal.

Explanation:

Ionic compound:

In ionic compounds positive and negative ions held together through electrostatic attraction. It is formed between metal and non metal.

For example:

Sodium chloride is ionic compound. Te sodium metal lose it electron and this electron is accept by the chlorine atom. Sodium became positive ion while chlorine became negative ion. The forces develop between them are electrostatic forces.

Molecular compound:

In molecular compound atoms are held together through covalent bond. It is formed between the non metals.

For example:

Carbon dioxide is molecular compound. It is made up of carbon and oxygen atoms. Both atoms share the electrons with each other and form two double bond O=C=O.
