A common fuel additive that is composed of C, H, and O enhanced the performance of gasoline began being phased out in 1999 becau

se of its contamination of drinking water. When 12.1 g of the compound are burned, 30.2 g of CO2and 14.8 g of H2O are formed. What is the empirical formula of the compound?

Answer:

C₅ H₁₂ O

Explanation:

44 g of CO₂ contains 12 g of C

30.2 g of CO₂ will contain 12 x 30.2 / 44 = 8.236 g of C .

18 g of H₂O contains 2 g of hydrogen

14.8 g of H₂0 will contain 1.644 g of  H .

total compound = 12.1 out of which 8.236 g is C and 1.644 g is H , rest will be O

gram of O = 2.22

moles of C, O, H in the given compound =  8.236 / 12 , 2.22 / 16 , 1.644 / 1

= .6863 , .13875 , 1.644

ratio of their moles = 4.946 : 1 : 11.84

rounding off to digits

ratio = 5 : 1 : 12

empirical formula = C₅ H₁₂ O

Answer:

The voltage or potential difference

Explanation:

What makes current flow in a circuit is the voltage or the potential difference.

This force is supplied by the battery or the mains electrical circuit.

  • Every circuit requires the voltage to drive current through
  • When a circuit is complete, the battery is able to overcome any resistance by the generating enough voltage which is the force to drive the current through.

Why does Hess's law allow you to determine the enthalpy change of a<br> reaction?
lana [24]

Enthalpy is a state function

Explanation:

The Hess's law allows us to determine the enthalpy change of a reaction because enthalpy is a state function. It does not depend on the individual path take in going from reactants to products in the reaction.

  • Enthalpy changes are the heat changes accompanying physical and chemical changes.
  • It is the difference between the heat content of product in the final state and the reactants.
  • Enthalpy changes for some reactions are not easily measurable experimentally.
  • To calculate such heat changes, we apply the Hess's law of heat summation.
  • The law states that "the heat change of a reaction is the same whether it occurs in a step or several steps".
  • The Hess's law is simply based on the first law of thermodynamics by which we know that energy is conserved in every system.
