I am finding the formula of a compound that has 60% Carbon, 32% Oxygen, and 8% Hydrogen. Although, when it comes to actually cre

ating the formula I end up with a subscript of 2.5 for C, 1 for O, and 4 for H.
I know I have to double each subscript for the empirical formula, but I am not sure what to do after that in terms of getting the molecular formula.

Answer:

Explanation:

To determine the molecular formula of the compound, the empirical formula must be determined first. To determine the empirical formula, the percentage of each constituent is divided by its molar mass. This is shown below

Carbon = 60/12 = 5

Oxygen = 32/16 = 2

Hydrogen = 8/1 = 8

The next step is to divide each ratio by the smallest value. The smallest value is 2. It becomes

Carbon = 5/2 = 2.5

It is approximated to 3

Oxygen = 2/2 = 1

Hydrogen = 8/2 = 4

Therefore, the empirical formula is

C3H4O

From the given relative molecular mass of the compound, the molecular formula can be determined

Concentrated HCl is 37% m/m. The density of the solution is 1.19 g/mL. Assume you have 100.0 grams of SOLUTION.
sdas [7]

Answer:

M HCl sln = 12.0785 M

Explanation:

  • molarity (M) [=] mol/L
  • %mm = ((mass compound)/(mass sln))*100

∴ mass sln = 100.0 g

∴ δ sln = 1.19 g/mL

∴ % m/m = 37 %

⇒ 37 % =((mass HCl/mass sln))*100

⇒ 0.37 = mass HCl / 100.0 g

⇒ 37 g = mass HCl

∴ molar mass HCl = 36.46 g/mol

⇒ mol HCl = (37 g)*(mol/36.46 g) = 1.015 mol

⇒ volume sln = (100 g sln)*(mL/1.19 g) =  84.034 mL = 0.084034 L

⇒ M HClsln = 1.015 mol/0.084034 L

⇒ M HCl sln = 12.0785 M

You have 100 g of Pb(NO3)2. How many moles is this?​
topjm [15]

Answer:

0.302 moles

Explanation:

Data given

Mass of Pb(NO₃)₂ = 100 g

Moles of Pb(NO₃)₂ = ?

Solution:

To find mole we have to know about molar mass of Pb(NO₃)₂  

So,

Molar mass of Pb(NO₃)₂  = 207 + 2[14 + 3(16)]

                                           = 207 + 2[14 + 48]

                                           = 207 + 124

Molar mass of Pb(NO₃)₂  = 331 g/mol

Formula used :

                no. of moles = mass in grams / molar mass

Put values in above formula

                   no. of moles = 100 g / 331 g/mol

                   no. of moles = 0.302 moles

no. of moles of  Pb(NO₃)₂ = 0.302 moles

What metalloid has commonly been used as an insecticide due<br> to its effectiveness as a poison.
Taya2010 [7]

Answer:

Arsenic.

Explanation:

Hello there!

In this case, since insecticides are substances that act as poisons to get rid of insects in order to prevent their presence and/or reproduction in houses, companies, crops and others, a substance that has been widely used is the metalloid arsenic due to its direct affection of the insect's body (movement, performance, cellular functions).

In addition, high levels of arsenic in food could cause arsenic poisoning in humans as well, that is why such practice must be properly performed and by using the correct security protocol.

Best regards!

What does the number next to ions signify?
dusya [7]
<span>The number next to the simbol of the element ions (as a superscript) means the number of charges of the ion. For example N (+),, where (+) is a superscript means that the charge of the ion is 1+. S(2-), where (2-) is a superscript, means that the charge of the ion is (2-). OH (-), where (-) is a superscript, means that the charge of OH ion is (1-) . </span>
