Answer:

molecular formula of compound =C₉H₂₄O₃

Explanation:

The compound contains only C,H and O

The combustion equation for carbon is:

C+O_{2}-->CO_{2}

Thus if we are obtaining 44g of carbon dioxide it means the amount of carbon is 12g.

If we are getting 1g of carbon dioxide, it means the amount of carbon = \frac{12}{44}g

If we are getting 561mg of carbon dioxide, it means the amount of carbon=\frac{12X561}{44}=153mg

So the mass of carbon in the given sample = 153mg

Percentage of carbon = \frac{massofcarbonX100}{massofsample}=\frac{153X100}{255}=60

The combustion equation for hydrogen is:

H_{2}+0.5O_{2}-->H_{2}O

Thus if we are obtaining 18g of water it means the amount of hydrogen is 2g.

If we are getting 1g of water, it means the amount of hydrogen = \frac{2}{18}g

If we are getting 306mg of water, it means the amount of hydrogen=\frac{2X306}{18}=34mg

So the mass of hydrogen in the given sample = 34mg

Percentage of hydrogen = \frac{massofhydrogenX100}{massofsample}=\frac{34X100}{255}=13.33

Percentage of oxygen=100-(60+13.33)=26.67%

The moles of each element in 100g of sample will be

moles of carbon = \frac{mass}{atomicmass}=\frac{60}{12}=5

moles of hydrogen = \frac{mass}{atomicmass}=\frac{13.33}{1}=13.33

moles of oxygen = \frac{mass}{atomicmass}=\frac{26.67}{16}=1.67

Let us divide all the moles with 1.67

moles of carbon = 3

moles of hydrogen = 8

moles of oxygen = 1

So the empirical formula of the compound would be:C₃H₈O

The empirical mass = 60

molar mass = 180g

So the molecular formula will be = \frac{180}{60}Xempiricalformula

molecular formula=C₉H₂₄O₃

The combustion of an organic compound is mostly written as,
                        CaHbOc + O2 --> CO2 + H2O
where a, b, and c are supposed to be the subscripts of the elements C, H, and O in the compound. Determining the number of moles of C and H in the product which is the same as that in the compound,
   (Carbon, C)   :   (561 mg) x (12/44) = 153 mg x (1 mmole/12 mg) = 12.75
   (Hydrogen, H) :  (306 mg) x (2/18)  = 34 mg x (1 mmole/1 mg) = 34 
   Calculating for amount of O in the sample,
(oxygen, O) = 255 - 153 mg - 34 mg = 68 mg x (1mmole/16 mg) = 4.25 
The empirical formula is therefore,
                        C(51/4)H34O17/4
                           C3H8O1
The molar mass of the empirical formula is 60. Therefore, the molecular formula of the compound is,
                                C9H24O3

What is the frequency of radiation whose wavelength is 2.25 X 10^-5cm?
Semenov [28]

Answer:

1.25 x 10^15Hz

Explanation:

c = frequency x wavelength

c is the speed of light, which is equal to 3.00 x 10^8 m / s

frequency = c /wavelength

= (3.00 x 10^8m /s) / (2.40 x 10^-5 cm x 1 m /100cm)

= (3.00 x 10^8 m/s) / 2.40 x 10^-7m

= 1.25 x 10^15/s 1 / s = 1Hz

So, the Frequency = 1.25 x 10^15Hz

I hope this helped :)

What stress would shift the equilibrium position of the following system to the left?
Margarita [4]

Answer:

Heating the system

Explanation:

According to the principle of Le Chatelier, for a system at equilibrium, a specific disturbance would make the equilibrium shift toward the direction which minimizes such a disturbance.

Since we wish to shift the equilibrium to the left, this means we wish to increase the concentration of products, as an excess in their concentration would make the products react and produce more reactants in order to lower the excess concentration of products.

Since heat is also a product, an increase in heat would shift the equilibrium toward the left, as this would consume the excess of heat by producing the reactants.
