<u>Answer:</u> The empirical and molecular formula for the given organic compound is CH and C_{10}H_{10} and it is not an alkane.

<u>Explanation:</u>

The chemical equation for the combustion of hydrocarbon having carbon and hydrogen follows:

C_xH_y+O_2\rightarrow CO_2+H_2O

where, 'x' and 'y' are the subscripts of Carbon, hydrogen and oxygen respectively.

We are given:

Mass of CO_2=0.364g

Mass of H_2O=0.0596g

We know that:

Molar mass of carbon dioxide = 44 g/mol

Molar mass of water = 18 g/mol

<u>For calculating the mass of carbon:</u>

In 44 g of carbon dioxide, 12 g of carbon is contained.

So, in 0.364 g of carbon dioxide, \frac{12}{44}\times 0.364=0.0993g of carbon will be contained.

<u>For calculating the mass of hydrogen:</u>

In 18 g of water, 2 g of hydrogen is contained.

So, in 0.0596 g of water, \frac{2}{18}\times 0.0596=0.0067g of hydrogen will be contained.

To formulate the empirical formula, we need to follow some steps:

  • <u>Step 1:</u> Converting the given masses into moles.

Moles of Carbon =\frac{\text{Given mass of Carbon}}{\text{Molar mass of Carbon}}=\frac{0.0993g}{12g/mole}=0.00828moles

Moles of Hydrogen = \frac{\text{Given mass of Hydrogen}}{\text{Molar mass of Hydrogen}}=\frac{0.0067g}{1g/mole}=0.0067moles]

  • <u>Step 2:</u> Calculating the mole ratio of the given elements.

For the mole ratio, we divide each value of the moles by the smallest number of moles calculated which is 0.0067 moles.

For Carbon = \frac{0.00828}{0.0067}=1.23\approx 1

For Hydrogen = \frac{0.0067}{0.0067}=1

  • <u>Step 3:</u> Taking the mole ratio as their subscripts.

The ratio of C : H = 1 : 1

The empirical formula for the given compound is CH

For determining the molecular formula, we need to determine the valency which is multiplied by each element to get the molecular formula.

The equation used to calculate the valency is:

n=\frac{\text{Molecular mass}}{\text{Empirical mass}}

We are given:

Mass of molecular formula = 128.2 g/mol

Mass of empirical formula = 13 g/mol

Putting values in above equation, we get:

n=\frac{128.2g/mol}{13g/mol}=9.86\approx 10

Multiplying this valency by the subscript of every element of empirical formula, we get:

C_{(1\times 10)}H_{(1\times 10)}=C_{10}H_{10}

The general formula of an alkane is C_nH_{(2n+2)}, where n = any natural number

Here, n = 10 and it does not satisfy being an alkane

Hence, the empirical and molecular formula for the given organic compound is CH and C_{10}H_{10} and it is not an alkane.

Chloroform has a density of 1.483g/ml. A sample of chloroform has a volume of 1.93 liters. How many kilograms does it weight? ​
ollegr [7]

Weight of Chloroform : = 2.862 kg

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

Density 1.483 g/ml

Volume = 1.93 L

Required

Weight of Chloroform

Solution

Density is a quantity derived from the mass and volume  

Density is the ratio of mass per unit volume  

Density formula:  

\large {\boxed {\bold {\rho ~ = ~ \frac {m} {V}}}}

ρ = density  

m = mass  

v = volume  

Convert density to kg/L :

=1.483g/ml = 1.483 kg/L

So the weight(mass) :

= ρ x V

= 1.483 kg/L x 1.93 L

= 2.862 kg

Which feature of four different marine fossils makes the fossil organism most similar to the present-day organism with four limb
zvonat [6]
I found the rest of the exercise on the internet and these are the options.
"-Undifferentiated vertebrae throughout the body.
-One neck vertebra allowing up and down movement.
-Many neck vertebrae that allow for greater mobility.
<span>-Two neck vertebrae allowing up and down and sideways movement."

The correct answer would be the third. - "</span>Many neck vertebrae that allow for greater mobility." The <span>present-day organism with four limbs has a neck with several vertebrae that allow movements of rotation (mostly because of only two vertebrae at the top of the neck), and side way movements, as well as back and forth movements.</span>
