A 5.325g sample of methyl benzoate, a compound in perfumes , was found to contain 3.758 g of carbon, 0.316 g of hydrogen, and 1.

Alexxandr [17]

Answer: The empirical and molecular formula of the compound is $C_4H_4O$ and $C_8H_8O_2$ respectively

Explanation:

We are given:

Mass of C = 3.758 g

Mass of H = 0.316 g

Mass of O = 1.251 g

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

Step 1: Converting the given masses into moles.

Moles of Carbon = $\frac{\text{Given mass of Carbon}}{\text{Molar mass of Carbon}}=\frac{3.758g}{12g/mole}=0.313moles$

Moles of Hydrogen = $\frac{\text{Given mass of Hydrogen}}{\text{Molar mass of Hydrogen}}=\frac{0.316g}{1g/mole}=0.316moles$

Moles of Oxygen = $\frac{\text{Given mass of oxygen}}{\text{Molar mass of oxygen}}=\frac{1.251g}{16g/mole}=0.078moles$

Step 2: 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 0.078 moles.

For Carbon = $\frac{0.313}{0.078}=4.01\approx 4$

For Hydrogen = $\frac{0.316}{0.078}=4.05\approx 4$

For Oxygen = $\frac{0.078}{0.078}=1$

Step 3: Taking the mole ratio as their subscripts.

The ratio of C : H : O = 4 : 4 : 1

The empirical formula for the given compound is $C_4H_4O$

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 = 130 g/mol

Mass of empirical formula = 68 g/mol

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$n=\frac{130g/mol}{68g/mol}=1.9\approx 2$

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

$C_{(2\times 4)}H_{(2\times 4)}O_{(2\times 2)}=C_8H_8O_2$

Hence, the empirical and molecular formula of the compound is $C_4H_4O$ and $C_8H_8O_2$ respectively

Explain how research from the glomar challenger helped scientist support the theory of seafloor spreading?

Anna71 [15]

Drill cores from the ocean floor were dated and found to be very young compared to the age of the earth. This means the crust had to be formed recently, which can be explained by creation of crust at a spreading center.

Different measurements are expressed in different units. Choose the correct Sl units for the lo

swat32

Answer:

The SI units for measuring the velocity of the car: meters per second (m/s)

The Sl units for measuring the acceleration of the car: meters per second squared (m/s^2)

The SI units for measuring force: Newton (N)

The SI units for measuring mass: kilograms (kg)

Explanation:

Système international (SI) or International System of Units consist of a list of unit measurement that mostly used by scientist. The scientist from a different country might use different unit that makes them have to convert the result of each other. The usage of the same unit measurement will help the scientist to read that publication easier, make it easier to share and discuss any topic. The unit used is metric since the decimal system also makes the conversion of a unit easier.
