Answer : The empirical formula for C_2H_4(OH)_2 is, CH_2(OH)

Explanation :

Empirical formula : It is the simplest form of the chemical formula which depicts the whole number of atoms of each element present in the compound.  

Molecular formula : it is the chemical formula which depicts the actual number of atoms of each element present in the compound.  

For determining the empirical formula, we need to determine the least whole number and then divide the whole number by the least whole number.

The given molecular formula is, C_2H_4(OH)_2

In this the least whole number is, 2

So, the empirical formula will be, C_{\frac{2}{2}}H_{\frac{4}{2}}(OH)_{\frac{2}{2}}=C_1H_2(OH)_1

Hence, the empirical formula for C_2H_4(OH)_2 is, CH_2(OH)

3. What is the mass of HI used to create 2.50L of a 0.48 M solution of hydroiodic acid?
Daniel [21]

Answer:

Mass = 153.48 g

Explanation:

Given data:

Volume of solution = 2.50 L

Molarity = 0.48 M

Mass required = ?

Solution:

Molarity = number of moles / volume in litter

Number of moles = Molarity × volume in litter

Number of moles = 0.48 M  × 2.50 L

Number of moles =  1.2 mol

Mass of HI:

Number of moles = mass/molar mass

Mass = Number of moles × molar mass

Mass = 1.2 mol × 127.9 g/mol

Mass = 153.48 g

Oxygen gas is esential for living beings why​
Darina [25.2K]
Oxygen plays a critical role in respiration, the energy-producing chemistry that drives the metabolisms of most living things. We humans, along with many other creatures, need oxygen in the air we breathe to stay alive. Oxygen is generated during photosynthesis by plants and many types of microbes.

Why does ionization energy decrease down a group?
german
Ionization energy = the amount of energy it takes for an atom to lose an electron

Remember that the nucleus is positively charged and the electrons are negatively charged. Because those opposite charges attract, the nucleus is pulling the electron towards it and so, the closer an electron is to the nucleus of an atom, the stronger it is being pulled.

Now remember that as more electrons are added to match the number of protons, the shells fill up and each new shell that is made to accommodate for the electrons is further away from the nucleus. That means that the more electrons are in an atom, the more shells there are, and as the shells get further away from the nucleus, the electrons in those shells are pulled with much less force than electrons in the closer shells.

Now all that's left to remember is that as you go down the groups, the elements have bigger numbers of protons and so they have more electrons and so more shells.

Ta da!! Hope that helps!! :D
