Answer: molecular formula = C12H16O8

Explanation:

NB Mm CO2= 44g/mol

Mm H2O= 18g/mol

Moles of CO2 = 36.86/44=0.84mol

0.84mole of CO2 has 0.84 mol of C

Moles of H2O = 10.06/18= 0.56mol

1mol of H20 contains 1mol of O and 2 mol H,

Hence there are 0.56mol O and (0.56×2)mol H

Hence the compound contains

C= 0.84 mol H= 1.12mol O=0.56mol

Divide through by smallest number

C= 0.83/0.56= 1.5mol

H= 1.12/0.55= 2mol

O= 0.56/0.56= 1mol

Multiply all by 2 to have whole number of moles = 3:4:2

Hence empirical formula= C3H4O2

(C3H4O2)n = 288.38

[(12×3) + 4+(16×2)]n= 288.38

72n=288.38

n= 4

:. Molecular formula=(C3H4O2)4= C12H16O8

g A piece of solid Zn metal is put into an aqueous solution of Cu(NO3)2. Write the net ionic equation for any single-replacement
Nimfa-mama [501]

Answer:

Zn(s) + Cu²⁺(aq) ⇒ Zn²⁺(aq) + Cu(s)

Explanation:

Let's consider the molecular single displacement equation between Zn and Cu(NO₃)₂

Zn(s) + Cu(NO₃)₂(aq) ⇒ Zn(NO₃)₂(aq) + Cu(s)

The complete ionic equation includes all the ions and insoluble species.

Zn(s) + Cu²⁺(aq) + 2 NO₃⁻(aq) ⇒ Zn²⁺(aq) + 2 NO₃⁻(aq) + Cu(s)

The net ionic equation includes only the ions that participate in the reaction and insoluble species.

Zn(s) + Cu²⁺(aq) ⇒ Zn²⁺(aq) + Cu(s)

Which of the following has the smallest radius? <br> A. O^2- <br> B. F^- <br> C. Li^- <br> D. Be^2+
nordsb [41]

Answer : The correct option is, (D) Be^{2+}

Explanation :

Effective nuclear charge : It is defined as the attraction of the protons present in the nucleus of an atom to the outermost electrons.

For ions, the effective nuclear charge changes than the neutral atom.

There are two types of ions:

Cations: They are formed when an atom looses its valence electrons. They are positive ions.

Anions: They are formed when an atom gain electrons in its outermost shell. They are negative ions.

For positive ions, the removal of electron increases the nuclear charge for an outermost electron because the outermost electrons are more strongly attracted by the nucleus. Thus, the effective nuclear charge increases for cations.

From this we conclude that, the size of the cation is smaller than their neutral atom because it has less number of electrons while its nuclear charge remains the same. So, the nucleus attracts the electron more towards itself and leads to the decrease in size.

For negative ions, the addition of electron decreases the nuclear charge for an outermost electron because the outermost electrons are less strongly attracted by the nucleus. Thus, the effective nuclear charge decreases for anions.

From this we conclude that, the size of the anion is greater than their neutral atom because it has more number of electrons while its nuclear charge remains the same. So, the nucleus attracts the electron less towards itself and leads to the increase in size.

Thus, the increasing order of radius of ions will be:

Be^{2+}

Hence, the smallest radius of ion is, Be^{2+}
