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

What is the difference between Mitosis and Meiosis?
kondor19780726 [428]
Mitosis produces two diploid (2n) somatic cells that are genetically identical to each other and the original parent cell, whereas meiosis produces four haploid (n) gametes that are genetically unique from each other and the original parent (germ) cell.

How many grams of hydrogen are in "69" g of ch4o?
nasty-shy [4]

Answer:

             8.62 g of Hydrogen

Solution:

Molar mass of CH₄O (Methanol) is 32 g.mol⁻¹.

It means,

                  32 g of CH₄O contains  =  4 g of Hydrogen

Then,

             69 g of CH₄O will contain  =  X g of Hydrogen

Solving for X,

                    X  =  (69 g × 4 g) ÷ 32 g

                    X  =  8.62 g of Hydrogen

An industrial chemist studying bleaching and sterilizing prepares several hypoclorite buffers.
Vanyuwa [196]

Answer:

pH is 7.60

Explanation:

Let's think the equations:

HClO + H₂O  ⇄  ClO⁻  +  H₃O⁺

As every weak acid, we make an equilbrium

The salt is dissociated in solution

NaClO → Na⁺  +  ClO⁻

                  HClO    +    H₂O    ⇄    ClO⁻    +     H₃O⁺

Initially       0.3m                            0.35m

We have the moles of acid, and the moles of conjugate base.

Reacts          x                                    X                  X

Some amount has reacted, so I obtained (in equilibrium) the moles of base + that amount, and the same amount for H₃O⁺ (ratio is 1:1)

HClO    +    H₂O    ⇄    ClO⁻    +     H₃O⁺

0.3 - x                        0.35 + x           x

Let's make the expression for Ka

Ka = [ClO⁻] . [H₃O⁺]  /  [HClO]

(we don't add water, because it is included in Ka)

2.9x10⁻⁸ = (0.35+x).x  / (0.3-x)

Ka is in order of 10⁻⁸, I can assume that 0.3-x is 0.3  and 0.35 +x =0.3

2.9x10⁻⁸ = (0.35)x  / (0.3)

(2.9x10⁻⁸ .  0.3) /0.35 = x

2.48x10⁻⁸ = x

This is [H₃O⁺]

For pH = - log [H₃O⁺]

pH = 7.60
