The compound's molecular formula is C2H6. This is obtained by:
  
            mass             moles               divided by smallest moles
C          32g         32/12 = 2.67                                 1
H           8g           8/1.01 = 7.92                        approx. 3

Next, divide both terms by the smallest number of moles, 2.67. This gives 1 and 3. So the empirical formula is CH3 which has a molar mass of 15g/mol. Given the molar mass of the molecular formula as 30g/mole, we can calculate the factor by which to multiply the subscripts of CH3.

X = molar mass of molecular formula / molar mass of empirical formula = 30/15
X=2

So (CH3)2 is C2H6.

A chemist must dilute 34.3mL of 1.72mM aqueous calcium sulfate solution until the concentration falls to 1.00mM. He'll do this b
EastWind [94]

Answer:

58.9mL

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Initial volume  = 34.3mL    = 0.0343dm³

Initial concentration  = 1.72mM   = 1.72 x 10⁻³moldm⁻³

Final concentration  = 1.00mM = 1 x 10⁻³ moldm⁻³

Unknown:

Final volume  =?

Solution:

Often times, the concentration of a standard solution may have to be diluted to a lower one by adding distilled water. To find the find the final volume, we must recognize that the number of moles of the substance in initial and final solutions are the same.

   Therefore;

              C₁V₁  =  C₂V₂

where C and V are concentration and 1 and 2 are initial and final states.

        now input the variables;

                      1.72 x 10⁻³ x  0.0343 = 1 x 10⁻³  x V₂

                        V₂ = 0.0589dm³ = 58.9mL
