Answer:

The right choice is CHCl₃

Explanation:

  • <u>To find the empirical formula firstly, change the mass to moles.</u>

For Carbon :

no. of moles = (mass / molar mass) = (5.03 g / 12  g/mol )=  0.42 mol

<u><em>For Hydrogen  :</em></u>

no. of moles = (mass / molar mass) = (0.42 g / 1  g/mol )=  0.42 mol

<u><em>For Chlorine :</em></u>

no. of moles = (mass / molar mass) = (44.5 g / 35.5 g/mol )=  1.25 mol

The ratio for Carbon and Hydrogen is  1 : 1

0.42 mol / 042 mol =1.00

  • <u> Then find a ratio between the moles. </u>

The ratio of Chlorine to both Carbon and Hydrogen is 3:1

1.25 mol / 0.42 mol = 2.98 ≅ 3

So the ratio is 1 C : 1 H : 3 Cl.

So, the right choice is CHCl₃

Carbon usually forms four bonds one to Hydrogen and 3 to Chlorine atoms.

Chlorine usually forms one bond to Carbon atom.

Hydrogen usually forms one bond Carbon atom.

Answer:

CHCl₃

Explanation :

In order to deduce the empirical fomula of the compound, we first express the masses given as moles:

Elements C H Cl

Masses given(g) 5.03 0.42 44.5

Then divide through by their respective molar masses:

Molar mass 12 1 35.5

(g/mol)

Number of

Moles(mol) 0.42 0.42 1.254

Dividing by

the smallest(0.42) 1 1 3

The empirical formula of the compound is

CHCl₃

What is the molarity of an H3PO4solution if 15.0 mL is completely neutralized by 38.5 mL of 0.150 MNaOH? Please explain your ans
rodikova [14]

Answer:

M=Molarity

V=volume

change millilitre to litre

so:15ml=0.015 L

:38.5ml=0.0385 L

M1V1=M1V1

M1* 0.015 L= 0.15M*0.0385 L

M1=0.00385

Which is something that a PURE SUBSTANCE and a SOLUTION have in common?
zhuklara [117]

D) They both look uniform (the same) throughout.

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Pure substance can be any element or compound and is formed from one type of atom/molecule only

Meanwhile, the solution is included in a mixture consisting of 2 or more pure substance

Pure substance can be formed through a chemical process while the mixture is through a physical process

Mixture can be separated by physical processes into components of pure substance while pure substance cannot

The mixture itself consists of a homogeneous and heterogeneous solution

The mixture can be divided into a homogeneous mixture if the composition/ratio of each substance in the mixture is the same and a heterogeneous mixture if the ratio of the composition of the substances is not the same (can be varied) in each place.

Mixtures can also be divided into solutions, suspensions, and colloids based mainly on the size of the particles

Homogeneous mixture = Solution

Heterogeneous mixture = suspension, and

The mixture is located between suspension and solution = Colloid

A binding protein binds to a ligand l with a kd of 400 nm what is the concentration of ligand when y is 0.25
vampirchik [111]

Answer:

The answer is 7600 nm.

Explanation:

As, Y = 0.25 = [ L ÷ (400 + (L)]

0.95 x 400 + 0.25 [ L] = [ L ]

380.25  = [ L ] - 0.95 [ L ]

              = 0.05 [L]

[L] = 380 ÷ 0.05 = 7600nm
