Answer:

36.92 mg of oxygen required for bio-degradation.

Explanation:

5C_6H_6+15O_2\rightarrow 12CO_2+15H_2O

Mass of benzene = 30 mg = 0.03 g (1000 mg = 1 g )

Moles benzene =\frac{0.03 g}{78 g/mol}=0.0003846 mol

According to reaction 5 moles of benzene reacts with 15 moles of oxygen gas.

Then 0.0003846 mol of benzene will react with:

\frac{15}{5}\times 0.0003846 mol=0.0011538 mol of oxygen gas

Mass of 0.0011538 moles of oxygen gas:

0.0011538 mol × 32 g/mol = 0.03692 g = 36.92 mg

36.92 mg of oxygen required for bio-degradation.

Can someone please help me
Mrrafil [7]
I think the answer would be A because O is oxygen and it has 7. Although it’s in parentheses and has a 2 on the outside of those parentheses, so you would multiply and 7 x 2 = 14. 14 is larger than the other ones.
Hopefully I’m right and hopefully that helps.

An unknown compound contains 38.7 % calcium, 19.9 % phosphorus and 41.2 % oxygen. what is the empirical formula of this compound
Temka [501]

The amount per 100 g is:

38.7 % calcium = 38.7g Ca / 100g compound = 38.7g

19.9 % phosphorus = 19.9g P / 100g compound = 19.9g

41.2 % oxygen = 41.2g O / 100g compound = 41.2g

The molar amounts of calcium, phosphorus and oxygen in 100g sample are calculated by dividing each element’s mass by its molar mass:

Ca = 38.7/40.078 = 0.96

P = 19.9/30.97 = 0.64

O = 41.2/15.99 = 2.57

C0efficients for the tentative empirical formula are derived by dividing each molar amount by the lesser value that is 0.64 and in this case, after that multiply wih 2.

Ca = 0.96 / 0.64 = 1.5=1.5 x 2 = 3

P = 0.64 / 0.64 = 1 = 1x2= 2

O = 2.57 / 0.64 = 4= 4x2= 8

Since, the resulting ratio is calcium 3, phosphorus 2 and oxygen 8

<span>So, the empirical formula of the compound is Ca</span>₃(PO₄)₂
