chlorine has the atomic mass of 35.5 and is a non metal in the halogen family
Answer:
C2H2O4
Explanation:
To get the molecular formula, we first get the empirical formula. This can be done by dividing the percentage compositions by the atomic masses. The percentage compositions are shown as follows :
C = 26.86%
H = 2.239%
O = 100 - ( 26.86 + 2.239) = 70.901%
We then proceed to divide by their atomic masses. Atomic mass of carbon is 12 a.m.u , H = 1 a.m.u , O = 16 a.m.u
The division is as follows:
C = 26.86/12 = 2.2383
H = 2.239/1 = 2.239
O = 70.901/16 = 4.4313
We now divide each by the smallest number I.e 2.2383
C = 2.2383/2.2383 = 1
H = 2.239/2.2383 = 1
O = 4.4313/2.2383 = 1.98 = 2
Thus, the empirical formula is CHO2.
To get the molecular formula, we use the molar mass .
(CHO2)n = 90
We add the atomic masses multiplied by n.
(12 + 1 + 2(16))n = 90
45n = 90
n = 90/45 = 2.
Thus , the molecular formula is C2H2O4
Answer:
The pH of a solution of 0.00278 M of HClO₄ is 2.56
Explanation:
pH is a measure of acidity or alkalinity that indicates the amount of hydrogen ions present in a solution or substance and is calculated as:
pH= - log [H⁺]= - log [H₃O⁺]
On the other hand
, a Strong Acid is that acid that in an aqueous solution dissociates completely. In other words, a strong acid completely dissociates into hydrogen ions and anions in solution.
HClO₄ is a strong acid, so in aqueous solution it will be totally dissociated. Then, the concentration of protons is equal to the initial concentration of acid and the pH will be calculated:
pH= - log 0.00278
pH= 2.56
<u><em>The pH of a solution of 0.00278 M of HClO₄ is 2.56</em></u>
Answer: kg= 0.37
Explanation:
Use the molality formula.
M= m/kg
