Answer:

Empirical formula is CCl₄

Explanation:

Given data:

Percentage of carbon = 7.70%

Percentage of chlorine = 92.3%

Empirical formula = ?

Solution:

Number of gram atoms of Cl = 92.3 / 35.5 = 2.6

Number of gram atoms of C = 7.70 / 12 = 0.64

Atomic ratio:

            C                      :              Cl            

           0.64/0.64        :             2.6/0.64

            1                      :                4        

C : Cl  = 1 : 4

Empirical formula is CCl₄.

Which method would increase the solubility of gas​
jeka94

Answer:

BY increasing pressure and decreasing temperature.

Explanation:

  • The solubility of a gas increases with decrease in the temperature.
  • Also the solubility of a gas increases with increasing pressure.

  • A gas can be compressed by increasing the pressure and decreasing the temperature.
  • FOR example the gas in domestic LPG cylinders are in compressed form inside the cylinder.
  • A gas takes the form of a liquid after compressing. Whenever it comes back to normal temperature and pressure it takes back to its gaseous form back.

The gaseous oxygen is water soluble and does not react with it

                   O2 + 2H2O + 4 e= 4 OH-

How many moles of oxygen are present in a cylinder of 25.0 liters at a temperature of 0. °C and a pressure of 1.00 atm
Akimi4 [234]

Answer:

1.12 moles

Explanation:

To find the amount of moles, you need to use the Ideal Gas Law:

PV = nRT

In this equation,

-----> P = pressure (atm)

-----> V = volume (L)

-----> n = moles

-----> R = Ideal Gas constant (0.08206 atm*L/mol*K)

-----> T = temperature (K)

After converting the temperature from Celsius to Kelvin, you can plug the given values into the equation and solve for "n".

P = 1.00 atm                     R = 0.08206 atm*L/mol*K

V = 25.0 L                        T = 0. °C + 273 = 273 K

n = ? moles

PV = nRT

(1.00 atm)(25.0 L) = n(0.08206 atm*L/mol*K)(273 K)

25.0 = n(22.4)

1.12 = n

Find the zeros of the quadratic equation f(x)= 6x²-3, and verify the relation between its zeros and coefficients.
pishuonlain [190]

Answer:

f(x) = 6x²-3

f(x) = 0

6x²-3 = 0

6x² = 3

x² = 3/6

x² = 1/2

x = 1/√2 , -1/√2

Roots of f(x) = 1/√2 , -1/√2

Verification = (i) 6(1/√2)² - 3

= 6(1/2) - 3

= 3-3

= 0

(ii) 6(-1/√2)² - 3

= 6(1/2) - 3

= 3-3

= 0
