Answer:

The Empirical Formula.

Explanation:

From the empirical formula and using the weight (in g) of a given substance, we can come up with the molecular formula which is the actual weight of a substance. Sometimes, we find that the empircal formula is the molecular formula.

It is also known as depression between freezing point where, i is the Van't Hoff factor.

Let us assume that there is 100% dissociation. Hence, the value of i for these given species will be as follows.

i for = 3

i for glucose = 1

i for NaCl = 2

Depression in freezing point will have a negative sign. Therefore, d

depression in freezing point for the given species is as follows.

Therefore, we can conclude that given species are arranged according to their freezing point depression with the least depression first as follows.

A 13.30 gram sample of an organic compound containing C, H and O is analyzed by combustion analysis and 13.00 grams of CO2 and 2

a_sh-v [17]

Answer: The empirical and molecular formula for the given organic compound is $CHO_2$ and $C_2H_2O_4$

Explanation:

The chemical equation for the combustion of hydrocarbon having carbon, hydrogen and oxygen follows:

$C_xH_yO_z+O_2\rightarrow CO_2+H_2O$

where, 'x', 'y' and 'z' are the subscripts of Carbon, hydrogen and oxygen respectively.

We are given:

Mass of $CO_2=13.00g$

Mass of $H_2O=2.662g$

We know that:

Molar mass of carbon dioxide = 44 g/mol

Molar mass of water = 18 g/mol

For calculating the mass of carbon:

In 44 g of carbon dioxide, 12 g of carbon is contained.

So, in 13.00 g of carbon dioxide, $\frac{12}{44}\times 13.00=3.54g$ of carbon will be contained.

For calculating the mass of hydrogen:

In 18 g of water, 2 g of hydrogen is contained.

So, in 2.662 g of water, $\frac{2}{18}\times 2.662=0.296g$ of hydrogen will be contained.

Mass of oxygen in the compound = (13.30) - (3.54 + 0.296) = 9.464 g

To formulate the empirical formula, we need to follow some steps:

Step 1: Converting the given masses into moles.

Moles of Carbon = $\frac{\text{Given mass of Carbon}}{\text{Molar mass of Carbon}}=\frac{3.54g}{12g/mole}=0.295moles$

Moles of Hydrogen = $\frac{\text{Given mass of Hydrogen}}{\text{Molar mass of Hydrogen}}=\frac{0.296g}{1g/mole}=0.296moles$

Moles of Oxygen = $\frac{\text{Given mass of oxygen}}{\text{Molar mass of oxygen}}=\frac{9.465g}{16g/mole}=0.603moles$

Step 2: Calculating the mole ratio of the given elements.

For the mole ratio, we divide each value of the moles by the smallest number of moles calculated which is 0.295 moles.

For Carbon = $\frac{0.295}{0.295}=1$

For Hydrogen = $\frac{0.296}{0.295}=1$

For Oxygen = $\frac{0.603}{0.295}=2.044\approx 2$

Step 3: Taking the mole ratio as their subscripts.

The ratio of C : H : O = 1 : 1 : 2

Hence, the empirical formula for the given compound is $CHO_2$

For determining the molecular formula, we need to determine the valency which is multiplied by each element to get the molecular formula.

The equation used to calculate the valency is :

$n=\frac{\text{Molecular mass}}{\text{Empirical mass}}$

We are given:

Mass of molecular formula = 90.04 g/mol

Mass of empirical formula = 45 g/mol

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$n=\frac{90.04g/mol}{45g/mol}=2$

Multiplying this valency by the subscript of every element of empirical formula, we get:

$C_{(1\times 2)}H_{(1\times 2)}O_{(2\times 2)}=C_2H_2O_4$

Hence, the empirical and molecular formula for the given organic compound is $CHO_2$ and $C_2H_2O_4$

The temperature of a boiling liquid can rise above its boiling point. a. true b. false

goldenfox [79]

The temperature of a liquid can exceed its boiling point. An example is water. Although at ordinary pressure of 1 atm, the boiling point is 100 degrees, water can still exist in higher temperatures but this time in another state. Superheated steam is the term used for water whose temperature has higher than the boiling point
