The empirical formula is C₇H₆O₂.

Assume that you have 100 g of the compound.

Then you have 68.84 g C and 4.962 g H.

Mass of O = (100 – 68.84 – 4.962) g = 26.20 g O.

Now, we must convert these masses to moles and find their ratios.

From here on, I like to summarize the calculations in a table.

<u>Element</u>     <u>Mass/g</u>    <u>Moles</u>    <u>Ratio</u>    <u> ×2</u>   <u>Integers</u>  

     C           68.84      5.732    3.501  7.001       7

     H            4.962    4.923    3.006  6.012      6

     O          26.20      1.638     1          2             2

The empirical formula is C₇H₆O₂.

How would you prepare 175 mL of a 0.350kmol/m^3 calcium nitrate solution
SVEN [57.7K]
0,35 kmol/m³ = 0,35 mol/dm³ = 0,35 mol/L
175 mL = 0,175 L
*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*
C = n/V
n = 0,35×0,175
n = 0,06125 mol

mCa(NO₃)₂: 40+(14×2)+(16×6) = 164 g/mol

1 mol --------- 164g
0,06125 ---- X
X = 10,045g

To prepare 175 mL of 0,35M solution, add 10,045g of calcium nitrate and add water to a volume of 175ml.

The rapid movement of gases molecules can be explained because gases have ___ size particles and exert _____ attraction for othe
Marrrta [24]
The answers that fit the blanks are SMALL and LITTLE, respectively. The particles or molecules or fas are small which makes it loose and easily moves around, and these only exert little attraction for other gas particles. The answer for this would be option D.

Why gold is called inert metal​
astraxan [27]

Gold has a heavy enough nucleus that its electrons must travel at speeds nearing the speed of light to prevent them from falling into the nucleus. This relativistic effect applies to those orbitals that have appreciable density at the nucleus, such as s and p orbitals. These relativistic electrons gain mass and as a consequence, their orbits contract. As these s and (to some degree) p orbits are contracted, the other electrons in d and f orbitals are better screened from the nucleus and their orbitals actually expand.

Since the 6s orbital with one electron is contracted, this electron is more tightly bound to the nucleus and less available for bonding with other atoms. The 4f and 5d orbitals expand, but can't be involved in bond formation since they are completely filled. This is why gold is relatively unreactive.

Hope it helps

Acetylene gas (c2h2) reacts with oxygen gas (o2) to produce carbon dioxide (co2) and water vapor (h2o). how many liters of c2h2
MissTica
According to the balanced equation of the reaction:

2C2H2 + 5O2 → 4CO2 + 2H2O

So we can mention all as liters,

A) as we see that 2 liters of C2H2 react with 5 liters of oxygen to produce 4 liters of CO4 and 2 liters of H2O 

So, when we have 75L of CO2

and when we have 2 L of C2H2 reacts and gives 4 L of CO2

 2C2H2 → 4CO2 

∴ The volume of C2H2 required is:

                    = 75L / 2

                    = 37.5 L

B) and, when we have 75 L of CO2


and 4CO2 → 2H2O 

∴ the volume of H2O required is: 
                               
                            = 75 L /2
                            = 37.5 L 


C) and from the balanced equation and by  the same way:

when 5 liters O2  reacts to give 4 liters of CO2

and we have 75 L of CO2:

5 O2 → 4 CO2 

   ??  ←  75 L

∴ the volume of O2 required is:

                              = 75 *(5/4)

                              = 93.75 L



D) about the using of the number of moles the answer is: 

no, there is no need to find the number of moles as we called everything in the balanced equation by liters and use it as a liter unit to get the volume, without the need to get the number of moles.

The equation below represents a double replacement/displacement reaction;
Naddik [55]
AB+XY->AY+XB
We know that the answer would be KCl because of the switching that takes place during a double displacement reaction. Just like Zn and MnO4 switched and combined, the remaining elements, K and Cl, will combine.
We know that the answer is simply KCl because both K and Cl have an ion of only +/-1, meaning when they cross, no suffixes are made, since their ions are only 1.
For example, if you combined Mg with Cl, you would get MgCl2, because Mg has an ion of +2.
I hope this helps!
