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.

A gas has an initial volume of 15 L. If the temperature increases from 330 K to 450 K, what is the new volume.
Artist 52 [7]

Answer:

20.(45)L or about 20.4545L

Explanation:

PV = nRT

Where:

P - pressure

V - volume

n - number of particle moles

R - a constant

T - temperature in K

We can assume the P and n (and definitely R) stay the same, so we infer that

V_1 = \frac{nRT_1}{P} = 15L\\V_2 = \frac{nRT_2}{P}\\V_1 / V_2 = \frac{nRT_1}{P} / \frac{nRT_2}{P} = \frac{T_1}{T_2}\\\\15L / V_2 = \frac{330K}{450K} = \frac{11}{15}\\\\V_2 = 15L \cdot \frac{15}{11} = 20.(45)L

What state of matter is at 35 Celsius
Otrada [13]
Different forms of matter have different melting/boiling points. For example, at 100 degrees Celsius, H2O (water) will turn from lliquid to gas. But NaOH (table salt) doesn't even go from solid to liquid until some 800 degrees Celsius. So, in order to figure out which state matter is at 35 Celsius, you'd have to be more specific about what kind of matter...

Calculate the pH for each of the following cases in the titration of 50.0 mL of 0.210 M HClO(aq) with 0.210 M KOH(aq).
laiz [17]
<span>35.0 mL of 0.210 M
KOH molarity = moles/volume
 find moles of OH do the same thing for: 50.0 mL of 0.210 M HClO(aq) but for H+ they will cancel out: H+ + OH- -> H2O
 but you'll have some left over,
 pH=-log[H+] pOH
     =-log[OH-] pH+pOH
     =14</span>
