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.

Alecsey [184]

Answer:

strength = 10⁻²/10⁻³ = 10 times more acidic

Explanation:

1. A solution with a pH of 9 has a pOH of

pH + pOH = 14 => pOH = 14 - pH = 14 - 9 = 5

2. Which is more acidic, a solution with a pH of 6 or a pH of 4?

pH of 4 => Higher [H⁺] = 10⁻⁴M vs pH of 6 => [H⁺] = 10⁻⁶M

3. How many times more acidic is a solution with a pH of 2 than a solution with a pH of 3?

soln with pH = 2 => [H⁺] = 10⁻²M

soln with pH = 3 => [H⁺] = 10⁻³M

strength = 10⁻²/10⁻³ = 10 times more acidic

4. What is the hydrogen ion concentration [H + ] in a solution that has a pH of 8?

[H⁺] = 10^-pH = 10⁻⁸M

5. A solution has a pOH of 9.6. What is the pH? (Use the formula.)

pH + pOH = 14 => pH = 14 - 9.6 = 4.4

Six line to obtain energy​
Degger [83]

Answer:

energy, in physics, the capacity for doing work. It may exist in potential, kinetic, thermal, electrical, chemical, nuclear, or other various forms. There are, moreover, heat and work—i.e., energy in the process of transfer from one body to another. ... For example, any given body has kinetic energy if it is in motion.
