The empirical formula is the simplest number of atoms each can be reduced to. If we want to find the molecular formula, we need to find the right number of atoms of each that will add to the given mass, in this case, 62.0 grams. In this case, we find the individual masses of each element.
Carbon: 12.011 grams

Hydrogen: 1.008 grams * 3 since there are three

Oxygen: 15.999 grams

When we add these, we get a total mass of 31.034 grams. If we multiply it by two, we get the exact mass of the molecule formula, 62.068. Since we multiplied by two, all molecules have to be multiplied by two. That just means we multiply the number of molecules in the compound by two.
Therefore,

Empirical: CH3O

CH3O*2= C2H6O2 = Molecular

You have a gas at a volume of 9.71 L at a pressure of 209 torr and at 10.1 °C. What
Usimov [2.4K]

Answer:

219.95 °C

Explanation:

Given data:

Volume of gas = 9.71 L

Initial pressure = 209 torr (209/760 = 0.275 atm)

Initial temperature = 10.1 °C (10.1 +273 = 283.1 K)

Final temperature = ?

Final pressure = 364 torr (364/760 =0.479 atm)

Solution:

According to Gay-Lussac Law,

The pressure of given amount of a gas is directly proportional to its temperature at constant volume and number of moles.

Mathematical relationship:

P₁/T₁ = P₂/T₂

Now we will put the values in formula:

0.275 atm / 283.1 K = 0.479 atm/T₂

T₂ = 0.479 atm × 283.1 K/ 0.275 atm

T₂ = 135.6 atm. K /0.275 atm

T₂ = 493.1 K

Kelvin to °C:

493.1 K - 273.15 = 219.95 °C

Hello <3 I just need some help with periodic table of elements.
garik1379 [7]

Answer:

11

Explanation:

An atomic number of 11 means this atom will have 11 protons. A mass number of 23 means 23 - 11 this atom will have 12 neutrons. Since this atom is neutral the positive protons must be equal to the negative electrons. This atom will have 11 electrons

Which of the following is a chemical change? Explain your reasoning: (a) boiling canned soup; (b) toasting a slice of bread; (c)
schepotkina [342]

Answer:

(d) burning a log.

(b) toasting a slice of bread;

Explanation:

Chemical change -

A chemical change refers to , the change in which a new compound is formed .

From the question ,

  • boiling canned soup ,

Its is not a chemical process , since no new compound is formed , these is only change in state as the liquid is turning to gaseous sate .

  • Chopping a log ,

It is not a chemical process , as no new substance is formed .

  • toasting a slice of bread

It is a chemical change , in which bread surface is deposited by a brown coat via the process of heating , even this process is a irreversible in nature .

  • burning of log ,

It is a chemical change , as with the help of heating , the wood is turning to ashes .
