Answer:The empirical formula is C_{2}H_{3}O   and molecular formula is  C_{14}H_{21}O_7

Solution : Given,

If percentage are given then we are taking total mass is 100 grams.

So, the mass of each element is equal to the percentage given.

Mass of C = 55.80 g

Mass of H = 7.04 g

Mass of O = 37.16 g

Step 1 : convert given masses into moles.

Moles of C =[tex] \frac{\text{ given mass of C}}{\text{ molar mass of C}}= \frac{55.80g}{12g/mole}=4.65moles

Moles of H = \frac{\text{ given mass of H}}{\text{ molar mass of H}}= \frac{7.04g}{1g/mole}=7.04moles

Moles of O = \frac{\text{ given mass of O}}{\text{ molar mass of O}}= \frac{37.16g}{16g/mole}=2.32moles

Step 2 : For the mole ratio, divide each value of moles by the smallest number of moles calculated.

For C = \frac{4.65}{2.32}=2

For H = \frac{7.04}{2.32}=3

For O =\frac{2.32}{2.32}=1

The ratio of C : H : O= 2:3:1

Hence the empirical formula is C_{2}H_{3}O  

The empirical weight ofC_{2}H_{3}O = 2(12)+3(1) +1(16)= 43g.

The molecular weight = 301.35 g/mole

Now we have to calculate the molecular formula.

n=\frac{\text{Molecular weight of metal}}{\text{Equivalent of metal}}

n=\frac{301.35g/mole}{43g/eq}=7

Thus molecular formula will be 7\times C_{2}H_{3}O=C_{14}H_{21}O_7

55.80 C/12= 4.65/2.3225= 2

7.04 H/1= 7.04/2.3225= 3

37.16 O/16= 2.3225/2.3225= 1

Empirical Formula= C2H3O

301.35/43= 7

(C2H3O)7= C14H21O7= Molecular Formula

Conversion of minus 1 coulomb meter in debye
Viktor [21]

Answer:

-1 Coulomb meter = -2.997 × 10²⁹ Debye

Explanation:

Given:

Coulomb meter = -1 CM

Find:

In debye

Computation:

We know that,

1 Coulomb meter = 299,792,458,178,090,000,000,000,000,000 Debye

So,

-1 Coulomb meter = -299,792,458,178,090,000,000,000,000,000 Debye

-1 Coulomb meter = -2.997 × 10²⁹ Debye

Round off the following number to 3 digits 34,560​
Vikki [24]

Answer:

3.46x10⁴

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, we can see that the number 34,560 has five significant figures, it means that if we want to write it with three, we must take the 3, 4 and 5 only. Nevertheless, since the 6 after the five is greater than 5, we can round such five to 6, so we obtain:

346

However, the decimal places cannot get lost, therefore, we move the given thousand  to the three, so the number turns out:

3.46x10⁴

Best regards.

When elemental boron, B, is burned in oxygen gas, the product is diboron trioxide. If the diboron trioxide is then reacted with
zalisa [80]

<u>Answer:</u> The chemical equation is written below.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Every balanced chemical equation follows law of conservation of mass.

This law states that mass can neither be created nor be destroyed but it can only be transformed from one form to another form. This also means that total number of individual atoms on reactant side must be equal to the total number of individual atoms on the product side.  

The chemical equation for the reaction of elemental boron and oxygen gas follows:

4B+3O_2\rightarrow 2B_2O_3

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

4 moles of elemental boron reacts with 3 moles of oxygen gas to produce 2 moles of diboron trioxide.

The chemical equation for the reaction of diboron trioxide and water follows:

B_2O_3+3H_2O\rightarrow 2H_3BO_3

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

1 mole of diboron trixoide reacts with 3 moles of water to produce 2 moles of boric acid.

Hence, the chemical equations are written above.
