Determine the empirical formula of a compound containing 48.38 grams of carbon, 8.12 grams of hydrogen, and 53.5 grams of oxygen
Lisa [10]

Answer:

1. The empirical formula is CH2O

2. The molecular formula is C6H12O6

Explanation:

Data obtained from the question include:

Carbon (C) = 48.38g

Hydrogen (H) = 8.12g

Oxygen (O) = 53.5g

Molar Mass of the compound = 180.15 g/mol

1. The empirical formula can be obtained as follow:

C = 48.38g

H = 8.12g

O = 53.5g

Divide each by their molar mass

C = 48.38/12 = 4.032

H = 8.12/1 = 8.12

O = 53.5/16 = 3.344

Next, divide by the smallest

C = 4.032/3.344 = 1

H = 8.12/3.344 = 2

O = 3.344/3.344 = 1

Therefore, the empirical formula is CH2O.

2. The molecular formula is mostly a multiple of the empirical i.e

Molecular formula => [CH2O]n

Now, we need to find the value of 'n' in order to obtain the molecular formula.

From the question given, we were told that the molar mass of the compound is 180.15 g/mol. With this information, the molecular formula can be obtained as follow:

[CH2O]n = 180.15

[12 + (2x1) + 16]n = 180.15

[12 + 2 + 16]n = 180.15

30n = 180.15

Divide both side by the coefficient of n i.e 30

n = 180.15/30

n = 6

Therefore, the Molecular formula is

=> [CH2O]n

=> [CH2O]6

=> C6H12O6

What gas is produced when calcium metal is dropped in water
topjm [15]
Hydrogen gas

Calcium + Water. In the following demonstration, a chunk of calcium metal is dropped into a beaker of distilled water. After a second or so, the calcium metal begins to bubble vigorously as it reacts with the water, producing hydrogen gas, and a cloudy white precipitate of calcium hydroxide.

Which of the following is true about matter
SashulF [63]

Answer: b- it is always a substance

Explanation: matter can be any liquid, gas, or solid that takes up space so the answer cannot be C or D. For answer number A to be true, you would have to remove the word more, because matter just has mass and takes up space it does not have "more mass"

Marrrta [24]

Question is incomplete, the complete question is as follows:

A student wants to examine a substance by altering the bonds within its molecules. Which of the following properties of the substance should the student examine?

A. Toxicity, because it can be observed by altering the state of the substance

B. Boiling point, because it can be observed by altering the state of the substance

C. Toxicity, because it can be observed by replacing the atoms of the substance with new atoms

D. Boiling point, because it can be observed by replacing the atoms of the substance with new atoms

Answer:

B.

Explanation:

A student can examine a substance without altering the bonds within the molecules by examining its boiling point.

The boiling point is the property of a substance, at which the substance changes its state, which is from solid to liquid, liquid to gas and others. So, examining the boiling point will alter the bonds within the molecules as the state of substance will change.

Hence, the correct answer is "B".
