Answer:

Molecular formula = C₂H₄Cl₂

Explanation:

Molecular formula:

Molecular formula consist of symbols of elements present in compound with numbers of atoms of each element in subscript.

Empirical formula:

It is the simplest formula gives the ratio of atoms of different elements in small whole number .

Given data:

Percentage of hydrogen = 4.07%

Percentage of Cl = 71.65%

Percentage of carbon = 24.27%

Molar mass = 99 g/mol

Molecular formula = ?

Solution:

Number of gram atoms of H = 4.07 / 1.01 = 4.0

Number of gram atoms of Cl = 71.65 / 35.5 = 2.0

Number of gram atoms of C = 24.27 / 12 = 2.0

Atomic ratio:

H : C : Cl

4/2 : 2/2 : 2/2

2 : 1 : 1

C : H : Cl = 1 : 2 : 1

Empirical formula is CH₂Cl.

Molecular formula:

Molecular formula = n (empirical formula)

n = molar mass of compound / empirical formula mass

Empirical formula mass = 12+1×2+ 35.5 = 49.5

n = 99/49.5

n = 2

Molecular formula = n (empirical formula)

Molecular formula = 2 ( CH₂Cl)

Molecular formula = C₂H₄Cl₂

What total volume of ozone measured at a pressure of 24.5 mmHg and a temperature of 232 K can be destroyed when all of the chlor

ddd [48]

Answer:

$1.75272\ \text{m}^3$

Explanation:

The breakdown reaction of ozone is as follows

$CF_3Cl + UV \rightarrow CF_3 + Cl$

$Cl + O_3 \rightarrow ClO + O_2$

$O_3 + UV \rightarrow O_2 + O$

$ClO + O \rightarrow Cl + O_2$

It can be seen that 2 moles of ozone is required in the complete cycle

So for 10 cycles, 20 moles of ozone is required

m = Mass of $CF_3Cl$ = 15.5 g

M = Molar mass of $CF_3Cl$ = 104.46 g/mol

P = Pressure = 24.5 mmHg

T = Temperature = 232 K

R = Gas constant = $62.363\ \text{L mmHg/K mol}$

Number of moles is given by

$n=\dfrac{m}{M}\\\Rightarrow n=\dfrac{15.5}{104.46}\\\Rightarrow n=0.1484\ \text{moles}$

$20\ \text{moles} = 20\times 0.1484 = 2.968\ \text{moles}$

From ideal gas law we have

$PV=nRT\\\Rightarrow V=\dfrac{nRT}{P}\\\Rightarrow V=\dfrac{2.968\times 62.363\times 232}{24.5}\\\Rightarrow V=1752.72\ \text{L}=1.75272\ \text{m}^3$

For 20 cycles of the reaction the volume of the ozone is $1.75272\ \text{m}^3$ .

PLS HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! NEED ANSWER NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Alisiya [41]

Answer:

Experiment you will be able to watch a chemical reaction. In this experiment vinegar (a substance) and baking soda (a substance) will mix together. When mixed together the molecules of the two substances will re-arrange, or change, to make new substances.

Vinegar has acetic acid in it. The chemical name for baking soda is sodium bicarbonate. When you mix the two together you get sodium acetate and water. You also get carbon dioxide, which is a gas. The bag puffs up because carbon dioxide is a gas and takes up a lot of space. Eventually the bag isn't big enough to hold all that carbon dioxide gas so it explodes!

Gre4nikov [31]

I believe the answer is A. make a softer sound because the shark will not hear the softer signal.

I say this becasue "Some of the sounds dolphins make are outside the range of human hearing." So that means the the dolphins speak at a higher wavelength then us humans and we can't hear it so they could use that to their advantage and speak at a height wavelength to each other when sharks are near.

I could be wrong, but I think the answer is A.
