Answer: The empirical formula is C_2H_6O.

Explanation:

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 = 52.14 g

Mass of H = 13.13 g

Mass of O = 34.73 g

Step 1 : convert given masses into moles.

Moles of C =\frac{\text{ given mass of C}}{\text{ molar mass of C}}= \frac{52.14g}{12g/mole}=4.35moles

Moles of H =\frac{\text{ given mass of H}}{\text{ molar mass of H}}= \frac{13.13g}{1g/mole}=13.13moles

Moles of O =\frac{\text{ given mass of O}}{\text{ molar mass of O}}= \frac{34.73g}{16g/mole}=2.17moles

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

For C =\frac{4.35}{2.17}=2

For H =\frac{13.13}{2.17}=6

For O =\frac{2.17}{2.17}=1

The ratio of  C: H: O = 2: 6: 1

Hence the empirical formula is C_2H_6O.

Which would have the lowest input force?
Afina-wow [57]

Answer:

A long lever with the fulcrum as close as possible to the load

Explanation:

If F be the effort , W be the weight , L₁  be the distance of load from fulcrum and L₂ be the distance of effort from the fulcrum ,

Taking moment of force about the fulcrum , we have

W x L₁ =  F x L₂

F = W x ( L₁ /  L₂ )

F will be minimum when L₁ will be minimum .

Hence  fulcrum should be as close as possible to the load.

Question 9 rank the effective nuclear charge z * experienced by a valence electron in each of these atoms:
AlexFokin [52]
To rank the effective nuclear charge Z* experienced by a valence electrons of a set of atoms that belong to a same period, you only need to apply the rule of trend: it increases as you move from left to right in the period.

So, lets do it for these atoms: P,  Al, Si, Cl

The belong to a same period and the order is Al, Si, P, Cl (just see a periodic table). So the rank is Al < Si < P < Cl

Now, lets do it for these atoms:, Be, Ne, O, C

They belong to the second period. The order is Be, C, O, Ne

So, the rank is Be < C < O < Ne.

A sealed reaction vessel initially contains 1.113×10-2 moles of water vapor and 1.490×10-2 moles of CO(g).
Molodets [167]

Answer:

Kc =\frac{[8.326x10-3]^{1} }{[1.113x10-2]^{1}[1.490x10-2]^{1}  }

Kc = 50.2059

Explanation:

1. Balance the equation

2. Use the Kc formula

Remember that pure substances, like H2 are not included on the Kc formula
