Answer:

Molecular formula = C₁₂H₁₂O₄

Empirical formula is C₃H₃O.

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of C = 91.63 g

Mass of H = 7.69 g

Mass pf O = 40.81 g

Molar mass of compound = 220 g/mol

Empirical formula = ?

Molecular formula = ?

Solution:

Number of gram atoms of H = 7.69 / 1.01 = 7.61

Number of gram atoms of O = 40.81 / 16 = 2.55

Number of gram atoms of C = 91.63 / 12 = 7.64

Atomic ratio:

C : H : O

7.64/2.55 : 7.61 /2.55 : 2.55/2.55

3 : 3 : 1

C : H : O = 3 : 3 : 1

Empirical formula is C₃H₃O.

Molecular formula:

Molecular formula = n (empirical formula)

n = molar mass of compound / empirical formula mass

Empirical formula mass = 3×12+ 3×1.01 +16 = 55.03

n = 220 / 55.03

n = 4

Molecular formula = 4 (empirical formula)

Molecular formula = 4 (C₃H₃O)

Molecular formula = C₁₂H₁₂O₄

A container with a volume 2. 0 L is filled with a gas at a pressure of 1. 5 atm. By decreasing the volume of the container to 1.

worty [1.4K]

The resulting pressure of the gas after decreasing the initial volume from 2 L to 1 L is 3 atm.

<h3>What is Boyle's Law?</h3>

According to the Boyle's Law at constant temperature, pressure of the gas is inversely proportional to the volume of that gas.

For the given question we use the below equation is:

P₁V₁ = P₂V₂, where

P₁ = initial pressure of gas = 1.5 atm

V₁ = initial volume of gas = 2 L

P₂ = final pressure of gas = ?

V₂ = final volume of gas = 1 L

On putting all these values on the above equation, we get

P₂ = (1.5atm)(2L) / (1L) = 3 atm

Hence required pressure of the gas is 3 atm.

In your own words what is equilibrium?

fenix001 [56]

Answer:

when the forward and reverse reactions occur at equal rates.

chemical reaction is in equilibrium when the concentrations of reactants and products are constant - their ratio does not vary.

A certain electrolyte solution contains 1 gram of salt for every 8 grams of sugar and every 200 grams of water. If the sugar to

12345 [234]

Answer:

The resulting solution contains approximately 666 g of water.

Explanation:

In the initial solution we have:

1g salt : 8g sugar : 200g water

This means that the ratios are:

$\frac{salt}{sugar} = \frac{1}{8} \\\\\frac{sugar}{water} = \frac{8}{200} =\frac{1}{25}$

In the final solution we have:

5g salt: xg sugar: yg water

The new ratios are:

$\frac{salt}{sugar} = \frac{3}{8} \\\\\frac{sugar}{water} = \frac{1}{50}$

Now we can calculate the amount of sugar in the final solution:

$\frac{salt}{sugar} = \frac{5}{x} =\frac{3}{8} \\\\X = 13.333 g$

Finally, we calculate the amount of water:

$\frac{sugar}{water} = \frac{13.333}{y} = \frac{1}{50} \\y = 666.667 g$

How do you find percentage yeild

ch4aika [34]

Answer:

To calculate the percentage of a specific number, you first convert the percentage number to a decimal. This process is the reverse of what you did earlier. You divide your percentage by 100. So, 40% would be 40 divided by 100.
