Answer:

THE EMPIRICAL FORMULA FOR THE UNKNOWN COMPOUND IS C7H9O

Explanation:

The empirical formula for the unknown compound can be obtained by following the processes below:

1 . Write out the percentage composition of the individual elements in the compound

C = 75.68 %

H = 8.80 %

O = 15.52 %

2. Divide the percentage composition by the atomic masses of the elements

C = 75 .68 / 12 = 6.3066

H = 8.80 / 1 = 8.8000

O = 15.52 / 16 = 0.9700

3. Divide the individual results by the lowest values

C = 6.3066 / 0.9700 = 6.5016

H = 8.8000 / 0.9700 = 9.0722

O = 0.9700 / 0.9700 = 1

4. Round up the values to the whole number

C = 7

H = 9

O = 1

5 Write out the empirical formula for the compound

C7H90

In conclusion, the empirical formula for the unknown compound is therefore C7H9O

CO is a primary pollutant.
Anuta_ua [19.1K]

True

Carbon monoxide is a primary pollutant which no odor results from incomplete combustion of fuel. The man sources are gasoline and burning of biomass.

Depending on the source of emission, pollutants can be classified into two groups that is primary and secondary pollutants.

A primary pollutant is emitted in the atmosphere directly from a source. It can be either natural sch as volcanic eruptions, sandstorms or man-made that is due to industrial and vehicle emissions.  Examples of primary pollutants are nitrogen oxides, carbon monoxide and particulate matter.

Secondary pollutant is due to interactions between primary and secondary pollutants. These can be chemical or physical interactions. Examples are photo-chemical oxidants and secondary particulate matter.

Therefore, carbon monoxide CO is a primary pollutant.

g 1. Write a mechanism for the Grignard reaction of benzophenone with phenylmagnesium bromide. Be as complete as possible and sh
My name is Ann [436]

Answer:

See explanation and image attached

Explanation:

The reaction between benzophenone and phenylmagnesium bromide is a Grignard reaction.

A Grignard reagent is any alkyl magnesium halide compound. In this case, the Grignard reagent is phenylmagnesium bromide.

Reaction of Grignard reagent with a ketone yields all alcohol. Thus, the reaction of benzophenone with phenylmagnesium bromide yields triphenyl methanol.

The mechanism of the reaction and all electron movements are shown in the image attached to this answer.

Helga [31]
I'm assuming you mean how many grams of sodium does 8.99 grams of sodium bromide have, because Bromine would not have any sodium in it.

Then, just direct calculate 22.34
(22.34 \div 100) \times 8.99 = 2.008366

Question 5 (1 point)
ollegr [7]

Answer:

0.00125 moles H₃X

Solution and Explanation:

In this question we are required to calculate the number of moles of triprotic acid neutralized in the titration.

Volume of NaOH used = final burette reading - initial burette reading

                                      = 39.18 ml - 3.19 ml

                                      = 35.99 ml or 0.03599 L

Step 1: Moles of NaOH used

Number of moles = Molarity × Volume

Molarity of NaOH = 0.1041 M

Moles of NaOH = 0.1041 M × 0.03599 L

                          = 0.00375 mole

Step 2: Balanced equation for the reaction between triprotic acid and NaOH

The balanced equation is;

H₃X(aq) + 3NaOH(aq) → Na₃X(aq) + 3H₂O(l)

Step 3: Moles of the triprotic acid (H₃X used

From the balanced equation;

1 mole of the triprotic acid reacts with 3 moles of NaOH

Therefore; the mole ratio of H₃X to NaOH is 1 : 3.

Therefore;

Moles of Triprotic acid = 0.00375 mole ÷ 3

                                     = 0.00125 moles

Hence, moles of triprotic acid neutralized during the titration is 0.00125 moles.
