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

Biuret reagent will indicate the presence of
weeeeeb [17]
Biuret reagent will indicate the presence of protein in a given sample. It is also known as the Piotrowski's test. This reagent consists of copper (II) sulfate and sodium hydroxide. It detects peptide bonds by the reaction of the copper ions in an alkaline solution. The copper ions would form violet colored complexes when peptide is present in the solution. From this test, concentration can be calculated since the intensity of the color depends on the amount of peptide bonds and according to the Beer-Lambert law concentration and the absorption of light is proportional. The concentration is calculated by a spectrophotometric technique at a wavelength of 540 nm.

What is the pH of a solution with an [H+] = 4.73x10^-7 M
Mice21 [21]

Answer:

The answer to your question is pH = 6.3

Explanation:

Data

pH = ?

[H⁺] = 4.73 x 10⁻⁷ M

pH is the measure of the concentration of [H⁺]. pH measures the acidity of the solution. If the value of pH is between 0 and 6.9, the solution is an acid. If the pH is 7.0 the solution is neutral and if the pH is between 7.1 and 14, the solution is an alkali.

Formula

pH = -log[H⁺]

Substitution

pH = -log[4.73 x 10⁻⁷]

-Simplification

pH = - (-6.3)

-Result

pH = 6.3
