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

Dos moléculas de Clorato de Potasio en estado sólido, al aplicarle calor se descompone en dos moléculas de Cloruro de Potasio en
DedPeter [7]

Answer:

2KClO3 (s) -------> 2KCl (s) + 3O2 (g)

Explanation:

Una ecuación de reacción química es una representación simbólica de lo que sucede en un recipiente de reacción.

Al escribir la ecuación de reacción química para una reacción particular, se utilizan los símbolos químicos de todas las especies involucradas.

Por la reacción. en el cual dos moléculas de Clorato de Potasio en estado sólido, al aplicar calor se descompone en dos moléculas de Cloruro de Potasio en estado sólido y tres moléculas diatómicas de Oxígeno en estado gaseoso, la ecuación de reacción se escribe así;

2KClO3 (s) -------> 2KCl (s) + 3O2 (g)

La regla para escribir ecuaciones de reacción química balanceada es que el número de átomos de cada elemento en el lado derecho de la ecuación de reacción debe ser el mismo que el número b de átomos del mismo elemento en el lado izquierdo de la ecuación de reacción.

Si realizamos un conteo de átomos simple en ambos lados de la ecuación de reacción, la regla se cumple

Gaseous methane will react with gaseous oxygen to produce gaseous carbon dioxide and gaseous water . Suppose 9.6 g of methane is
lianna [129]

Answer:

21.6 g

Explanation:

The reaction that takes place is:

  • CH₄ + 2O₂ → CO₂ + 2H₂O

First we<u> convert the given masses of both reactants into moles</u>, using their <em>respective molar masses</em>:

  • 9.6 g CH₄ ÷ 16 g/mol = 0.6 mol CH₄
  • 64.9 g O₂ ÷ 32 g/mol = 2.03 mol O₂

0.6 moles of CH₄ would react completely with (2 * 0.6) 1.2 moles of O₂. As there are more O₂ moles than required, O₂ is the reactant in excess and CH₄ is the limiting reactant.

Now we <u>calculate how many moles of water are produced</u>, using the <em>number of moles of the limiting reactant</em>:

  • 0.6 mol CH₄ * \frac{2molH_2O}{1molCH_4} = 1.2 mol H₂O

Finally we<u> convert 1.2 moles of water into grams</u>, using its <em>molar mass</em>:

  • 1.2 mol * 18 g/mol = 21.6 g

A property is a characteristic of a substance that can be observed and does not change the identity of the substance. T/F
Murljashka [212]
The correct answer is false. The statement given does not describe a property in general. However, it speaks of a specific type of property which is the physical property.  This property is the one that does not change the identity of a substance. A property can also be a chemical property where the identity of a substance is changed.

Why is it better to use deionized water in chemistry experiments
Leno4ka [110]

Answer:

Laboratories use both distilled water and deionized water as controls in experiments. Deionization removes only non-charged organic matter from the water.

Explanation:

Distilled water removes even more impurities than deionization does, if the water undergoes a filtering process before boiling and distillation.
