Answer:

C11H25SO4

Explanation:

The total mass of the compound is 253.4 g, so, the mass of each element will be:

C: 52.14% of 253.4 = 0.5214x253.4 = 132.12 g

H: 9.946% of 253.4 = 0.09946x253.4 = 25.20 g

S: 12.66% of 253.4 = 0.1266x253.4 = 32.08 g

O: 25.26% of 253.4 = 0.2526x253.4 = 64.00 g

The molar mass are: C = 12 g/mol, H 1 g/mol, S = 32 g/mol, and O = 16 g/mol

So, to know how much moles will be, just divide the mass calculated above for the molar mass:

C: 132.12/12 = 11 moles

H: 25.20/ 1 = 25 moles

S: 32.08/32 = 1 mol

O: 64.00/16 = 4 moles

So the molecular formula is C11H25SO4

Which of these have the same number of particles as 1 mole of water H2O
Fed [463]

Answer:

It is equal to Avogadro's number (NA), namely 6.022 x1023. If we have one mole of water, then we know that it will have a mass of 2 grams (for 2 moles of H atoms) + 16 grams (for one mole O atom) = 18 grams.

Explanation:

The question is not very much clear.

If you are asking for molecules then 1 mole water= 6.023 * 10^23

If you are asking for atoms then 1 mole water= 6.023 * 10^23 * 3

If you are asking for particles then,

So, in your example you would have one mole of water molecules. If you dissociated those water molecules, than you would end up with 2 moles of hydrogen atoms, and one mole of oxygen atoms.

I hope that was helpful!

H=1 proton,1 electron

O=8 protons,8 neutrons and 8 electrons

total particles in one H2O molecule-28

total no. of particles in 1 mole of water- 6.023 * 10^23 * 28

Why does Napatha have a lower boiling point than disel?
Nostrana [21]
Boiling points are related to the type of intermolecular forces between the compounds. if napatha has a lower boiling point hen it must have weaker bonds in it. Stronger bonds equal higher boiling points

Which of the following is the most reasonable explanation for a drop in temperature of gas?
ozzi

Answer: The correct answer is option B.

Explanation:

Average kinetic energy of the gas molecule is given by relation:

E_K=\frac{3}{2}\frac{R}{N_A}\times T

N_A = Avogadro Number

T = Temperature of the gas in Kelvins.

R = Universal gas constant

E_K\propto T

With increase in temperature the kinetic energy of the gas molecule increases and vice-versa.

So, according to the question the explanation for a drop in temperature of the gas is decrease in average kinetic energy of the gas molecules.

Hence, the correct answer is option B.
