Which formula is an empirical formula? (1) CH4 (2) C2 H6 (3) C3 H6 (4) C4 H10

1 answer:

3 0

CH4 is an emprirical formula as it shows the simplest ratio of the numbers of different atoms present in the molecule. The empirical formula for CH4 is also the same as the molecular formula.
The other compunds can be simplified so they are not the empirical formula of compounds.
Hope this helps :).

Water is produced from the reaction of hydrogen and oxygen gas, according to the equation below. What is the excess reactant in

liq [111]

Explanation:

Mole ratio of Oxygen to Hydrogen gas = 1 : 2.

If we use 3.0 moles of oxygen gas, we would need 3.0 * 2 = 6.0 mol of hydrogen gas.

However we only have 4.2 mol of hydrogen. Therefore hydrogen is limiting and oxygen is in excess. (B)

The Ksp of cobalt(II) hydroxide, Co(OH)2, is 5.92 × 10-15. Calculate the molar solubility of this compound.

Dima020 [189]

The Ksp of cobalt(II) hydroxide is equal to [OH-]2[Co2+]=5.92*10-15. And [OH-]=2[Co2+]=2*[Co(OH)2](dissolved). So the molar solubility of this compound is 1.14*10-5 M.
