0. When measuring tert-butyl alcohol for this experiment, a student first weighs an empty graduated cylinder, then pours 15 mL o

f the alcohol into the graduated cylinder and weighs the cylinder again. He records the amount of alcohol used as the difference in these two masses. What is wrong with this method

Answer:

Both have solutions in the  graduated cylinder.

Explanation:

Recording the amount of alcohol used as the difference between two masses is the wrong method used for measuring tert-butyl alcohol for the experiment.  For measuring tert-butyl alcohol for this experiment, the student has to measure the two masses when both the graduated cylinders has solution of tert-butyl alcohol not when one of it is empty (having no tert-butyl alcohol ).

Traumatic acid contains 63.13% carbon, 8.830% hydrogen, and 28.03% oxygen. its molar mass is 228 g/mol. determine the empirical
Zina [86]
Q1)
firstly we need to determine the empirical formula of the compound. empirical formula is the simplest ratio of components in the compound.
percentages of the elements have been given, so lets assume we are calculating for a compound of 100g 
                                  C                               H                              O
mass                       63.13 g                    8.830 g                       28.03 g
molar mass             12 g/mol                   1 g/mol                      16 g/mol
number of moles     63.13/12                   8.830/1                      28.03/16
                                5.26                           8.830                           1.75
divide by the smallest number of moles 
                                5.26/1.75                   8.830/1.75                   1.75/1.75
                                = 3.01                        = 5.04                           =1
rounded off to the nearest whole numbers 
C - 3
H - 5
O - 1
therefore empirical formula = C₃H₅O

Q2)
we have to next determine the molecular formula of the compound 
molecular formula gives the actual composition of elements in the compound. 
since we know the empirical formula and molecular mass, we can find how many empirical units are in the molecular formula.
mass of empirical unit = Cx3 + Hx5 + Ox1
                                    = 12 g/mol x 3 + 1g/mol x 5 + 16 g/mol x 1
                                    = 36 + 5 + 16 = 57 g/mol
the molecular mass = 228 g/mol
then number of empirical units in the molecular formula = 228 / 57 = 4
therefore there are 4 empirical units 
then the molecular formula = 4 x empirical formula =4 (C₃H₅O)
molecular formula = C₁₂H₂₀O₄

What is the blocks average speed nearest hundredth of a m/s
bezimeni [28]

The question is incomplete, the complete question is;

A block is pulled 0.90 m to the right in 2.5 s. What is the blocks average speed to the nearest hundredth of a m/s

Answer:

0.36 m/s to the hundredth place

Explanation:

Now let us remember the definition of speed. Speed is defined in physics as distance/time.

Here we have the distance as 0.9 m

We have the time as 2.5 s

Hence the average speed is obtained from;

Speed = 0.9/2.5 = 0.36 m/s to the hundredth place

You are asked to determine the identity of an unknown liquid and can measure only one physical property. You see the liquid and
Julli [10]
The physical property you measured is the boiling point of the liquid.

Therfore, if the liquid has a boiling point of 100°C, it turns from liquid state to vapor when you heat it up to 100°C.

To conclude, The liquid should be pure water. Because only pure water has a boiling point of 100°C, using this physical property, we can test whatever liquid ans see if it's pure water or not, this test is called the boiling point test.

A student has a sample of isopropanol (C3H7OH) that has a mass of 78. 6 g. The molar mass of isopropanol is 60. 1 g/mol. How man
soldi70 [24.7K]

Mole is the ratio of the mass to the molar mass of the substance and its unit is mol. The moles of isopropanol in the sample are 1. 31 moles.

<h3>What are moles?</h3>

Moles are the unit of measurement of the smallest entity of atoms, molecules, and compounds.

Given,

Mass of isopropanol (m) = 78. 6 g

Molar mass of isopropanol = 60. 1 g/mol

Moles of isopropanol is calculated as:

\begin{aligned} \rm moles (n) &= \rm \dfrac{mass}{molar \; mass}\\\\&= \dfrac{78.6}{60.1}\\\\&= 1.31\;\rm  moles\end{aligned}

Therefore, moles of isopropanol are option b. 1.31 moles.
