Isopentyl acetate is the molecule largely responsible for the aroma and taste of bananas. It is made up of carbon, hydrogen, and

oxygen. Combustion of a 3.256-g sample of isopentyl acetate produces 7.706 g CO2 and 3.156 g H2O. Using these results, what is the correct empirical formula for isopentyl acetate?

Answer:

Explanation:

7.706 g of CO₂ will contain 12 x 7.706 / 44 g of C

= 2.1 g of C .

This will be contained in 3.256 g of isopentyl acetate

3.156 g of H₂O will contain 2 x 3.156 / 18 g of H

= .351 g of H

This will be contained in 3.256 g of isopentyl acetate

Rest will be oxygen

amount of oxygen in 3.256 g of isopentyl acetate

= 3.256 - ( 2.1 + .351 )

= .805 g

ratio of C , H , O in isopentyl acetate

= 2.1 g : .351 g : .805 g

2.1 / 12 : .351 / 1 : 0.805 / 16 ratio of moles

= .175 : .351 : .05  ratio of moles

= 3.5 : 7.02: 1

= 7 : 14 : 2

empirical formula of  isopentyl acetate

= C₇ H₁₄ O₂ .

What will happen to the efficiency of a bike after the gears have been cleaned and the chain has been oiled ?
seropon [69]

Well, figures for efficiency vary a lot, but according to Bicycling Science it’s lubrication that matters most – lubing a dry chain can add 5% to the efficiency.

More interestingly (and I hadn’t read this bit in the book before) it varys a lot depending on gear ratio – bottom gear (22-28) is 99% efficient, top gear (42-11) is 88%. That’s a big difference

The gases listed are at standard temperature and pressure: · 1 mol of CO2 gas · 1 mol of N2 gas · 2 mol of O2 gas Which statemen
Elena L [17]

Answer : The volume of 1 mole of CO_{2} and N_{2} gases are the same.

Solution: Given,

Moles of CO_{2} = 1 mole

Moles of N_{2} = 1 mole

Moles of O_{2} = 2 mole

Formula used for ideal gas is :

P V = n R T

According to the question, the gases are at standard temperature and pressure. So, the volume of gases only depends on the number of moles. This means that the higher the number of moles, higher will be the volume of gas.

The moles of O_{2} are more than the moles of CO_{2} and N_{2}. So, the volume of O_{2} will be more.

And the moles of CO_{2} and N_{2} are equal. Therefore, their volumes are also equal.

Therefore, the best option is the volume of 1 mole of CO_{2} and N_{2} gases are the same.

What usually happens to the electron configuration of an atom when it forms a covalent bond?
11Alexandr11 [23.1K]
A covalent bond is when atoms share electrons, therefore, giving it a neutral charge. They share electrons, so the electrons are shared between the atoms to make them stable.
