Answer:

CH₄

Explanation:

To determine the empirical formula of the hydrocarbon, we need to follow a series of steps.

Step 1: Determine the mass of the compound

The mass of the compound is equal to the sum of the masses of the elements that form it.

m(CxHy) = mC + mH = 7.48 g + 2.52 g = 10.00 g

Step 2: Calculate the percent by mass of each element

%C = mC / mCxHy × 100% = 7.48 g / 10.00 g × 100% = 74.8%

%H = mH / mCxHy × 100% = 2.52 g / 10.00 g × 100% = 25.2%

Step 3: Divide each percentage by the atomic mass of the element

C: 74.8/12.01 = 6.23

H: 25.2/1.01 = 24.95

Step 4: Divide both numbers by the smallest one, i.e. 6.23

C: 6.23/6.23 = 1

H: 24.95/6.23 ≈ 4

The empirical formula of the hydrocarbon is CH₄.

When benzene (c6h6) reacts with bromine (br2) bromobenzene(c6h5br) is obtained: c6h6 + br2 → c6h5br + hbr what is the theoretica
saveliy_v [14]

Answer A) : We have to calculate the number of moles of Benzene involved in the reaction,

30 g / 78 moles of benzene = 0.384 moles


For bromine it will be the same process,

65 g / 159.8 moles = 0.406 moles


By observing the reaction given above we can say that the reaction ratio of bromine and benzene is 1 : 1


We need to find the mass of bromobenzene,

which should be, 6(12) + 5 (1)+ 79.90 = 156.9 g/mol


So, the mass of bromobenzene will be 156.9 g/mol X 0.3846 mol = 60.343 g


Hence the theoretical yield will be 60.34 g


Answer B) : To calculate the actual yield we have to divide it with theoretical yield.


(56.7g / 60.343 g ) X100% = 93.96 %


Here, we can say that we got 93.96 % of actual yield.


As we know it is impossible to get 100% yield in any reaction.

You bought a new fish aquarium with the dimensions of 55 cm x 100 cm x 80 cm. what volume of water should you put in it? Show yo
harina [27]
Since its volume you do what it says 55 cm x 100 cm x 80cm and do 100 x 50 which is 5,000. then 5,000 x 80 which is 40,000. sorry i cant show work on here.

What changes if the degree (amount) of intermolecular bonds of a substance are changed?
elixir [45]
<h2>Answer:</h2>

The correct answers are;

volume of a substance

density of a substance

  • The volume and the density of the substance depend on inter molecular forces of the substance. So, when we will change the degree of inter molecular forces, whether decrease it or increase it, it will affect the volume and density of a substance.

Why don’t all of the particles in an atom contribute to the mass?
kotegsom [21]

Answer:

Explanation:

The mass of an atom is dependent on its number of protons and neutrons. Electrons have mass, but are too light in comparison to protons and neutrons to contribute towards the overall mass. Their relative mass is about 1/1840 compared to 1 for protons and neutrons, and therefore are not counted in the mass.

Hope this helped!
