Answer:

Empirical formula is C₄H₁₀O

Explanation:

Values for C, H and O are determined as centesimal composition.

64.80 g of C in 100g of compound

13.62g of H in 100 g of compound

21.58 g of O in 100 g of compound.

We convert the mass to moles:

64.80 g . 1mol/ 12g = 5.4 moles of C

13.62 g . 1 mol /1g = 13.62 moles of H

21.58 g . 1 mol/16g = 1.35 moles of O

We pick the lowest value and we divide:

5.4 moles of C / 1.35 = 4 C

13.62 moles of H / 1.35 = 10 H

1.35 moles of O / 1.35 = 1 O

Empirical formula is C₄H₁₀O, it can be the diethyl ether.

We confirm, the excersise is well done.

Molar mass = 74g/mol

74 g of compound we have (12 . 4)g of C

In 100 g of compound we may have (100 . 48) / 74 = 64.8 g

Cruising at 35,000 feet in an airliner, straight toward the east, 
at 500 miles per hour.  

Since your speed is not changing and you're moving in a straight line,
your acceleration is zero.

Urea, (NH2)2CO, is a product of metabolism of proteins. An aqueous solution is 37.2% urea by mass and has a density of 1.032 g/m
Feliz [49]

Answer:

The molarity of urea in this solution is 6.39 M.

Explanation:

Molarity (M) is <em>the number of moles of solute in 1 L of solution</em>;  that is

molarity = moles of solute ÷ liters of solution

To calculate the molality, we need to know the number of moles of urea and the volume of solution in liters. We assume 100 grams of solution.

Our first step is to calculate the moles of urea in 100 grams of the solution,

using the molar mass a conversion factor. The total moles of 100g of a 37.2 percent by mass solution is

60.06 g/mol ÷ 37.2 g = 0.619 mol

Now we need to calculate the volume of 100 grams of solution, and we use density as a conversion factor.

1.032 g/mL ÷ 100 g = 96.9 mL

This solution contains 0.619 moles of urea in 96.9 mL of solution. To express it in molarity, we need to calculate the moles present in 1000 mL (1 L) of the solution.

0.619 mol/96.9 mL × 1000 mL= 6.39 M

Therefore, the molarity of the solution is 6.39 M.
