Answer : The empirical formula is, C_2H_5

Solution : Given,

Mass of C = 20.75 g

Mass of H = 4.25 g

Molar mass of C = 12 g/mole

Molar mass of H = 1 g/mole

Step 1 : convert given masses into moles.

Moles of C = \frac{\text{ given mass of C}}{\text{ molar mass of C}}= \frac{20.75g}{12g/mole}=1.73moles

Moles of H = \frac{\text{ given mass of H}}{\text{ molar mass of H}}= \frac{4.25g}{1g/mole}=4.25moles

Step 2 : For the mole ratio, divide each value of moles by the smallest number of moles calculated.

For C = \frac{1.73}{1.73}=1

For H = \frac{4.25}{1.73}=2.5

The ratio of C : H = 1 : 2.5

In the whole number the ratio of C : H = 2 : 5

The mole ratio of the element is represented by subscripts in empirical formula.

Therefore, the empirical formula is, C_2H_5

Calculate the pHpH of a 0.10 MM solution of HClHCl . Express your answer numerically using two decimal places.
alisha [4.7K]

Answer: The pH 0f 0.10 solution of HCl is 1.00

Explanation:

pH or pOH is the measure of acidity or alkalinity of a solution.

pH is calculated by taking negative logarithm of hydrogen ion concentration.

pH=-\log [H^+]

HCl\rightarrow H^++Cl^{-}

According to stoichiometry,  

1 mole of HCl gives 1 mole of H^+  

Thus 0.10 moles of HCl gives =\frac{1}{1}\times 0.10=0.10 moles of H^+  

Putting in the values:

pH=-\log[0.10]

pH=1.00

Thus pH 0f 0.10 solution of HCl is 1.00

A mechanic needs a radiator to have 50% antifreeze solution. the radiator currently is filled with 4 gallons of 15% antifreeze s
Zanzabum

<span>let x=gallons of current mixture to be drained and replaced with pure antifreeze.
4-x=gallons of current mixture remaining in the car.</span>

<span>
0.15(4-x)+1.00x=0.50 x 4
0.6-.15x+x=2
0.85x=1.4
x=1.4/0.85 =1.65 gal

Thus, 1.65 gallons of current mixture to be drained and replaced with pure antifreeze.</span>
