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

In TEN complete sentences, describe how the LAW OF CONSERVATION applies to the stuff YOU OWN. For example: In real life, can new
satela [25.4K]

Answer:

Both the initial and final substances are composed of atoms because all matter is composed of atoms. According to the law of conservation of matter, matter is neither created nor destroyed, so we must have the same number and type of atoms after the chemical change as were present before the chemical change.

Explanation:

The atoms that make up your body were produced inside a star and have ... I read once that atoms get recycled so much through the planet that each of ... from William Shakespeare, but I do know this: All of us come from stars. ... If you have gold fillings in your teeth, those atoms came from a star explosion.

How many hydrogen atoms are present in .46 moles of NH3
mixas84 [53]

Answer:

2.78 x 10²³

Explanation:

1 mole contains 6.02 x 10²³ hydrogen atoms => 0.46 mole contains 0.46(6.02 x 10²³) hydrogen atoms or 2.78 x 10²³ atoms.

Caution => When to use H vs H₂ => This problem is specific for 'hydrogen atoms' but some may simply say hydrogen. In such cases use H₂ or 'molecular hydrogen' is the focus. it's a matter of semantics, H vs H₂.
