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

myrzilka [38]

Answer:

B

Explanation:

As you move down the periodic table in the carbon family, the atomic radius and ionic radius increase while electronegativity and ionization energy decrease. Atom size increases moving down the group because an additional electron shell is added.

Oxygen and nitrogen are both gases at room temperature. Explain why oxygen has a greater force of attraction between its particl
RideAnS [48]

Answer:

Explanation:

Oxygen molecules and Nitrogen molecules forms in a very similar way. The attraction between particles of oxygen is great due to its very high electronegativity value. Oxygen has a higher electronegative value compared to nitrogen.

Electronegativity of an atom is the relative tendency with which atoms of an element attracts valence electrons in a chemical bond. Valence electrons are used in forming chemical bonds. They can be transferred from one atom to the other or they can be shared.

Oxygen is the second most electronegative atom on the periodic table. To form a bond, it shares the valence electrons in order for its octet to be complete. Pull for the valence electrons between the contributing atoms is very strong due to their large electronegative values. This pull is stronger compared to that between nitrogen atoms.

Why is water essential to living things? (1 pc
DIA [1.3K]

Answer:

Living organisms need water to survive. Many scientists even believe that if any extra-terrestrial exists, water must be present in their environments. All oxygen-dependent organisms need water to aid in the respiration process. Some organisms, such as fish, can only breathe in water. Other organisms require water to break down food molecules or generate energy during the respiration process. Water also helps many organisms regulate metabolism and dissolves compounds going into or out of the body.
