Answer:

A) C₇H₆O₂

B) C₁₄H₁₂O₄

Explanation:

To determine the empirical and molecular formula of the compound, we need to follow a series of steps.

Step 1: Divide each percentage by the atomic mass of the element

C: 43.74/12.01 = 3.64

H: 3.14/1.01 = 3.11

O: 16.61/16.00 = 1.04

Step 2: Divide all the numbers by the smallest one, i.e. 1.04

C: 3.64/1.04 = 3.5

H: 3.11/1.04 = 3

O: 1.04/1.04 = 1

Step 3: Multiply all the numbers by 2, so that all of them are integers

C: 3.5 × 2 = 7

H: 3 × 2 = 6

O: 1 × 2 = 2

The empirical formula of the compound is C₇H₆O₂.

Step 4: Determine the molar mass of the empirical formula

M(C₇H₆O₂) = 7 × M(C) + 6 × M(H) + 2 × M(O)

M(C₇H₆O₂) = 7 × 12.01 g/mol + 6 × 1.01 g/mol + 2 × 16.00 g/mol = 122.13

Step 5: Calculate "n"

We will use the following expression

n = M(compound) / M(empirical formula)

n = (244.26 g/mol) / (122.13 g/mol) = 2

Step 6: Determine the molecular formula of the compound

We determine the molecular formula by multiplying the empirical formula by "n".

C₇H₆O₂ × 2 = C₁₄H₁₂O₄

An atom that has 13 protons and 15 neutrons is isotope of the element A.) nickel B.) silicon C.) aluminum D.) phosphorus. Why?
joja [24]

An atom that has 13  protons and 15  neutrons  is isotope  of Aluminium (answer C)

<u><em>Explanation</em></u>

  • Isotope  is a form of the same element with   the equal number of protons but difference number  of neutrons  in  their nuclei.
  • In other words isotope has the same  atomic number but different mass  number.
  • Atomic  number of a element is determined by number of  protons of an element.

  • from the  periodic table   Aluminum in atomic number 13 therefore  it has 13 protons  <em>therefore an atom that  has 13  protons and 15 neutrons is   a isotope  of Aluminium. </em>

what is the mole fraction of neon in a mixture that contains 0.628 g of helium, 11.491 g of neon, and 7.613 g of argon?​
VMariaS [17]

Answer:

0.2

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of helium = 0.628g

Mass of neon = 11.491g

Mass of argon = 7.613g

Unknown:

Mole fraction of neon = ?

Solution:

The mole fraction of an element is the number of moles of that element to the total number of moles in the gas mixture.

We need to calculate the number of moles of each element first;

 Number of moles  = \frac{mass}{molar mass}

Molar mass of Helium = 4g/mol

Molar mass of Neon = 20g/mol

Molar mass of Argon = 40g/mol

Number of moles of He = \frac{0.628}{4} = 0.16moles

Number of moles of Ne = \frac{11.491}{20} = 0.58moles

Number of moles of Ar = \frac{7.613}{40} = 0.19moles

Total number of moles = 0.16moles + 0.58moles + 0.19moles = 0.93moles

Mole fraction Neon = \frac{0.19}{0.93}  = 0.2

How do Newton's laws of motion explain why it is important to keep the ice smooth on a hockey rink so that players
andriy [413]

Answer:

How do Newton's laws of motion explain why it is important to keep the ice smooth on a hockey rink so that players can pass a puck as quickly as possible? Smooth ice reduces the unbalanced forces that would slow the hockey puck. A skydiver falls toward the ground at a constant velocity.

When naming a compound made from a metal and a non-metal, what is done to the name of the second element?
RoseWind [281]
Metals combine with nonmetals to give ionic compounds. When naming binary ionic compounds, name the cation first (specifying the charge, if necessary), then the nonmetal anion (element stem + -ide). Hope this helps!
