Answer:

c. C3H9N2O2

Explanation:

The empirical formula of a compound is defined as the simplest whole number ratio of atoms present in a molecule. To solve this question we need to convert the mass of each atom to moles. With the moles we can find the ratio as follows:

<em>Moles N -Molar mass: 14.01g/mol-</em>

0.420g N * (1mol/14.01g) = 0.0300 moles N

<em>Moles O -Molar mass: 16g/mol-</em>

0.480g O * (1mol/16g) = 0.0300 moles O

<em>Moles C -Molar mass: 12.01g/mol-</em>

0.540g C * (1mol/12.01g) = 0.0450 moles C

<em>Moles H -Molar mass: 1.0g/mol-</em>

0.135g H * (1mol/1g) = 0.135moles H

Dividing in the moles of N (Lower number of moles) the ratio of atoms is:

N = 0.0300 moles N / 0.0300 moles N = 1

O = 0.0300 moles O / 0.0300 moles N = 1

C = 0.0450 moles C / 0.0300 moles N = 1.5

H = 0.135 moles H / 0.0300 moles N = 4.5

As the empirical formula requires whole numbers, multiplying each ratio twice:

N = 2, O = 2, C = 3 and H = 9

And the empirical formula is:

<h3>c. C3H9N2O2</h3>

Is it possible to tell if an acid or base is strong or weak just by looking at its chemical formula?
Gre4nikov [31]
It is.

An acid will be strong when its conjugated base is highly stable, and vice-versa.

That can occur for instance through electronic delocalization.

Devices that mix air or oxygen with flammable gasses cannot be used unless approved by
Feliz [49]

Flammable gases are gases that have the tendency to <u>explode (burst into flames)</u> when they come in contact with the <u>appropriate quantities of air, oxygen, or any suitable oxidant.</u>

<u />

<u />

Devices that mix air or oxygen with flammable gasses cannot be used unless approved by an <u>authorized or approved personnel.</u>

<u></u>

<u></u>

  • Examples of flammable gases are hydrocarbons such as <u>Propane, Acetylene</u>, e.t.c.

  • Flammable gases are dangerous to humans and the environment and if they are not handled properly, can cause severe damages and even death.

  • During the preparation and usage of flammable gases, safety precautions should be properly enforced such as the <u>wearing of appropriate safety gear and goggles</u>.

  • Devices that mix air or oxygen with flammable gases cannot be used unless approved by an <u>authorized or approved personnel.</u>

Which two solutions would be the BEST choice for their experiment?
Margaret [11]

Solutions 1 and 3 because they are strong acids and a strong base. <u>Option A.</u>

<u />

Strong acids and strong bases are completely ionized in an aqueous solution. Weak acids and weak bases also ionize, but only partially and the reaction is reversible. So you know if an acid or base is strong or weak. A simple way to determine strength is to add the acid or base to water. A higher reactivity means a stronger acid or base.

One of the simplest tests to determine whether a solution is an acid or base is the litmus paper test. To do this, dip a special strip of paper so-called litmus paper into the solution and observe the color of the paper. Litmus paper turns red in acidic solutions and blue in basic solutions. Sodium hydroxide is the strongest base because it completely dissociates to form sodium and hydroxide ions. These hydroxide ions are further treated with hydrogen ions by an acid to completely ionize the hydrogen ions.
