Its empirical formula : C₅H₁₂O₆

<h3>Further explanation  </h3>

The empirical formula is the smallest comparison of atoms of compound forming elements.  

<em>(empirical formula) n = molecular formula  </em>

The principle of determining empirical formula and molecular formula  

  • Determine the mass ratio of the constituent elements of the compound.  
  • Determine the mole ratio by dividing the elemental mass with the relative atomic mass obtained by the empirical formula  

Ar C = 12 g/mol

Ar H = 1 g/mol

Ar O = 16 g/mol

mol ratio of C : H : O =

\tt \dfrac{36.36}{12}\div \dfrac{7.13}{1}\div \dfrac{56.51}{16}\\\\3.03\div 7.13\div 3.53\rightarrow divided~by~smallest(3.03)\\\\1\div 2.4\div 1.2(\times 10)\rightarrow 5\div 12\div 6

Out of milk and water which would be the base and the acid??
Triss [41]
<span>It's easy to get confused about whether milk is an acid or a base, especially when you consider that some people drink milk or take calcium to treat an acidic stomach. Actually, milk has a pH of around 6.5 to 6.7, which makes it slightly acidic. Some sources cite milk as being neutral since it is so close to the neutral pH of 7.0. Milk contains lactic acid, which is a hydrogen donor or proton donor.</span>

A solution is 40.0% by volume benzene (C6H6) in carbon tetrachloride at 20C. The vapor pressure of pure benzene at this temperat
Alexandra [31]

Answer:

84.30 mm Hg

Explanation:

In 100 cm³ of solution we have: 40 cm³ C6H6 and 60 cm³ CCl4. Given the densities we can calculate their masses and number of moles, and since by Raoult´s law

Ptotal = XAPºA + XBPºB

where XA= mol fraction =na/(na +nb) and PºA vapor pressure pure of pure component A

m C6H6 = 40 cm³ x 0.87865 g/cm³ = 35.146 g

mol C6H6 = 35.146 g/ 78.11 g/mol = 0.45 mol

mass CCl4 = 60 cm³ x 1.5940 g/cm³ = 95.640 g

mol CCl4 = 95.640 g / 153.82 g/mol = 0.62 mol

mol tot = 1.07

XC6H6 = 0.45/ 1.07 = 0.42      XCCl4 = 0.62/1.07 =0.58

Ptot (mmHg) = 0.42 x 74.61 + .58 x 91.32 = 84.30 mmHg
