Can a molecular formula ever be the same as an empirical formula? Give an example.

Chemistry

kirza4 [7]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

Different compounds can have the same empirical formula. For example, ethylene C 2 H 4 and propylene C 3 H 6 have the same empirical formula, CH 2. In the same manner, compounds can have the same molecular formula. For example, ethanol and dimethyl ether have the same molecular formula, C 2 H 6.

Which substance absorbs 58.16 kJ of energy when 3.11 mol vaporizes? a)CH4 b)H2S c)CO2 d)NaCl
schepotkina [342]

Answer:

H_2S

Explanation:

Given the amount of heat absorbed and the amount of substance in moles, we may calculate the heat of vaporization. Heat of vaporization is defined as the amount of heat per 1 mole of substance required to evaporate that specific substance.

Based on the value of heat of vaporization, we will identify the substance. Firstly, let's calculate the heat of vaporization:

\Delta H^o = \frac{58.16 kJ}{3.11 mol} = 18.7 kJ/mol

Secondly, let's use any table for heat of vaporization values for substances. We identify that the heat of vaporization of H_2S is 18.7 kJ/mol

Which formula represents a polar molecule?<br> (1) O2 <br> (2) CO2 <br> (3) NH3<br> (4) CH4
lara [203]

Answer: Option (3) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

A molecule is polar when the net dipole moment of molecule is zero. When an electronegative atom is attached to an electropositive atom then the electronegative atom pulls the shared pair of electrons more towards itself.

As a result, the movement of electrons is more towards the electronegative atom and the dipole moment becomes zero. This will also induce partial positive and partial negative charge on electropositive and electronegative atom.

On the other hand, O_{2}, CO_{2}, and CH_{4} are covalent compounds and does not have a net zero dipole moment.

Thus, we can conclude that out of the given options NH_{3}  represents a polar molecule.

An electrochemical cell contains a standard hydrogen electrode and a cathode consisting of a metallic chromium electrode, Cr(s),
stira [4]

Answer:

c. I, II and III

Explanation:

The cell is as follows

Cr / Cr⁺²(1M) // H⁺ ( 1 M ) / H₂

Standard reduction potential of hydrogen cell is zero . Standard reduction potential is negative E for Cr⁺² / Cr(1M) half cell

Cell potential = Ecathode - Eanode

= 0 - ( - E)

= E

E is cell potential and also standard cell potential or emf of the cell .

Standard reduction potential that is for Cr3+/Cr.  is  - E .

Hence statement I , II , III are right . IV th statement is wrong because of sign

Option c is correct.
