What is the emperical formula of a compound containing 40.1% carbon and 6.6% hydrogen​

Chemistry
1 answer:
levacccp [35]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

CH₂

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Percentage composition:

          Carbon  = 40.1%

          Hydrogen  = 6.6%

Unknown:

Empirical formula of the compound  = ?

Solution:

The empirical formula of a substance is its simplest formula.

 Elements                             Carbon                             Hydrogen

Percentage

Composition                           40.1                                     6.6

Molecular mass                        12                                         1

Number of moles                  40.1/12                                  6.6/1

                                                3.342                                    6.6

Divide through by

the smallest                         3.342/3.342                           6.6/3.342

                                                      1                                        2

So the empirical formula of the compound is CH₂

Two unknown molecular compounds were being studied. A solution containing 5.00 g of compound A in 100. g of water froze at a low
LenaWriter [7]

Answer:

Compound B has greater molar mass.

Explanation:

The depression in freezing point is given by ;

\Delta T_f=i\times k_f\times m..[1]

m=\frac{\text{Mass of solute}}{\text{Molar mass of solute}\times \text{Mass of solvent in kg}}

Where:

i = van't Hoff factor

k_f = Molal depression constant

m = molality of the solution

According to question , solution with 5.00 g of A in 100.0 grams of water froze at at lower temperature than solution with 5.00 g of B in 100.0 grams of water.

The depression in freezing point of solution with A solute: \Delta T_{f,A}

Molar mass of A = M_A

The depression in freezing point of solution with B solute: \Delta T_{f,B}

Molar mass of B = M_B

\Delta T_{f,A}>\Delta T_{f,B}

As we can see in [1] , that depression in freezing point is inversely related to molar mass of the solute.

\Delta T_f\propto \frac{1}{\text{Molar mass of solute}}

M_A

This means compound B has greater molar mass than compound A,

What would happen if the sand dunes in an area were destroyed?
Komok [63]

Answer:

<u>Our beaches would be unprotected</u>

In the short-term, these artificial sand hills will be destroyed by the elements. Because sand dunes protect inland areas from swells, tides, and winds, they must be protected and defended like national treasures. ... The ocean and the wind can have an unpredictable, destructive force on coastal regions.

- surfertoday

Natural sand dunes play a vital role in protecting our beaches, coastline and coastal developments from coastal hazards such as erosion, coastal flooding and storm damage. Sand dunes protect our shorelines from coastal erosion and provide shelter from the wind and sea spray.

The movement of the liquid in a thermometer shows changes in temperature. An increase in temperature indicates the molecules in
olya-2409 [2.1K]

Answer:

2: Moved faster and spread farther apart.

Explanation:

Restate the question: The movement of the liquid in a thermometer shows changes in temperature. An increase in temperature indicates the molecules in the liquid.

1. moved slower and closer together.

2.moved faster and spread farther apart.

3. contracted in size when heated.

4. expanded in size when heated.

Water that is cold does not have the energy to bounce of the walls, instead it is like a group of animals they group together for the warmth of the others when it gets really cold.

So it cant be 1.

We all know that power lines sag lower on a hot day (or a tire for a car, it has increases pressure). but those are different types of molecules.

So that rules out 3 and 4.

Which leaves you with 2.

The increase in temperature causes the water molecule to gain energy and move quickly, which resulted in water molecule that are farther apart and an increase in water volume.

Hope it helps!
