Answer:

C₂H₂O₃

Explanation:

The empirical formula of a compound is derived bu finding the whole ratios of the constituent elements.

In succinic acid, the ratios of carbon to hydrogen to oxygen is calculated as follows:

<u>% mass</u>

Carbon- 40.60

Hydrogen - 5.18

Oxygen - 54.22

<u>RAM</u>

Carbon -12

Oxygen - 15.994

Hydrogen -1.008

<u>No of moles elements in the compound</u>

Carbon = 40.60/12=3.3833

Oxygen = 54.22/15.994= 3.39

Hydrogen= 5.18/1.008 = 5.1389

Mole ratios of the individual elements we divide by the smallest value of the number of moles.

Carbon: Hydrogen : Oxygen

3.3833/3.3833:3.39/3.3833:5.1389/3.3833

=1:1:1.5

We can multiply the value by 2 to get the whole number ratio.

=2:2:3

The empirical formula will be:

C₂H₂O₃

Why should you always condition a buret before running a titration?.
Alex Ar [27]

Answer:

Conditioning two or three times will insure that the concentration of titrant is not changed by a stray drop of water.

Explanation:

"Check the tip of the buret for an air bubble. To remove an air bubble, whack the side of the buret tip while solution is flowing".

Titanium and chlorine react to form titanium(IV) chloride, like this:
leva [86]

Answer:

the value of equilibrium constant for the reaction is 8.5 * 10⁷

Explanation:

Ti(s) + 2 Cl₂(g) ⇄ TiCl₄(l)

equilibrium constant Kc = \frac{1}{[Cl_2]^2}

Given that,

We are given:

Equilibrium amount of titanium = 2.93 g

Equilibrium amount of titanium tetrachloride = 2.02 g

Equilibrium amount of chlorine gas = 1.67 g

We calculate the No of mole = mass / molar mass

mass of chlorine gas = 1.67 g

Molar mass of chlorine gas = 71 g/mol

mole of chlorine = 1.67 / 71

= 7.0L

Concentration of chlorine is = no of mole / volume

= 0.024 / 7

= 3.43 * 10⁻³M

equilibrium constant Kc  = \frac{1}{[Cl_2]^2}

= \frac{1}{[3.43 * 10^-^3]^2}

= 8.5 * 10⁷

How do scientists believe that chloroplasts got into photosynthetic cells? ​
Lera25 [3.4K]

The development of chloroplast is thought to occur through endosymbiosis.

According to the endosymbiosis, some of the organelles found in modern eukaryotic cells, such as mitochondria and chloroplasts, were previously prokaryotic microorganisms. A non-photosynthetic creature acquired one photosynthetic cell, and the chloroplast was subsequently created.

An organelle known as a chloroplast is crucial to the process of photosynthesis in plants. It contains pigments like chlorophyll and other  pigments that are in charge of capturing sunlight. Since each chloroplast has two membranes, other organelles such as mitochondria are referred to as double-membrane organelles. It is believed that cyanobacterial endosymbiosis played a role in the genesis of the chloroplast. Prokaryotic organisms like cyanobacteria have the capacity to prepare their food through the process of photosynthesis.
