Knowing the ratio between atoms we can write an empirical formula:
<span>C4H6O </span>
<span>we compute the molar mass of this single formula: </span>
<span>4x12 + 6 x 1 + 16 x1 = 70 g / mol </span>
<span>Now, as we know the actual molar mas being 280 g/mol, we divide this number by 70 and we get the ratio between empirical formula and molecular actual formula: </span>
<span>280 / 70 = 4 </span>
<span>This means that actual molecular formula is: </span>
<span>(C4H6O)4 or </span>
<span>C16H24O4 </span>
Almost all catalysts work by lowering the activation energy of the reaction with no change in the free energy of the reaction
- So in this case we can say that palladium reduce automobile pollution by catalyzing the reaction between un-burned hydrocarbons and oxygen :
D. by decreasing the activation energy
The mass of one mole of water it is 18 amu, but you need to find the mass of a molecule of water, therefore you calculate the mass of one mole of water, which is 18 amu and you divided by Avogadro's number which is 6,022 x 10^23. The result is 2,989 x 10^-23. Hope I helped you. If you have any questions ask :) Good luck.
This is called the pedigree chart.
