Answer:
D-Molten rock cools and turns solid
Answer:
C₇H₁₄O₂
Explanation:
From the question given above, the following data were obtained:
Mass of compound = 1.152 g
Mass of CO₂ = 2.726 g
Mass of H₂O = 1.116 g
Empirical formula =?
Next, we shall determine the mass of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen present in the compound. This can be obtained as follow:
For carbon (C):
Mass of CO₂ = 2.726 g
Molar mass of CO₂ = 12 + (2×16)
= 12 + 32
= 44 g/mol
Mass of C = 12/44 × 2.726
Mass of C = 0.743 g
For hydrogen (H):
Mass of H₂O = 1.116 g
Molar mass of H₂O = (2×1) + 16
= 2 + 16
= 18 g/mol
Mass of H = 2/18 × 1.116
Mass of H = 0.124 g
For oxygen (O):
Mass of compound = 1.152 g
Mass of C = 0.743 g
Mass of H = 0.124 g
Mass of O =?
Mass of O = (Mass of compound) – (Mass of C) + (Mass of H)
Mass of O = 1.152 – (0.743 + 0.124)
Mass of O = 1.152 – 0.867
Mass of O = 0.285 g
Finally, we shall determine the empirical formula for the compound as follow:
C = 0.743 g
H = 0.124 g
O = 0.285 g
Divide by their molar mass
C = 0.743 / 12 = 0.062
H = 0.124 / 1 = 0.124
O = 0.285 / 16 = 0.018
Divide by the smallest
C = 0.062 / 0.018 = 3.44
H = 0.124 / 0.018 = 7
O = 0.018 / 0.018 = 1
Multiply by 2 to express in whole number.
C = 3.44 × 2 = 7
H = 7 × 2 = 14
O = 1 × 2 = 2
Empirical formula => C₇H₁₄O₂
The correct option is C.
An atom can be either in the ground state or in an excited state. An atom is said to be in the ground state, if the total energy of its electron can not be lowered by moving one or more electrons into different orbitals. At the ground state, the electrons in the atom have the lowest energy possible and they are stable. On the other hand, an atom is said to be in an excited state, if the energy of its electrons can be lowered by transferring one or more electrons into different orbitals. An atom in an excited state has more energy and is less stable.
Sorry we need more info, what element?
