<span>C7H8 First, determine the number of relative moles of each element we have and the molar masses of the products. atomic mass of carbon = 12.0107 atomic mass of hydrogen = 1.00794 atomic mass of oxygen = 15.999 Molar mass of CO2 = 12.0107 + 2 * 15.999 = 44.0087 Molar mass of H2O = 2 * 1.00794 + 15.999 = 18.01488 We have 5.27 mg of CO2, so 5.27 / 44.0087 = 0.119749 milli moles of CO2 And we have 1.23 mg of H2O, so 1.23 / 18.01488 = 0.068277 milli moles of H2O Since there's 1 carbon atom per CO2 molecule, we have 0.119749 milli moles of carbon. Since there's 2 hydrogen atoms per H2O molecules, we have 2 * 0.068277 = 0.136554 milli moles of hydrogen atoms. Now we need to find a simple integer ratio that's close to 0.119749 / 0.136554 = 0.876937 Looking at all fractions n/m where n ranges from 1 to 10 and m ranges from 1 to 10, I find a closest match at 7/8 = 0.875 with an error of only 0.001937, the next closest match has an error over 6 times larger. So let's go with the 7/8 ratio. The numerator in the ratio was for carbon atoms, and the denominator was for hydrogen. So the empirical formula for toluene is C7H8.</span>

Zn + H2SO4 ZnSO4 + H2<br><br> The mole ratio of zinc to zinc sulfate is
ValentinkaMS [17]

Answer:

Ratio is 1:1

Explanation:

I do not see any coefficients infront of the reactants and the products, therefore, we can automatically assume that every reactant and product is 1 mole. Don't get confused by the 4 off the O. It just means that 1 mole of sulfate has 1 zinc and 4 oxygens.

What is the average atomic mass of all of the naturally occurring isotopes of nickel in amu?
My name is Ann [436]
In general chemistry, isotopes are substances that belong to one specific element. So, they all have the same atomic numbers. But they only differ in the mass numbers, or the number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus. In a nutshell, they only differ in the number of neutrons.

For Nickel, there are 5 naturally occurring isotopes. Their identities, masses and relative abundance are listed below

  Isotope                Abundance           Atomic Mass
   Ni-58                    68.0769%              <span>57.9353 amu
   Ni-60                    </span>26.2231%              <span>59.9308 amu
   Ni-61                    </span>1.1399 %               <span>60.9311 amu
   Ni-62                    </span>3.6345%                <span>61.9283 amu
   Ni-64                    </span>0.9256%                <span>63.9280 amu

To determine the average atomic mass of Nickel, the equation would be:
Average atomic mass = </span>∑Abundance×Atomic Mass

Using the equation, the answer would be:
Average atomic mass = 57.9353(68.0769%) + 59.9308(26.2231%) + 60.9311(1.1399%) + 61.9283(3.6345%) + 63.9280(0.9256%)

Average atomic mass = 58.6933 amu

Hey there!

Static electricity is a missing charge. When positive ions are formed (where an electron is missing), this imbalance is called static electricity.
