The empirical formula : C₆H₂Cl₂O

The molecular formula : C₁₂H₄Cl₄O₂

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

The percentage composition

Required

The empirical formula and the molecular formula

Solution

The mol ratio of the components :

C : H : Cl : O

=44.76/12 : 1.25/1 : 44.05/35.5 : 9.94/16

=3.73 : 1.25 : 1.241 : 0.621 divide by 1.241

= 3 : 1 : : 1 : 0.5 x 2

= 6 : 2 : 2 : 1

The empirical formula : C₆H₂Cl₂O

(Empirical formula)n=molecular formula

(C₆H₂Cl₂O)n=321.97

(160.986)n=321.97

n=2

(C₆H₂Cl₂O)₂=C₁₂H₄Cl₄O₂

The molecular formula : C₁₂H₄Cl₄O₂

An imaginary planet was just discovered that has a similar environment to our planet Earth. All the chemistry is similar except

Lena [83]

Answer: $\Delta H_{rxn}=-4652$ kJ/mol

Explanation: In a reaction, a bond of a molecule can break or rearrange itself. When it happens, it absorb or release energy.

Bond Energy is the energy necessary to break or to make a particular bond, producing gaseous fragments at atmospheric temperature. This type of energy can be used to show how stable a compound is or how easy a bond can break.

Enthalpy of Reaction is the energy absorption or release at a constant temperature resulting from a chemical reaction.

To calculate the Enthalpy using bond energy, you have:

1) Write the balanced equation with all the all the reactants and products in gaseous form:

$C_{5}H_{12}_{(g)}+8O_{2}_{(g)}$ ⇒ $5CO_{2}_{(g)}+6H_{2}O_{(g)}$

2) Count each bond of each molecule from both sides, including double or triple bonding, if they exists:

Reactants:

$C_{5}H_{12}$ : 12 C-H

4 C-C

O₂ : 1 O=O

Products:

CO₂ : 2 C=O

H₂O : 2 H-O

3) From the balanced reaction, we there are 8 moles of oxygen gas, 5 moles of carbon dioxide and 6 moles of water, which has to be included when adding each side.

$\Sigma H_{reactants}=$ 12.257 + 4.370 + 8.490 = 8484

$\Sigma H_{products}=$ 5.2.740 + 6.2.478 = 13136

4) Calculate Enthalpy of Reaction by:

$\Delta H_{rxn}= \Sigma H_{reactants}-\Sigma H_{products}$

$\Delta H_{rxn}=8484-13136$

$\Delta H_{rxn}=-4652$

The enthalpy of reaction for the combustion of 1 mole of pentane on a just discovered imaginary planet is an exothermic process of magnitude $\Delta H_{rxn}=$ - 4652kJ/mol

What is the use of density in the calculation of percentage by mass?

sattari [20]

Answer:

First, the direct method requires recording the total mass of solution, and then evaporating off the solvent. The solid left behind is the solute, which is then weighed and used to calculate mass percent. Density can also be used to determine the mass percent of an unknown concentration.

in my opinion:)

irakobra [83]

The question is incomplete, the complete question is;

Which of the following is most likely a heavier stable nucleus? (select all that apply) Select all that apply: A nucleus with a neutron:proton ratio of 1.05 A nucleus with a A nucleus with a neutron:proton ratio of 1.49 The nucleus of Sb-123 A nucleus with a mass of 187 and an atomic number of 75

Answer:

A nucleus with a A nucleus with a neutron:proton ratio of 1.49

A nucleus with a mass of 187 and an atomic number of 75

Explanation:

The stability of a nucleus depends on the number of neutrons and protons present in the nucleus. For many low atomic number elements, the number of protons and number of neutrons are equal. This implies that the neutron/proton ratio = 1

Elements with higher atomic number tend to be more stable if they have a slight excess of neutrons as this reduces the repulsion between protons.

Generally, the belt of stability for chemical elements lie between and N/P ratio of 1 to an N/P ratio of 1.5.

Two options selected have an N/P ratio of 1.49 hence they are heavy stable elements.

How does the polarity of water make water more cohesive than other liquids?

MatroZZZ [7]

Cohesion holds hydrogen bonds together to create surface tension on water. Since water is attracted to other molecules, adhesive forces pull the water toward other molecules.
