Answer:

Homologous series is defined as a systematic order of structurally similar organic compound containing same functional group in their family and two adjacent members differ in their molecular formula by -CH2 unit.

Characteristics:

1.Various members of homologous series contain same functional group.

2.Various members of homologous series can be represented by common formula.

3. All members of a homologous series have almost similar chemical properties.

4. All members have common method of preparation.

5.Two successive members of homologous series have different chain length or difference in their molecular formula by -CH2 unit.

6.The members of homologous series show different physical properties.

A compound is found to contain 50. 05% sulfur and 49. 95% oxygen by mass. What is the empirical formula for this compound? SO S2

jekas [21]

The empirical formula for the given compound has been $\rm SO_2$ . Thus, option C is correct.

The empirical formula has been the whole unit ratio of the elements in the formula unit.

<h3>Computation for the Empirical formula</h3>

The given mass of Sulfur has been, 50.05 g

The given mass of oxygen has been 49.95 g.

The moles of elements in the sample has been given by:

$\rm Moles=\dfrac{Mass}{Molar\;mass}$

Moles of Sulfur:

$\rm Moles\;S=\dfrac{50.05}{32}\\
 Moles\;S=1.56\;mol$

The moles of sulfur in the unit has been 1.56 mol.

Moles of Oxygen:

$\rm Moles\;O=\dfrac{49.95}{16} \\
Moles\;O=3.12\;mol$

The moles of oxygen in the unit has been 3.12 mol.

The empirical formula unit has been given as:

$\rm S_{1.56}O_{3.12}=SO_2$

Thus, the empirical formula for the given compound has been $\rm SO_2$ . Thus, option C is correct.

If you weighed out 0.38 g of calcium and reacted it with an excess of hcl, how many moles of h2(g) would you expect to produce?

Hitman42 [59]

Answer is: 0,0095 mol of hydrogen gas will be produced in reaction.
Chemical reaction: Ca + 2HCl → CaCl₂ + H₂.
m(Ca) = 0,38 g.
n(H₂) = ?
n(Ca) = m(Ca) ÷ M(Ca).
n(Ca) = 0,38 g ÷ 40 g/mol
n(Ca) = 0,0095 mol.
from reaction: n(Ca) : n(H₂) = 1 : 1.
n(H₂) = n(Ca) = 0,0095 mol.
n - amount of substance.
