Answer: The empirical formula is CH_2.

Explanation:

Mass of C = 1.71 g

Mass of H = 0.287 g

Step 1 : convert given masses into moles.

Moles of C = \frac{\text{ given mass of C}}{\text{ molar mass of C}}= \frac{1.71g}{12g/mole}=0.142moles

Moles of H = \frac{\text{ given mass of H}}{\text{ molar mass of H}}= \frac{0.287g}{1g/mole}=0.287moles

Step 2 : For the mole ratio, divide each value of moles by the smallest number of moles calculated.

For C =\frac{0.142}{0.142}=1

For H =\frac{0.287}{0.142}=2

The ratio of C: H = 1: 2

Hence the empirical formula is CH_2.

What mass of K2SO4 would you measure out to prepare 550 ml of a 0.76 M solution
Nikolay [14]
The molecular weight of K2SO4 is 174.26 g/mole. The mass of K2SO4 required to make this solution is calculated in the following way. 
550mL * (0.76mole/1000mL) * (174.26g/mole) = 72.84gram

Answer:

The answer is "\bold{4.97 \times 10^{-2}}"

Explanation:

Please find the complete question in the attached file.

Equation:

2SO_2+O_2  \leftrightharpoons 2SO_3

at t=0 3.3   \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ 0.79

at equilibrium 3.3-p \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ 0.79 - \frac{P}{2} \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ P

p= 0.47 \ \ atm\\\\SO_2=3.3-0.47 = 2.83 \ \ atm\\\\O_2= 0.74 -\frac{0.47}{2}=0.74-0.235=0.555 \ atm\\\\K_P=\frac{[PSO_3]^2}{[PSO_2]^2[PO_2]}\\\\

     =\frac{0.47^2}{2.83^2\times 0.555}\\\\=4.97 \times 10^{-2}

Did you know conventional argult culture has increased greenhouse gas emissions, soil erosion, water pollution, and threatened humans health. Let’s stop this from harming our environment and take action about this today. Organic farming has a smaller carbon footprint, conserves and builds soil, replenishes natural ecosystems for cleaner water and air, all with a toxic pesticide residues.
