Answer:

C4H6O4

Explanation:

First, the empirical formula needs to be calculated as follows

- Divide each element mass by its molar mass to convert to moles

C = 40.68/12 = 3.39moles

H = 5.08/1 = 5.08moles

O = 54.24/16 = 3.39moles

Next, we divide each mole value by the smallest (3.39moles)

C = 3.39/3.39 = 1

H = 5.08/3.39 = 1.5

O = 3.39/3.39 = 1

To get the empirical formula of this molecule, we multiply all by 2 to have:

C = 2

H = 3

O = 2

The empirical formula of C,H,O = 2:3:2

That is, C2H3O2

Next, we find the molecular formula as follows:

(C2H3O2)n = 118.1

{12(2) + 1(3) + 16(2)}n = 118.1

24 + 3 + 32 = 118.1

59n = 118.1

n = 118.1/59

n = 2.001

Therefore, the molecular formula is:

(C2H3O2)2

= C4H6O4

Caleb has a 860-kilogram car sitting in his back yard, gathering rust.
emmasim [6.3K]
<h3>Answer:</h3>

A. 860 kg

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

To answer the question we need to understand that;

  • Mass refers to the amount of matter in an object.
  • Weight, on the other hand, refers to the gravitational pull of an object to a given surface.
  • Mass is measured using a spring balance.

We also need to know that;

  • The mass of an object remains constant every where irrespective of the gravitational acceleration.
  • Therefore, an object on the surface of the earth would have the same mass as on the surface of the moon.
  • In this case; the mass of the car remains the same on the outer space as on the back yard.

All synthetic elements...
ki77a [65]
In chemistry, a synthetic element is a chemical element that does not occur naturally on Earth, and can only be created artificially. So far, 24 synthetic elements have been created (those with atomic numbers 95–118). All are unstable, decaying with half-lives ranging from 15.6 million years to a few hundred microseconds.

Students were investigating properties of matter, but wanted to make sure that when they tested these properties they had proper
Mariana [72]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

An intrinsic property is a property that is internal, that is, it characterizes the substance under study. The possession of an intrinsic property depends on the nature of the substance. An intrinsic property does not depend on amount of substance but on the nature of the substance.

Examples of intrinsic properties include; Density. Solubility, Melting Point, Freezing Point, Boiling Point, Conductivity etc.

Intrinsic properties really represent the matter that is being studied. For instance, the boiling point of water will always be 100°c. No other liquid can boil exactly at that temperature. Hence, this intrinsic property can always be used to identify an unknown liquid as water.

The students were right, studying intrinsic properties accurately represent the matter that is being studied.

Which of the follow describes what happpens to the kinetic energy of water when it changes from the solid state to a liquid stat
Anestetic [448]

Answer:

Kinetic energy increases.

Explanation:

In a solid, molecules do not have much room to move. They are very slow moving, which means that kinetic energy is low. In a liquid, molecules have more room to move. They are able to move faster than a solid, which means that kinetic energy is low.

From greatest to lowest kinetic energy:

gas, liquid, solid

if i add water to 100ml of a 0.15 m naoh solution until the final volume is 150 ml,what will the molarity of the diluted solutio
Katena32 [7]

Answer:

0.1 mol×L

Explanation:

Concentration= MOLES of SOLUTE / Volume of SOLUTION

So all we need to is to calculate the one quantity; Volume of SOLUTION has been specified to be 150 ml

So, MOLES of SOLUTE

x 100 x 10-L = ??mol; this was our starting solution.

And final CONCENTRATION=

0.15 . mol. 5 x 100 x 10-3L/

= 0.15 mol · L-1 150 x 10 3

=0.1 mol · L
