Answer:

Mass of C = 47.37g

Mass of H = 10.59g

Mass of O = 42.04g

The total mass of these elements is 100g, taking a proportion of their molar masses.

C = 47.37/12= 3.95

H = 10.59/1 = 10.59

O = 42.04/16= 2.63.

Dividing through with the smallest proportion which is 2.63

C=3.95/2.63 = 1.5

H =10.59/2.63 =4

O = 2.63/2.63= 1

Multiplying through by 2 to get a whole number.

C = 1.5x2 = 3

H= 4x2 = 8

O = 1x2= 2

The empirical formula is C3H6O2

(Empirical formula)n= molecular mass

(C3H8O2)n =228.276

(12x3 +8+16x2)n= 228.276

76n = 228.276

n = 228.276/76

n = 3

Molecular formula = Empirical formula

=(C3H8O2)3 = C9H24O6

The molecular formula is C9H24O6

How many moles are in 29.5 grams of Ax?
JulsSmile [24]

The number of moles present in 29.5 grams of argon is 0.74 mole.

The atomic mass of argon is given as;

Ar = 39.95 g/mole

The number of moles present in 29.5 grams of argon is calculated as follows;

39.95 g ------------------------------- 1 mole

29.5 g ------------------------------ ?

= \frac{29.5}{39.95} \\\\= 0.74 \ mole

Thus, the number of moles present in 29.5 grams of argon is 0.74 mole.

When studying atoms, scientists can ignore the
vekshin1

When studying atoms, scientists can ignore <u>the Gravitational</u> force between charged particles that make up  the atoms because it is many millions of times smaller than other forces in the atom.

Explanation:

Scientists can ignore the gravitational force because the gravitational force is considered to be negligible as compared to the other forces due to its smaller value.We all know that the gravitational force is directly proportional to the mass of an object which  result in  a small force value.When the value of this small force is compared to the value of the electrical force between protons and electrons in atoms the we can say that the electrical force is million times stronger than the gravitational force

Thus we can say that scientists can ignore <u>the Gravitational</u> force between charged particles that make up  the atoms because it is many millions of times smaller than other forces in the atom.

At a certain temperature, the solubility of strontium arsenate, sr3(aso4)2, is 0.0480 g/l. what is the ksp of this salt at this
Nadusha1986 [10]
Given the solubility of strontium arsenate is 0.0480 g/l . we have to convert it into mol/L by dividing it over molar mass (540.7 g/mol)
Molar solubility = 0.0480 / 540.7 = 8.9 x 10⁻⁵ mol/L
Dissociation equation:
Sr₃(AsO₄)₂(s) → 3 Sr²⁺(aq) + 2 AsO₄³⁻(aq)
                             3 s                   2 s
Ksp = [Sr²⁺]³ [AsO₄³⁻]²
       = (3s)³ (2s)²
       = 108 s⁵
Ksp = 108 (8.9 x 10⁻⁵) = 5.95 x 10⁻¹⁹

Compared to a 0.1 M aqueous solution of NaCl, a 0.8 M aqueous solution of NaCl has a
Ivenika [448]
Answer 2, because when you add salt to something, it cools faster (ex. When you add salt to an ice chest so that it stays cold) and it takes longer to boil (ex. When you boil salt out of ocean water so that its safe to drink) therefore, the more NaCl in the solution, the more it will exibit these properties
