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

Why are atomic masses on the Periodic Table written in decimals when they are based on mass numbers that can be whole numbers?
Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]
To allow for equations and problems in chemistry to be as precise as possible. When experiments are conducted, and even if the number is the slightest bit off, the problem or experiment could be impacted very negatively. It allows for complete accuracy to ensure nothing goes wrong, since chemistry is very touchy and risky when dealing with extremely unsafe elements.

A sample of HI (9.30×10^−3mol) was placed in an empty 2.00 L container at 1000 K. After equilibrium was reached, the concentrati
Sedaia [141]

Answer:

The answer is "29.081"

Explanation:

when the empty 2.00 L container of 1000 kg, a sample of HI (9.30 x 10-3 mol) has also been placed.  

\text{calculating the initial HI}= \frac{mol}{V}

                                       =\frac{9.3 \times 10 ^ -3}{2}

                                      =0.00465 \ Mol

\text{Similarly}\ \  I_2 \ \  \text{follows} \ \  H_2 = 0 }

Its density of I 2 was 6.29x10-4 M if the balance had been obtained, then we have to get the intensity of equilibrium then:

HI  = 0.00465 - 2x\\\\ I_{2}  \ eq = H_2 \ eq = 0 + x \\\\

It is defined that:

I_2 = 6.29 \times 10^{-4}  \ M \\\\x = I_2 \\\\

HI \ eq= 0.00465 - 2x \\

          =0.00465 -2 \times 6.29 \times 10^{-4} \\\\ =  0.00465 -\frac{25.16 }{10^4}  \\\\   = 0.003392\  M

Now, we calculate the position:  

For the reaction H 2(g) + I 2(g)\rightleftharpoons  2HI(g), you can calculate the value of Kc at 1000 K.  

data expression for Kc

2HI \rightleftharpoons  H_2 + I_2 \\\\\to Kc = \frac{H_2 \times I_2}{HI^2}

         = \frac{6.29\times10^{-4} \times 6.29 \times 10^{-4}}{0.003392^2} \\\\= \frac{6.29\times 6.29 \times 10^{-8}}{0.003392^2} \\\\= \frac{39.564 \times 10^{-8}}{1.150 \times 10-5} \\\\= 0.034386

calculating the reverse reaction

H_2(g) + I_2(g)\rightleftharpoons  2HI(g)

Kc = \frac{1}{Kc} \\\\

     = \frac{1}{0.034386}\\ \\= 29.081\\

Suppose a gas mixture used for anesthesia contains 4.60 mol oxygen (O₂) and 6.00 mol nitrous oxide (N₂O). The total pressure of
julia-pushkina [17]

Considering the definition of mole fraction, the mole fraction of O₂ in the mixture is 0.434.

<h3>Definition of mole fraction</h3>

The molar fraction is a way of measuring the concentration that expresses the proportion in which a substance is found with respect to the total moles of the solution.

In other words, the mole fraction expresses the concentration of solute in a solution as the ratio of moles of substance to total moles of solution:

mole fraction=\frac{moles of substance}{moles of solution}

<h3>Mole fraction of O₂ in this mixture</h3>

In this case, you know a gas mixture used for anesthesia contains 4.60 mol oxygen (O₂) and 6.00 mol nitrous oxide (N₂O).

So, the total moles of the solution can be calculated as:

Total moles = moles of oxygen (O₂) + moles of nitrous oxide (N₂O)

Then:

Total moles= 4.60 moles + 6 moles

Total moles= 10.60 moles

Finally, the more fraction of O₂ can be calculated as follow:

Mole fraction of O_{2} =\frac{moles of O_{2}}{total moles}

Mole fraction of O_{2} =\frac{4.60 moles}{10.6o moles}

Solving:

<u><em>Mole fraction O₂ = 0.434</em></u>

Finally, the mole fraction of O₂ in the mixture is 0.434.
