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

The acid HOCl (hypochlorous acid) is produced by bubbling chlorine gas through a suspension of solid mercury(II) oxide particles
sergejj [24]

<u>Answer:</u> The expression for equilibrium constant is K_{eq}=\frac{[HOCl]^2}{[H_2O][Cl_2]^2}

<u>Explanation:</u>

Equilibrium constant is defined as the ratio of concentration of products to the concentration of reactants each raised to the power their stoichiometric ratios. It is expressed as K_{eq}

For the general chemical equation:

aA+bB\rightleftharpoons cC+dD

The expression for K_c is given as:

K_c=\frac{[C]^c[D]^d}{[A]^a[B]^b}

For the given chemical reaction:

2HgO(s)+H_2O(l)+2Cl_2(g)\rightleftharpoons 2HOCl(aq.)+HgO.HgCl_2(s)

The expression for K_{eq} is given as:

K_{eq}=\frac{[HOCl]^2[HgO.HgCl_2]}{[HgO]^2[H_2O][Cl_2]^2}

The concentration of solid is taken to be 0.

So, the expression for K_{eq} is given as:

K_{eq}=\frac{[HOCl]^2}{[H_2O][Cl_2]^2}

You can purchase nitric acid in a concentrated form that is 70.3% HNO3 by mass and has a density of 1.41 g/mL. Describe exactly
Andrej [43]
The way to working out the numbers is to increase the measure of HNO3 required by the molarity to discover what number of moles you require: 0.115. You ought to have the capacity to make sense of the recipe weight H is 1, N is 14, O is 16. The result of the quantity of moles duplicated by the recipe weight ought to give an esteem in grams. You can utilize the thickness to change over to a volume of HNO3 to add to the right volume of water.

Which statement accurately describes the reactants of a reaction?
krek1111 [17]

Answer:

C. substances that are used up in a reaction

Explanation:

Substances are combined in a chemical reaction to give rise to other substances. The substances that come together are called REACTANTS while the substances that are produced are called PRODUCTS.

Reactants are used up in the reaction to give rise to new products at the end of the reaction. For example, in the reaction as follows:

6CO2 + 6H2O --> C6H12O6 + 6O2

CO2 (carbon dioxide) and water (H2O) are the REACTANTS of the reaction, which are used up to form glucose and oxygen (products)
