Answer: The correct option is b) 600

Explanation:

Molecules are formed when two atoms of same or different elements combine together.

Atoms are the smallest unit of matter that combines to form a compound.

For the given chemical compound, $CH_3CO_2H$

Given number of molecules = 300 molecules

In 1 mole of the given chemical compound, there are 2 atoms of carbon, 4 atoms of hydrogen and 2 atoms of oxygen

Number of atoms of oxygen = $2\times \text{Number of molecules of compound}$

Number of atoms of oxygen = $2\times 300=600atoms$

Hence, the correct option is b) 600

ethylene glycol, commonly used in automobile antifreeze, contains only carbon, hydrogen and oxygen.combustion analysis of a 23.4

Kay [80]

Answer:

Molecular formula of ethylene glycol is C₂H₆O₂.

Explanation:

Given data:

mass of ethylene glycol = 23.4 mg

mass of water = 20.42 mg

mass of carbon dioxide = 33.27 mg

molar mass of ethylene glycol = 62.0 g / mol

Molecular formula of ethylene glycol = ?

Solution:

percentage of carbon = (33.27 mg/ 23.46 mg) × (12 /44) × 100

= (1.4182× 0.27) × 100 = 38.29

percentage of hydrogen = (20.42 mg/ 23.46 mg) × (2 /18) × 100

= (0.8704× 0.11) × 100 = 9.67

percentage of oxygen = 100 - (38.29 + 9.67 )

= 100 - 47.96 = 52.04

Now we will determine the number of grams atoms of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen.

No. of gram atoms of carbon = 38.29 /12 = 3.19

No. of gram atoms of hydrogen = 9.67 / 1 = 9.67

No. of gram atoms of oxygen = 52.04 / 16 = 3.25

Atomic ratio:

C :H :O 3.19/ 3.19 : 9.67 / 3.19 : 3.25 /3.19

C :H :O 1 : 3 : 1

Molecular formula:

Molecular formula = n × (empirical formula)

n = molar mass of compound / empirical formula mass

empirical formula mass= 1 × 12 + 3 × 1 + 1 × 16

empirical formula mass= 12+3 +16 = 31

n = 62 g /mol / 31 = 2

Molecular formula = n × (empirical formula)

Molecular formula = 2 × (CH₃O)

Molecular formula = C₂H₆O₂

Please fill out completely for my understanding. Thank-You!

Archy [21]

The atomic number,atomic mass,valence electrons and the formula for calculating the number of neutrons is also given.The following table has been completed below in the attachment.

Explanation:

Atomic Number:the number of protons /electrons present in the nucleus of an atom is called the atomic number.

Mass Number/Atomic Mass:the number of protons and neutrons present in a nucleus

Example: $C_{6} ^{12}$ ;here;6 implies the atomic number and 12 implies the mass number/atomic mass

No.of neutrons=Mass number-Number of protons

Valence electrons:the number of electrons present in the outer most shell of an atom are called valence electrons

Example:If we consider a carbon atom;as its electronic configuration is2,4 and it belongs to 4th group.Therefore the number of valency electrons in carbon is 4.

Write the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation for a solution of formic acid. Calculate the quotient [HCO2]/[HCO2H] at (a) pH 3.000; (

Elena L [17]

Answer:

a. 0.182

b. 1.009

c. 1.819

Explanation:

Henderson-Hasselbach equation is:

pH = pKa + log [salt / acid]

Let's replace the formula by the given values.

a. 3 = 3.74 + log [salt / acid]

3 - 3.74 = log [salt / acid]

-0.74 = log [salt / acid]

10⁻⁰'⁷⁴ = 0.182

b. 3.744 = 3.74 + log [salt / acid]

3.744 - 3.74 = log [salt / acid]

0.004 = log [salt / acid]

10⁰'⁰⁰⁴ = 1.009

c. 4 = 3.74 + log [salt / acid]

4 - 3.74 = log [salt / acid]

0.26 = log [salt / acid]

10⁰'²⁶ = 1.819
