What is the empirical formula for C10h22

Chemistry
1 answer:
Contact [7]3 years ago
5 0

The empirical formula is
C5H11


Explanation:
We have decane, the alkane with a chemical formula of
C10H22
.
The empirical formula of a substance has the smallest ratio between the elements its composed of.
Here, we got the carbon to hydrogen ratio as
10:22
. So, we need to find the greatest common factor between the two numbers.

10=2*5

22=2*11

As you can see here, the greatest common factor between the two numbers is
2
, and so we divide both numbers by
2
.
10/2=5

22/2=11


And so, the new formula becomes

C5H11

Calculate the average net charge on phenylalanine if it is in a solution that has a ph of 8.70.
Alex Ar [27]
Phenylalanine has two known pKa charges: 1.83 and 9.13. To determine their individual ionic dissociation charges at pH 10, the equation to be used is

pH = pKa + log [α/(1-α)]

At pKa 1.83:
10 = 1.83 + log [α₁/(1-α₁)]
α₁ = 0.99999

At pKa 9.13:
10 = 9.13 + log [α₂/(1-α₂)]
α₂ = 0.88114

Average Net Charge =  0.99999 + 0.88114 = 1.88
