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

lorasvet [3.4K]
You can find the ratio that it can expand with the atmospheric pressure.

200.0/101.3= 1.97 ≈ 2, this means that the balloon could expand twice its initial volume. So, it is not possible for the balloon to expand to 4 since the maximum is 2.

How are physical and<br>chemical changes different?​
astra-53 [7]
Physical changes happen when you do/mix something that can be reversed. Best example is ripping a paper, you can just tape it back together so it is just an observable thing that changes, which is a physical change. Chemical changes happen when you mix things and they make a new substance and can’t be reversed. The best example of this is the Statue of Liberty, which changed in color due to the chemical change between the oxygen and copper, which created a new substance (rust) which made it green instead of copper.
Sorry for the long answer but hope this helps!
