Boric acid, H3BO3, in aqueous solution would only give out one H+ ion. As it is also produce OH ion and by hydrolysis it produces one proton. <span>All the boron compounds (BX3) are having only 6 valence electrons in it and should follow the octet rule by taking another electron.</span>
B(OH)3 + 2 H2O → B(OH)4− + H3O

Answer:
A. The partial pressure for CH4 = 0.0925atm
B. The partial pressure for C2H6 = 0.925atm
C. The partial pressure for C3H8 = 0.346atm
D. The partial pressure for C4H10 = 0.115atm
Explanation:
Total pressure = 1.48atm
Total mole = 0.4+4+1.5+0.5=6.4
A. Mole fraction of CH4 = 0.4/6.4 = 0.0625
The partial pressure for CH4 = 0.0625 x 1.48 = 0.0925atm
B. Mole fraction of C2H6 = 4/6.4 = 0.625
The partial pressure for C2H6 = 0.625 x 1.48 = 0.925atm
C. Mole fraction of C3H8 = 1.5/6.4 = 0.234
The partial pressure for C3H8 = 0.234 x 1.48 = 0.346atm
D. Mole fraction of C4H10 = 0.5/6.4 = 0.078
The partial pressure for C4H10 = 0.078 x 1.48 = 0.115atm
The empirical formula gives the relative ratio of atoms in each element. Therefore, it simplifies the whole numbers. For example C2H6 can be reduced to CH3 because they share the greatest common factor (2). The answer to this question would be #1. C4H10 can be reduced to C2H5 because 4 and 10 are both divisible by 2. C2H5 can not be reduced any further. All of the other options do not have a greatest common factor making them a empirical formula.
