Okay so the trick is to find the number of moles of each compound you have:

Carbon: 47.37 g / (12.01 g/mol)  = 3.944

Hydrogen: 10.59/1.008 = 10.55

Oxygen: 42.04/16  = 2.6275

Now divide each my the smallest mole number which is oxygen.

3.944/2.6275 = 1.5

10.55/2.6275 = 4

2.6275/2.6275 = 1

So the integer ratio between C:H:O is 3:8:2.

That means the empirical fomrula of the compound is C3H8O2.

However, for the molecular formula, we have to look at the Molar Mass value given. since C3H8O2 has a molar mass of 12.01*3 + 1.008*8 + 16*2 = 76.094,

we can do 228.276/76.084 = 3. So that means the molecular formula of the compound is C9H24O6

How many liters of a 1.5 M solution can you make if you have .50 mol of KCl?
vaieri [72.5K]

Answer:

The answer to your question is 0.33 liters

Explanation:

Data

Volume = ?

Molarity = 1.5 M

number of moles = 0.5

Formula

Molarity = \frac{number of moles }{volume}

Solve for V

Volume = \frac{number of moles}{molarity}

Substitution

Volume = \frac{0.5}{1.5}

Simplification and result

       Volume = 0.33 l

How many grams of sodium metal are needed to make 29.3 grams of sodium chloride? given the reaction: 2na + cl2 → 2nacl?
Bess [88]
2Na + Cl2 → 2NaCl
46 g. ➡️ 117 g
x. ➡️ 29.3 g
x =  \frac{46 \times 29.3}{117}  \\ x = 11.5 \: g

How does the periodic table help in predicting the formula of a stable ionic compound?
marshall27 [118]
A. This is a FALSE statement because Metals in Group 1 form cations with a +1 charge and not -1. 

B. This is a TRUE statement. 

C. This is a FALSE statement because metals do not form anions i.e. negatively charged ions but form cations i.e. positively charged ions. 

D. This is a FALSE statement because metals do not form anions i.e. negatively charged ions but form cations i.e. positively charged ions.

What is the molarity of a NaOH solution if 28.2 mL of a 0.355 M H2SO4 solution is required to neutralize a 25.0-mL sample of the
Verdich [7]

Answer:

[NaOH} = 0.4 M

Explanation:

In a reaction of neutralization, we determine the equivalence point of the titration. In this case, we have a strong base and a strong acid.

(H₂SO₄, is considered strong, but the first deprotonation is weak)

2NaOH  +  H₂SO₄  →  Na₂SO₄  + 2H₂O

As we have 2 protons in the acid, we need 2 OH⁻ from the base to form 2 molecules of water.

In the equivalence point we know mmoles of base = mmoles of acid

Let's finish the excersise with the formula

25 mL . M NaOH = 28.2 mL  .  0.355M

M NaOH = (28.2 mL  .  0.355M) / 25 mL → 0.400
