Answer:

Molecular formula = C₂H₆

Explanation:

Given data:

Percentage of hydrogen = 20.0 %

Percentage of carbon = 80.0 %

Molar mass = 30.0 g  

Empirical formula = ?

Solution:

Number of gram atoms of H = 20 / 1.01 = 19.8  

Number of gram atoms of C = 80 /12 = 6.7

Atomic ratio:

            C              :           H            

         6.7/6.7        :        19.8/6.7  

            1               :           3        

C : H = 1 : 3

Empirical formula is CH₃.

Molecular formula:

Molecular formula = n (empirical formula)

n = molar mass of compound / empirical formula mass

Empirical formula = CH₃ = 12×1 +3×1.01 = 15.03 g/mol

n = 30 g/mol / 15.03 g/mol

n = 2

Molecular formula = n (empirical formula)

Molecular formula = 2 (CH₃)

Molecular formula = C₂H₆

MARKING BRAINLIEST! please help asap, i need a and b, thank you

The time required to reduce the concentration from 0.00757 M to 0.00180 M is equal to 1.52 × 10⁻⁴ s. The half-life period of the reaction is 9.98× 10⁻⁵s.

<h3>What is the rate of reaction?</h3>

The rate of reaction is described as the speed at which reactants are converted into products. A catalyst increases the rate of the reaction without going under any change in the chemical reaction.

Given the initial concentration of the reactant, C₀= 0.00757 M

The concentration of reactant after time t is C₁= 0.00180 M

The rate constant of the reaction, k = 37.9 M⁻¹s⁻¹

For the first-order reaction: C_t =C_0-kt

0.00180 = 0.00757 - (37.9) t

t =  1.52 × 10⁻⁴ s

The half-life period of the reaction: t_{\frac{1}{2} } =\frac{C_0}{2k}

t_{\frac{1}{2} } =\frac{0.00757}{2\times 37.9}

Half-life of the reaction = 9.98 × 10⁻⁵s

Find the number of moles of water that can be formed if you have 182 mol of hydrogen gas and 86 mol of oxygen gas.
frutty [35]
Water has a chemical formula of H2O. This means that for every 2 moles of hydrogen and 1 mole of oxygen, one mole of water will be formed.

Note that hydrogen gas and oxygen gas are both biatomic molecules. 

 (1)                   (182 mol H2) x (1 mol H2O/ 1 mol H2) = 182 mol H2O
 (2)                   (86 mol O2) x (2 mol H2O / 1 mol O2) = 172 mol H2O

We choose the smaller number of the two as the answer to this item. Thus, the answer to this question is 172 mol of H2O can be formed out of the given quantities.
