Answer:

the molecular formula of the soap is C₅₄H₁₀₂O₆

Explanation:

Given;

composition of carbon, C = 76.5%

composition of oxygen, O = 11.3%

Composition of hydrogen, H = 12.2%

The empirical formula is calculated as follows;

C: 76.5% / 12 O: 11.3% / 16 H: 12.2% / 1

= 6.375 = 0.706 = 12.2

Divide through by the least number (0.706);

= 6.375/0.706 = 0.706 / 0.706 = 12.2 / 0.706

= 9 = 1 = 17

The empirical formula = C₉H₁₇O

The molecular formula is calculated as follows;

(C₉H₁₇O)n = 847

(9 x 12 + 17 x 1 + 16 x 1)n = 847

(108 + 17 + 16)n = 847

141n = 847

n = 847/141

n = 6

The molecular is (C₉H₁₇O)6 = C₅₄H₁₀₂O₆

Therefore, the molecular formula of the soap is C₅₄H₁₀₂O₆

II. Ionic Equations

mario62 [17]

Answer:

Complete ionic: $\begin{aligned}& \rm 2\, Ag^{+}\, (aq) + 2\, {NO_3}^{-} \, (aq) + Ca^{2+}\, (aq) + 2\, Cl^{-}\, (aq) \\ & \rm \to 2\, AgCl\, (s) + Ca^{2+}\, (aq) + 2\, {NO_3}^{-}\, (aq)\end{aligned}$ .

Net ionic: $\begin{aligned}& \rm Ag^{+}\, (aq) + Cl^{-}\, (aq) \to AgCl\, (s)\end{aligned}$ .

Explanation:

Start by identifying species that exist as ions. In general, such species include:

Soluble salts.
Strong acids and strong bases.

All four species in this particular question are salts. However, only three of them are generally soluble in water: $\rm AgNO_3$ , $\rm CaCl_2$ , and $\rm Ca(NO_3)_2$ . These three salts will exist as ions:

Each $\rm AgNO_3\, (aq)$ formula unit will exist as one $\rm Ag^{+}$ ion and one $\rm {NO_3}^{-}$ ion.
Each $\rm CaCl_2$ formula unit will exist as one $\rm Ca^{2+}$ ion and two $\rm Cl^{-}$ ions (note the subscript in the formula $\rm CaCl_2\!$ .)
Each $\rm Ca(NO_3)_2$ formula unit will exist as one $\rm Ca^{2+}$ and two $\rm {NO_3}^{-}$ ions.

On the other hand, $\rm AgCl$ is generally insoluble in water. This salt will not form ions.

Rewrite the original chemical equation to get the corresponding ionic equation. In this question, rewrite $\rm AgNO_3$ , $\rm CaCl_2$ , and $\rm Ca(NO_3)_2$ (three soluble salts) as the corresponding ions.

Pay attention to the coefficient of each species. For example, indeed each $\rm AgNO_3\, (aq)$ formula unit will exist as only one $\rm Ag^{+}$ ion and one $\rm {NO_3}^{-}$ ion. However, because the coefficient of $\rm AgNO_3\, (aq)\!$ in the original equation is two, $\!\rm AgNO_3\, (aq)$ alone should correspond to two $\rm Ag^{+}\!$ ions and two $\rm {NO_3}^{-}\!$ ions.

Do not rewrite the salt $\rm AgCl$ because it is insoluble.

$\begin{aligned}& \rm 2\, Ag^{+}\, (aq) + 2\, {NO_3}^{-} \, (aq) + Ca^{2+}\, (aq) + 2\, Cl^{-}\, (aq) \\ & \rm \to 2\, AgCl\, (s) + Ca^{2+}\, (aq) + 2\, {NO_3}^{-}\, (aq)\end{aligned}$ .

Eliminate ions that are present on both sides of this ionic equation. In this question, such ions include one unit of $\rm Ca^{2+}$ and two units of $\rm {NO_3}^{-}$ . Doing so will give:

$\begin{aligned}& \rm 2\, Ag^{+}\, (aq) + 2\, Cl^{-}\, (aq) \to 2\, AgCl\, (s)\end{aligned}$ .

Simplify the coefficients:

$\begin{aligned}& \rm Ag^{+}\, (aq) + Cl^{-}\, (aq) \to AgCl\, (s)\end{aligned}$ .

You have an aqueous solution of chromium(III) nitrate that you titrate with an aqueous solution of sodium hydroxide. After a cer

barxatty [35]

Answer:

The precipitate was chromium hydroxide, which then reacted with more hydroxide to produce a soluble complex, Cr(OH)4

Explanation:

The following reaction takes place when chromium(III) nitrate reacts with NaOH:

$Cr(NO)_{3}$ +3 NaOH → $Cr(OH)_{3}$ (s)+ $NaNO_{3}$

The precipitate that is formed is chromium hydroxide, $Cr(OH)_{3}$

When more NaOH is added, the precipitate reacts with it which then results in the formation of a soluble complex ion:

$Cr(OH)_{3}$ (s) + $OH^{-}$ (aq) → $Cr(OH)_{4} ^{-}$ (aq)

$Cr(OH)_{4} ^{-}$ is soluble complex ion

Which of the following statements is true for an exothermic reaction?

shutvik [7]

The enthalpy change for an exothermic reaction is negative because heat is being released, so that takes out two of the responses. Since energy is being released into the surroundings due to the exothermic reaction, the potential energy of the products is lower than that of the reactants. Energy is being put in to make the reaction occur, but then that energy is all being released into the surroundings thus a lower potential energy level for the products
