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

Harvey kept a balloon with a volume of 348 milliliters at 25.0˚C inside a freezer for a night. When he took it out, its new volu
ad-work [718]

Initial volume of the balloon = V_{1}= 348 mL

Initial temperature of the balloon T_{1} = 25.0^{0}C + 273 = 298 K

Final volume of the balloon V_{2} = 322 mL

Final temperature of the balloon = T_{2} = ?

According to Charles law, volume of an ideal gas is directly proportional to the temperature at constant pressure.

\frac{V_{1} }{T_{1} } =\frac{V_{2} }{T_{2} }

On plugging in the values,

\frac{348mL}{298 K} =\frac{322 mL}{T_{2} }

T_{2} =276 K

Therefore, the temperature of the freezer is 276 K
