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

Answer: Sediment Transport by Wind

Explanation: Like flowing water, wind picks up and transports particles. Wind carries particles of different sizes in the same ways that water carries them (Figure below). Tiny particles, such as clay and silt, move by suspension. They hang in the air, sometimes for days.

Carbon dioxide dissolves in water to form carbonic acid, which is primarily dissolved CO2. Dissolved CO2 satisfies the equilibri

lorasvet [3.4K]

Explanation:

The reaction equation will be as follows.

$CO_{2}(aq) + H_{2}O \rightleftharpoons H^{+}(aq) + HCO^{-}_{3}(aq)$

Calculate the amount of $CO_{2}$ dissolved as follows.

$CO_{2}(aq) = K_{CO_{2}} \times P_{CO_{2}}$

It is given that $K_{CO_{2}}$ = 0.032 M/atm and $P_{CO_{2}}$ = $1.9 \times 10^{-4}$ atm.

Hence, $[CO_{2}]$ will be calculated as follows.

$[CO_{2}]$ = $K_{CO_{2}} \times P_{CO_{2}}$

= $0.032 M/atm \times 1.9 \times 10^{-4}atm$

= $0.0608 \times 10^{-4}$

or, = $0.608 \times 10^{-5}$

It is given that $K_{a} = 4.46 \times 10^{-7}$

As, $K_{a} = \frac{[H^{+}]^{2}}{[CO_{2}]}$

$4.46 \times 10^{-7} = \frac{[H^{+}]^{2}}{0.608 \times 10^{-5}}$

$[H^{+}]^{2}$ = $2.71 \times 10^{-12}$

$[H^{+}]$ = $1.64 \times 10^{-6}$

Since, we know that pH = $-log [H^{+}]$

So, pH = $-log (1.64 \times 10^{-6})$

= 5.7

Therefore, we can conclude that pH of water in equilibrium with the atmosphere is 5.7.

<h3>What is an ideal gas equation?</h3>

The ideal gas law (PV = nRT) relates the macroscopic properties of ideal gases. An ideal gas is a gas in which the particles (a) do not attract or repel one another and (b) take up no space (have no volume).

Calculate the moles of the gas using the gas law,

PV=nRT, where n is the moles and R is the gas constant. Then divide the given mass by the number of moles to get molar mass.

Given data:

P= 4.972 atm

V= 9.583 L

n=?

R= $0.082057338 \;L \;atm \;K^{-1}mol^{-1}$
