Answer:
Empirical CHO
molecular C4H4O4
Explanation:
From the question, we know that it contains 41.39% C , 3.47% H and the rest oxygen. To get the % composition of the oxygen, we simply add the carbon and hydrogen together and subtract from 100%.
This means : O = 100 - 41.39 - 3.47 = 55.14%
Next is to divide the percentage compositions by their atomic masses.
C = 41.39/12 = 3.45
O = 55.14/16 = 3.45
H = 3.47/1 = 3.47
Now we divide by the smallest value which is 3.45. We can deduce that this will definitely give us an answer of 1 all through as the values are very similar.
Hence the empirical formula of Maleic acid is CHO
Now we go on to deduce the molecular formula.
To do this we need the molar mass. I.e the amount in grammes per one mole of the compound.
Now we can see that 0.378mole = 43.8g
Then 1 mole = xg
x = (43.8*1)/0.378 = 115.87 = apprx 116
[CHO]n = 116
(12 + 1 + 16]n = 116
29n = 116
n = 116/29 = 4
The molecular formula is thus C4H4O4
Answer:
If we subtract the atomic number from the atomic mass: atomic mass - atomic number = number of protons + number of neutrons - number of protons. Thus we get the number of neutrons present in an atom when we subtract the atomic number from the atomic mass.

The volume of 0.20 moles of helium at STP is 4.5 liters.
Explanation:
Given:
Number of moles = 0.20 moles
To Find:
The volume of Helium at STP =?
Solution:
According to ideal gas law
PV = nRT
where
P is pressure,
V is volume,
n is the number of moles
R is the gas constant, and
T is temperature in Kelvin.
The question already gives us the values for p and T
,because helium is at STP. This means that temperature is 273.15 K and pressure is 1 atm
.
We also already know the gas constant. In our case, we'll use the value of
0.08206 L atm/K mol since these units fit the units of our given values the best
On substituting these values we get
V = 4.5 Liters
Since the molecule contains Hydrogen and is covalently bonded, it contains dipole-dipole forces and hydrogen bonds.
Answer:
Each carbon atom is covalently bonded to 4 other carbon atoms in diamond. A large amount of energy is required to split these atoms apart. This is because of the fact that covalent bonds are strong.
