A former high school teacher was discovered making meth, and the dea recently analyzed some confiscated material from a drug bus

t he was associated with. they found a compound with the empirical formula c17h14o7 that has a molar mass of 990.87 g/mol. what is the value of n (the multiplier) necessary to find the molecular formula?

n = 3. (I know I'm answering this a week later, still hope this helps you understand the concept.) C17H14O7 has a molar mass of 330.29 g/mol. An empirical formula is essentially just a chemical formula simplified down to it's most common denominator of the subscripts. Dividing 990.87 g/mol by 330.29 g/mol gives us 3, the value of n. To go further, the chemical he was using was C51H42O21, or... (2R,2'R,2''R,3R,3'R,3''R,4R,4'R,4''S)-2,2',2''-Tris(3,4-dihydroxyphenyl)-4''-(2,4,6-trihydroxyphenyl)-3,3',3'',4,4',4''-hexahydro-2H,2'H,2''H-4,8':4',8''-terchromene-3,3',3'',5,5',5'',7,7',7''-nonol, whatever the hell that is.

Answer:

3 is the value of n necessary to find the molecular formula.

Explanation:

The equation used to calculate the valency is :

n=\frac{\text{molecular mass}}{\text{empirical mass}}

We are given:

Mass of molecular formula = 990.87 g/mol

Mass of empirical formula of C_{17}H_{14}O_7:

12 g/mol+17+1 g/mol\times 14+16 g/mol\times 7=330 g/mol

Putting values in above equation, we get:

n=\frac{990.87 g/mol}{330 g/mol}=3.00

3 is the value of n necessary to find the molecular formula.

The molecular formula is : C_{51}H_{42}O_{21}

katovenus [111]

Answer:

Explanation:

Muscles in a kangaroo’s legs work because of the cells that make up the muscle. Which component of cell theory does this best illustrate?

All living things are made of cells.

Cells are the basic unit of structure and function of all living things.

All cells come from other cells.

Cells are generated from nonliving materials.

Cells are the basic unit of structure and function of all living things.

3. If x electrons are needed to displace 108 g silver from a solution which contains Ag ions,
ss7ja [257]

Answer:

Choice A. x electrons would be required for displacing 9\; \rm g of aluminum from a solution of \rm Al^{3+} ions.

Assumption: by "\rm Ag ions" the question meant \rm Ag^{+} with a charge of +1 on each ion.

Explanation:

The question states that the relative atomic mass of \rm Ag is 108. In other words, each mole of

Therefore, that 108\; \rm g\! of silver that were formed would contain 1\; \rm mol of silver atoms.

Metallic silver would precipitate out of this \rm Ag^{+} solution only after these ions are turned into \rm Ag atoms.

One \rm Ag^{+} ion carries one unit of positive electrical charge. On the other hand, each  e^{-} carries one unit of negative electrical charge.

Therefore, each \rm Ag^{+}\! ion will need to gain one electron to form a neutral \rm Ag atom.

{\rm Ag^{+}}\; (aq) + e^{-} \to {\rm Ag}\; (s).

At least  1\; \rm mol of electrons would be required to turn 1\; \rm mol\! of \rm Ag^{+} ions into that 1\; \rm mol\!\! of silver atoms (which have a mass of 108\; \rm g\!.)

Hence, x = 1\; \rm mol.

Unlike \rm Ag^{+} ions, each aluminum ion \rm Al^{3+} carries three units of positive electrical charge. That is three times the amount of charge on one \rm Ag^{+}\! ion. Therefore, three electrons will be required to turn one \rm Al^{3+}\! ion to an \rm Al atom.

{\rm Al^{3+}}\; (aq) + 3\, e^{-} \to {\rm Al}\; (s)

The question states that the relative atomic mass of \rm Al is 27. Therefore, each mole of \rm Al\! atoms would have a mass 27\; \rm g. There would be \displaystyle \frac{9\; \rm g}{27\; \rm g \cdot mol^{-1}} = \frac{1}{3} \; \rm mol of atoms in that 9\; \rm g of \rm Al\!\!.

It takes 3\; \rm mol of electrons to turn one mole of \rm Al^{3+} ions to one mole of \rm Al atoms. Hence, \displaystyle \frac{1}{3}\times 3\; \rm mol = 1\; \rm mol of electrons would be required to produce that \displaystyle \frac{1}{3}\; \rm mol of \rm Al\! atoms (which has a mass of 9\; \rm g) from \rm Al^{3+}\! ions.

That corresponds to the first choice, x electrons.
