The empirical formula for this vitamin : C₃H₄O₃

<h3>Further explanation   </h3>

The empirical formula is the smallest comparison of atoms of compound =mole ratio of the components

The principle of determining empirical formula

  • Determine the mass ratio of the constituent elements of the compound.  
  • Determine the mole ratio by dividing the percentage by the atomic mass

Mass of C in CO₂ :(MW C = 12 g/mol, CO₂=44 g/mol)

\tt \dfrac{12}{44}\times 1.4991=0.409~g

Mass of H in H₂O :(MW H = 1 g/mol, H₂O = 18 g/mol)

\tt \dfrac{2.1}{18}\times 0.4092=0.0455~g

Mass O = Mass sample - (mass C + mass H) :

\tt 1-(0.409+0.0455)=0.5455~g

mol ratio C : H : O =

\tt \dfrac{0.409}{12}\div \dfrac{0.0455}{1}\div \dfrac{0.5455}{16}\\\\0.0341\div 0.0455\div 0.0341\rightarrow 1\div 1.33\div 1=3\div 4\div 3

Mademuasel [1]

Answer:

\boxed{-6.29 \times10^{5}\text{ J}}

Explanation:

Step 1. Determine the cell potential

                                                  <u>    E°/V     </u>

2×[Cr ⟶ Cr³⁺ + 3e⁻]                  0.744  V

<u>3×[Cu²⁺ + 2e⁻ ⟶ Cu]             </u>   <u>0.3419 V </u>

2Cr + 3Cu²⁺ ⟶ 3Cu  + 2Cr³⁺    1.086  V

Step 2. Calculate ΔG°

\Delta G^{\circ} = -nFE_{\text{cell}}^{^{\circ}} = -6 \times 96 485 \times 1.086 = \text{-629 000 J}\\\\= \boxed{-6.29 \times10^{5}\text{ J}}

What are the parts of the atomic theory
Anvisha [2.4K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Dalton’s Atomic Theory  

All elements are composed of tiny indivisible particles called atoms.

All atoms of the same element are identical.

Atoms of different elements are different(they have different sizes, masses, chemical properties, etc.).

Atoms of different elements can combine with each other in simple whole number ratios to form compounds. (Law of Definite Proportions).

Chemical reactions occur when atoms are separated, joined, or rearranged. However, atoms of one element are NOT changed into atoms of another element by a chemical reaction. (Law of Conservation of Mass).
