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

Describe the three main types of plate boundary interactions:
bulgar [2K]

Answer:

In the explanation

Explanation:

Divergent: When two plates are diverging from each other, meaning that the two plates are moving away from each other. Events that may occur include ridges or rifts.

Convergent: When two plates are moving towards each other.

If a continental plate and an oceanic plate are converging, the oceanic plate would slide underneath the continental plate since it is thinner. This would result in subduction, which means that part of the oceanic plate would hang underneath the continental plate, where magma can melt the hanging part.

If two continental plates are converging, the crash would result in mountains or volcanic activity. Magma could rise and rush from the crack. There would be a bump in these tectonic plates.

Transform: When two plates are sliding past each other. Earthquakes can occur when the plates are sliding. When an oceanic plate is involved, the movement of the plates could cause a tsunami as well. The water above the transform fault could rise, and grow bigger and bigger. The 2011 Japan Tsunami is a good example of this.

Hope this helps!

When heated, lithium reacts with nitrogen to form lithium nitride: 6Li(s) + N2(g) → 2Li3N(s) What is the theoretical yield of Li
anyanavicka [17]

Answer:

The % yield of the reaction = 27.5 %

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Mass of Li = 12.7 grams

Mass of N2 = 34.7 grams

Actual yield of Li3N = 5.85 grams

Molar mass of  Lithium = 6.94 g/mol

Molar mass of N2 = 28 g/mol

Molar mass of LI3N = 34.83 g/mol

Step 2: The balanced equation:

6Li(s) + N2(g) → 2Li3N(s)

Step 3: Calculate moles of Lithium

Moles Li = mass Li / Molar mass Li

Moles Li = 12.7 grams / 6.94 g/mol

Moles Li = 1.83 moles

Step 4: Calculate moles of N2

Moles N2 = 34.7 g/ 28 g/mol

Moles N2 = 1.24 moles

Step 5: Limiting reactant

For 6 moles Li consumed, we need 1 mole of N2 to produce 2 moles of Li3N

Lithium is the limiting reactant. It will completely be consumed (1.83 moles).

N2 is in excess. There will be consumed 1.83 / 6 = 0.305 moles

There will remain 1.24 - 0.305 = 0.935 moles

Step 6: Calculate moles of Li3N

For 6 moles Li consumed, we need 1 mole of N2 to produce 2 moles of Li3N

For 1.83 moles Li, we'll have 1.83/3 = 0.61 moles of Li3N

Step 7: Calculate mass of Li3N

Mass Li3N =moles LI3N * Molar Mass LI3N

Mass Li3N = 0.610 moles * 34.83 g/mol

Mass Li3N = 21.2463 grams = Theoretical yield

Step 8: Calculate % yield

% yield = actual yield / theoretical yield

% yield = (5.85 / 21.2463)*100% = 27.5%

The % yield of the reaction = 27.5 %

How many liters of water vapor can be produced if 13.3 liters of methane gas (CH4) are combusted, if all measurements are taken
Pie
To get the number of liters of water vapor produced from the combustion of methane gas, we just need the stoichiometric ratio of water to methane which is 2:1. So the number of liters of water vapor from 13.3 liters of methane is 26.6 liters.
