Answer:

C8H12F6

Explanation:

To solve this question we need to find the moles of each atom in order to find the empirical formula (The empirical formula is defined as the simplest whole-number ratio of atoms present in a molecule). Using the empirical formula and the molar mass we can find molecular formula as follows:

<em>Moles C:</em>

2.35g * (1mol / 12g) = 0.1958 moles C

<em>Moles H:</em>

0.294g (1mol /1g) = 0.294 moles H

<em>Moles F -Molar mass: 19.0g/mol-: </em>

Mass F: 5.43g - 2.35g C - 0.294g H = 2.786g F * (1mol / 19.0g) = 0.1466 moles F

The moles of atoms dividing in the moles of F (Lower number of moles) produce the simplest ratio as follows:

C = 0.1958mol C / 0.1466mol F = 1.33

H =0.294mol H / 0.1466mol F = 2

F = 0.1466 mol F / 0.1466mol F = 1

As the empirical formula requires whole numbers, this ratio multiplied 3 times:

C = 4

H = 6

F=3

The empirical formula is:

C4H6F3

With molar mass of:

4C = 12*4 = 48

6H = 1*6 = 6

3F = 19*3 = 57

The molar mass is: 48g/mol + 6g/mol + 57g/mol = 111g/mol

As we know the molecule has a molar mass between 219-225g/mol and the empirical formula is 111g/mol, 2 times empirical formula will produce a molecule with the molar mass of the molecule, that is:

A sample of gas occurs 9.0mL at a pressure of 500mmHg. A new volume of the same sample is at 750mmHg. Use two significant figure
Anit [1.1K]

Answer:

V₂ = 6.0 mL

Explanation:

Given data:

Initial volume = 9.0 mL

Initial pressure = 500 mmHg

Final volume = ?

Final pressure = 750 mmHg

Solution:

According to Boyle's Law

P₁V₁ = P₂V₂

V₂ = P₁V₁ / P₂

V₂ = 500 mmHg × 9.0 mL / 750 mmHg

V₂ = 4500 mmHg .mL / 750 mmHg

V₂ = 6.0 mL

What mass of solute is contained in 25.4 ml of a 1.56 m potassium bromide solution?
mash [69]
Answer is: mass of <span>potassium bromide is 4.71 grams.
V(KBr) = 25.4 mL </span>÷ 1000 mL/L = 0.0254 L, volume of solution.
c(KBr) = 1.56 mol/L.
n(KBr) = c(KBr) · V(KBr).
n(KBr) = 1.56 mol/L  0.054 L.
n(KBr) = 0.0396 mol, amount of substance.
m(KBr) = n(KBr) · M(KBr).
m(KBr) = 0.0396 mol · 119 g/mol.
m(KBr) = 4.71 g.
M - molar mass.

At a constant temperature, a sample of helium at 760 torr in a closed container was compressed from 5.0 L to 3.0 L. What was the
borishaifa [10]

Answer:

The new pressure exerted by the He, is 1266.6 Torr

Explanation:

A typical problem of gases where the volume is increased and the moles and T° keeps on constant. This is an indirect proportion because when the volume of the flask is increased, pressue decreases because molecules  collide to a lesser extent with the walls of the vessel.

P₁ . V₁ = P₂ . V₂

760 Torr . 5L = P₂ . 3L

P₂ = (760 Torr . 5L) / 3L

P₂ = 1266.6 Torr

Question 2<br> What is 3 x 108 written in standard form?
andriy [413]

I think you meant 3.08*10x^{8}

If you want to do that then you it will be 308 , 000 , 000

or if you meant 3 x 108 then it would literally just be 3 multiplied by 108 = 324
