Answer: The empirical formula is $C_3H_3O$ .

Explanation:

The chemical equation for the combustion of hydrocarbon having carbon, hydrogen and oxygen follows:

$C_xH_yO_z+O_2\rightarrow CO_2+H_2O$

where, 'x', 'y' and 'z' are the subscripts of Carbon, hydrogen and oxygen respectively.

We are given:

Mass of $CO_2$ = 12.24 g

Mass of $H_2O$ = 2.505 g

Molar mass of carbon dioxide = 44 g/mol

Molar mass of water = 18 g/mol

For calculating the mass of carbon:

In 44g of carbon dioxide, 12 g of carbon is contained.

So, in 12.24 g of carbon dioxide, = $\frac{12}{44}\times 12.24=3.338g$ of carbon will be contained.

For calculating the mass of hydrogen:

In 18g of water, 2 g of hydrogen is contained.

So, in 2.505 g of water, = $\frac{2}{18}\times 2.505=0.278g$ of hydrogen will be contained.

Mass of oxygen in the compound = (5.287) - (3.338+0.278) = 1.671 g

Step 1 : convert given masses into moles.

Moles of C = $\frac{\text{ given mass of C}}{\text{ molar mass of C}}= \frac{3.338g}{12g/mole}=0.278moles$

Moles of H= $\frac{\text{ given mass of H}}{\text{ molar mass of H}}= \frac{0.278g}{1g/mole}=0.278moles$

Moles of O= $\frac{\text{ given mass of O}}{\text{ molar mass of O}}= \frac{1.671g}{16g/mole}=0.104moles$

Step 2 : For the mole ratio, divide each value of moles by the smallest number of moles calculated.

For C = $\frac{0.278}{0.104}=3$

For H = $\frac{0.278}{0.104}=3$

For O = $\frac{0.104}{0.104}=1$

The ratio of C : H : O = 3: 3: 1

Hence the empirical formula is $C_3H_3O$ .

Given the balanced equation, 2 H2 + O2 -> 2 H2O, answer the following

9966 [12]

Answer: $O_2$ is the limiting reagent

Explanation:

To calculate the moles :

$\text{Moles of solute}=\frac{\text{given mass}}{\text{Molar Mass}}$

$\text{Moles of} H_2=\frac{10.0g}{2g/mol}=5.00moles$

$\text{Moles of} O_2=\frac{20.0g}{32g/mol}=0.625moles$

The balanced chemical reaction is :

$2H_2+O_2\rightarrow 2H_2O$

According to stoichiometry :

1 moles of $O_2$ require = 2 moles of $H_2$

Thus 0.625 moles of $O_2$ will require= $\frac{2}{1}\times 0.625=1.25moles$ of $H_2$

Thus $O_2$ is the limiting reagent as it limits the formation of product and $H_2$ is the excess reagent as it is present more than the required amount.

If arranged in order of increasing atomic mass, which element would come after chlorine?

Eva8 [605]

Look at the periodic table the element next at the right of Cl is the Ar and the atomic mass is 39.948 is bigger than the Cl 35.45. All the elements after that has mases bigger than Cl.

I need to write down like meanings in those words. Please help!!

ser-zykov [4K]

Answer:

Bilateral: When something is bilateral it has two sides or it affects both sides of something. Discussions between two political parties are called bilateral because both sides get to share their views. Bilateral comes from Latin: bi means "two" and lateralis means "belonging to the side."

Endotherm: is an organism that maintains its body at a metabolically favorable temperature, largely by the use of heat set free by its internal bodily functions instead of relying almost purely on ambient heat

Subspecies: In biological classification, the term subspecies refers to one of two or more populations of a species living in different subdivisions of the species' range and varying from one another by morphological characteristics. ... In the wild, subspecies do not interbreed due to geographic isolation or sexual selection

Arthropod: Arthropoda, such as an insect, spider, or crustacean.

Micrometer: an instrument used with a telescope or microscope for measuring very small distances. 2 : an instrument having a rod moved by fine screw threads and used for making exact measurements. micrometer.

Hypothermia: Hypothermia is a potentially dangerous drop in body temperature, usually caused by prolonged exposure to cold temperatures. The risk of cold exposure increases as the winter months arrive. But if you're exposed to cold temperatures on a spring hike or capsized on a summer sail, you can also be at risk of hypothermia.

Polymorph: Polymorphism is the ability of a substance to crystallize into different crystalline forms. These crystalline forms are called polymorphs or crystalline modifications. Polymorphs have the same liquid or gaseous state but they behave differently in the solid state.

In a calorimeter, 10.0 g of ice melts at 0oC. The enthalpy of fusion of the ice is 334 J/g.

d1i1m1o1n [39]

Answer:

D

Explanation:

In the problem above it is

q = mass x heat fusion

q = 10 g x 334 J/g = 3340 J. Since the ice is absorbing heat it is + 334 J.
