Zinc (Zn) has less than 34 protons, 30 to be exact, and is a transition metal in Group 12. Note: it is also called a "post-transition metal."
Answer:
Empirical CHO
molecular C4H4O4
Explanation:
From the question, we know that it contains 41.39% C , 3.47% H and the rest oxygen. To get the % composition of the oxygen, we simply add the carbon and hydrogen together and subtract from 100%.
This means : O = 100 - 41.39 - 3.47 = 55.14%
Next is to divide the percentage compositions by their atomic masses.
C = 41.39/12 = 3.45
O = 55.14/16 = 3.45
H = 3.47/1 = 3.47
Now we divide by the smallest value which is 3.45. We can deduce that this will definitely give us an answer of 1 all through as the values are very similar.
Hence the empirical formula of Maleic acid is CHO
Now we go on to deduce the molecular formula.
To do this we need the molar mass. I.e the amount in grammes per one mole of the compound.
Now we can see that 0.378mole = 43.8g
Then 1 mole = xg
x = (43.8*1)/0.378 = 115.87 = apprx 116
[CHO]n = 116
(12 + 1 + 16]n = 116
29n = 116
n = 116/29 = 4
The molecular formula is thus C4H4O4
use a strong base to neutralize, like NaOH, KOH, etc
Answer:
CH₄
Explanation:
To determine the empirical formula of the hydrocarbon, we need to follow a series of steps.
Step 1: Determine the mass of the compound
The mass of the compound is equal to the sum of the masses of the elements that form it.
m(CxHy) = mC + mH = 7.48 g + 2.52 g = 10.00 g
Step 2: Calculate the percent by mass of each element
%C = mC / mCxHy × 100% = 7.48 g / 10.00 g × 100% = 74.8%
%H = mH / mCxHy × 100% = 2.52 g / 10.00 g × 100% = 25.2%
Step 3: Divide each percentage by the atomic mass of the element
C: 74.8/12.01 = 6.23
H: 25.2/1.01 = 24.95
Step 4: Divide both numbers by the smallest one, i.e. 6.23
C: 6.23/6.23 = 1
H: 24.95/6.23 ≈ 4
The empirical formula of the hydrocarbon is CH₄.
Answer:
Examples of substances insoluble in water: oil, acetone, ether
Explanation:
Such examples of substances are non-polar and do not dissolve in water (polar compound). The classic example is oil floating in water (this happens because oil has a lower density than water).
