Answer:

Molecular formula => C₃H₈O₃

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Carbon (C) = 39.12%

Hydrogen (H) = 8.75%

Oxygen (O) = 51.12%

Molar mass of compound = 92.09 g/mol

Molecular formula =?

Next, we shall determine the empirical formula of the compound. This can be obtained as follow:

C = 39.12%

H = 8.75%

O = 51.12%

Divide by their molar mass

C = 39.12 / 12 = 3.26

H = 8.75 / 1 = 8.75

O = 51.12 / 16 = 3.195

Divide by the smallest

C = 3.26 / 3.195 = 1

H = 8.75 / 3.195 = 2.7

O = 3.195 / 3.195 = 1

Thus, the empirical formula is CH₂.₇O

Finally, we shall determine the molecular formula of the compound. This can be obtained as follow:

Empirical formula = CH₂.₇O

Molar mass of compound = 92.09 g/mol

Molecular formula =?

Molecular formula = Empirical formula × n

Molecular formula = [CH₂.₇O]ₙ

92.09 = [12 + (2.7×1) + 16] × n

92.09 = 30.7n

Divide both side by 30.7

n = 92.09 / 30.7

n = 3

Molecular formula = [CH₂.₇O]ₙ

Molecular formula = [CH₂.₇O]₃

Molecular formula = C₃H₈O₃

Determine the freezing point of an aqueous solution containing 10.50 g of magnesium bromide in 200.0 g of water.

Rudiy27

For an aqueous solution of MgBr2, a freezing point depression occurs due to the rules of colligative properties. Since MgBr2 is an ionic compound, it acts a strong electrolyte; thus, dissociating completely in an aqueous solution. For the equation:

ΔTf<span> = (K</span>f)(<span>m)(i)
</span>where:
ΔTf = change in freezing point = (Ti - Tf)
Ti = freezing point of pure water = 0 celsius
Tf = freezing point of water with solute = ?
Kf = freezing point depression constant = 1.86 celsius-kg/mole (for water)
m = molality of solution (mol solute/kg solvent) = ?
i = ions in solution = 3

Computing for molality:
Molar mass of MgBr2 = 184.113 g/mol

m = 10.5g MgBr2 / 184.113/ 0.2 kg water = 0.285 mol/kg

For the problem,
ΔTf = (Kf)(m)(i) = 1.86(0.285)(3) = 1.59 = Ti - Tf = 0 - Tf

Tf = -1.59 celsius

The balanced equation for combustion in an acetylene torch is shown below:

vichka [17]

Answer:

70mol

Explanation:

The equation of the reaction is given as:

2C₂H₂ + 5O₂ → 4CO₂ + 2H₂O

Given parameters:

Number of moles of acetylene = 35.0mol

Number of moles of oxygen in the tank = 84.0mol

Unknown:

Number of moles of CO₂ produced = 35.0mol

Solution:

From the information given about the reaction, we know that the reactant that limits this combustion process is acetylene. Oxygen is given in excess and we don't know the number of moles of this gas that was used up. We know for sure that all the moles of acetylene provided was used to furnish the burning procedure.

To determine the number of moles of CO₂ produced, we use the stoichiometric relationship between the known acetylene and the CO₂ produced from the balanced chemical equation:

From the equation:

2 moles of acetylene produced 4 moles of CO₂

∴ 35.0 mol of acetylene would produced:

$\frac{35 x 4}{2}$ = 70mol

Calculate the mean kinetic energy {e1rans) in joules of the following molecules at 350 k: (a) he, (b) co2, and (c) uf6. explain

Lady bird [3.3K]

The mean kinetic energy per molecule is , where is the Boltzmann constant and T is the absolute temperature.

So at 1000°C, the T = 1273.15 K, kB=1.38 × 10-23, therefore the mean kinetic energy is 2.635 × 10⁻²⁰J.

<h3><u>What is Kinetic energy ?</u></h3>

The energy an item has as a result of motion is known as kinetic energy.

A force must be applied to an item in order to accelerate it. We must put forth effort in order to apply a force. After the job is finished, energy is transferred to the item, which then moves at a new, constant speed. Kinetic energy is the type of energy that is transmitted and is dependent on the mass and speed attained.

Kinetic energy may be converted into other types of energy and transported between things. A flying squirrel may run into a chipmunk that is standing still, for instance. Some of the squirrel's original kinetic energy may have been transferred to the chipmunk or changed into another kind of energy after the impact.
