Answer:

X5Y2

Explanation:

% composition of X = 52.2%

% composition of Y = (100 - 52.2) = 47.8%

This means that there are 52.2g of X and 47.8g of Y in the compound

To calculate the empirical formula of the compound, we first convert the gram value to mole value by dividing by their molar masses.

X = 52.2g/42.3g/mol = 1.234mol

Y = 47.8g/96.7g/mol = 0.494mol

Next, we divide each mole value by the smallest value (0.494mol)

X = 1.234mol ÷ 0.494mol = 2.49

Y = 0.494mol ÷ 0.494mol = 1

We multiply each value by 2

X = 2.49 × 2 = 4.98

Y = 1 × 2 = 2

The simple ratio of X:Y is 5:2, hence, their empirical formula is X5Y2.

Cuál es la importancia de una fórmula química y explique las clases de fórmulas con sus ejemplos respectivos.
Ksenya-84 [330]

Answer and Explanation:

Las fórmulas químicas sirven para conocer qué elementos químicos y en qué cantidad están presentes en un compuesto químico. Por ejemplo: la fórmula química del dióxido de carbono es CO₂. Esta fórmula nos indica que la molécula de dióxido de carbono está formada por 1 átomo del elemento químico carbono y 2 átomos del elemento oxígeno.

Los diferentes tipos de fórmulas químicas son: fórmula empírica, fórmula molecular, fórmula semi-desarrollada y fórmula desarrollada. Tomando como ejemplo al compuesto <em>butano</em>:

- Fórmula empírica: C₂H₅ (indica que hay 2 átomos de C por cada 5 átomos de H; es una fórmula mínima)

- Fórmula molecular: C₄H₁₀ (indica que en realidad cada molécula de butano tiene 4 átomos de C y 10 átomos de H).

- Fórmula semi-desarrollada: CH₃CH₂CH₂CH₃ (indica el órden en que se unen los átomos en la molécula).

-Fórmula desarrollada: ver dibujo adjunto (indica cómo están unidos los átomos dentro de la molécula. Ahora vemos los enlaces entre los átomos y que los 2 átomos de C de los extremos están unidos a 3 átomos de H y a otro C, y los dos átomos de C del medio están unidos cada uno a 2 C y 2 H).

Which of the following describes a property of water that helps sustain marine life forms?
Mariana [72]

Answer:

Open spaces in water's solid structure makes its solid state less dense than its liquid state.

Explanation:

  • Water unlike other liquids is special. It contracts when cooled, down to a temperature of 4°C but thereafter begins to expand as it reaches 0°C and turns into ice.
  • This property is useful for the preservation of marine life in very cold temperatures. During winter, the surface water in water lakes and rivers starts cooling. Upon reaching the temperature of 4°C, the surface water descends to the bottom as it denser.
  • This help in the maintenance of temperature of the water at the bottom at 4°C. It is in this layer that marine life is sustained.

a compound has a molar mass of 129 g/mol if its empirical formula is C2H5N then what is the molecular formula
Elena-2011 [213]

Given :

A compound has a molar mass of 129 g/mol .

Empirical formula of compound is C₂H₅N .

To Find :

The molecular formula of the compound.

Solution :

Empirical mass of compound :

M_e = ( 2 \times 12 ) + ( 5 \times 1 ) + (  1  \times 14 )\\\\M_e = 43\ gram/mol

Now, n-factor is :

n = \dfrac{M}{M_e}\\\\n = \dfrac{129}{43}\\\\n = 3

Multiplying each atom in the formula by 3 , we get :

Molecular Formula, C₆H₁₅N₃
