Answer:

The scaling factor is 5.

Explanation:

Hello there!

In this case, since the scaling factor is defined as the ratio of the molar mass of the molecular formula (complete) to the empirical formula (simplified), it is possible to compute it for the empirical formula of CH2O whose molar mass is 30 g/mol (12+2+16) as shown below:

$sf=150/30=5$

Therefore, we can also infer that the molecular formula would be:

$C_5H_1_0O_5$

Best regards!

A technician measures the weight of a reagent . The weight is 3269 g. What is the weight in kilograms ? Write your answer as a d

Georgia [21]

Answer:

3.269 kg

Explanation:

1000g = 1 kg. Since kg is the larger unit, you need to divide by 1000 to get kilograms. You can do the problem as a unit conversion:

3269 g × 1 kg = 3.269 kg

1000g

Hope this is helpful!

The following equation shows the correct molecules formed in the reaction, but the products are incorrect. CH4 +202=H20+ CO2 How

Hunter-Best [27]

For the equation to balance out, you would need 2 H2O on the product. That will give a total of 1 Carbon, 4 Hydrogens and 4 Oxygens on each side.

How can scientists use stoichiometry to ensure that commercial products contain the components that manufacturers claim they do?

Answer:

I know you have been waiting awhile for this question to be answered :)

Stoichiometry is used in industry quite often to determine the amount of materials required to produce the desired amount of products in a given useful equation. Each one of these products requires stoichiometry. There would be no products from these industries without chemical stoichiometry.

Explanation:

Hopefully this helps :D

Sorry you had to wait so long :(

GIVING BRAINLIEST One mole of hydrogen gas (H2), reacts with one mole of bromine Br2(g) to produce 2 moles of hydrogen bromide g

JulsSmile [24]

Answer:

The equation to show the the correct form to show the standard molar enthalpy of formation:

$\frac{1}{2}H_2(g) +\frac{1}{2}Br_2(l)\rightarrow HBr(g) ,\Delta H_{f}^o= -36.29 kJ$

Explanation:

The standard enthalpy of formation or standard heat of formation of a compound is the change of enthalpy during the formation of 1 mole of the substance from its constituent elements, with all substances in their standard states.

Given, that 1 mole of $H_2$ gas and 1 mole of $Br_2$ liquid gives 2 moles of HBr gas as a product.The reaction releases 72.58 kJ of heat.
