Which of the following formulas represents an empirical formula?

Chemistry
1 answer:
luda_lava [24]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

C is the only option that represents an empirical formula, as it can't be simplified further.

You can turn C8H18, for example: to C4H9, but you can't do the same with C2H5.

Let me know if this helps!

What volume in mt, of 0.5a M1HCI solution is needed to neutralize 77 ml of 1.54 M NaOH solution?
Rainbow [258]

Answer:

237.2 mL.

Explanation:

  • We have the rule: at neutralization, the no. of millimoles of acid is equal to the no. of millimoles of the base.

(XMV) acid = (XMV) base.

where, X is the no. of (H) or (OH) reproducible in acid or base, respectively.

M is the molarity of the acid or base.

V is the volume of the acid or base.

<em>(XMV) HCl = (XMV) NaOH.</em>

<em></em>

For HCl; X = 1, M = 0.5 M, V = ??? mL.

For NaOH, X = 1, M = 1.54 M, V = 77.0 mL.

<em>∴ V of HCl = (XMV) NaOH / (XV) HCl = (</em>1)(1.54 M)(77.0 mL) / (1)(0.5 M) = <em>237.2 mL.</em>

Among the following options, a valid Lewis structure of __________ cannot be drawn without violating the octet rule.
Murrr4er [49]

Answer:

d. IF3

Explanation:

The Octet rule posits that atoms gain, atom lose, or share electrons in order to have a full valence shell of 8 electrons. This statement occurs when atoms also combine to form molecules until they attain or share eight valence electrons either by losing or gaining eletrons.

From the given options, a valid Lewis structure that cannot be drawn without violating the octet rule is IF3

Melting can be best described as a process in which molecules
Savatey [412]
Gain enough kinetic energy to get past each other. Ad you heat up a substance, the temperature increases as does the kinetic energy of the particles. At a point the temperature of the substance will stop increasing. The energy is now being used to increase the potential and move the particles further apart.

2) Nitrogen gas will react with hydrogen gas to produce ammonia, NH3, How many
Delicious77 [7]

Answer:

12 grams of hydrogen gas

and 56 grams of nitrogen gas

The molar mass of ammonia is 17 g/mol.

68 grams of ammonia corresponds to  

17g/mol

68g

​

=4moles

4 moles of ammonia will be obtained from  

2

4×1

​

=2  moles of nitrogen and  

2

4×3

​

=6  moles of hydrogen.

The molar masses of nitrogen and hydrogen are 28 g/mol and 2 g/mol respectively.

2 moles of nitrogen corresponds to 2×28=56  grams.

6 moles of hydrogen corresponds to 6×2=12  grams.
