Answer:

Empirical formula is C₃H₄O

Explanation:

Empirical formula:

It is the simplest formula gives the ratio of atoms of different elements in small whole number .

Given data:

Percentage of hydrogen = 7.14%

Percentage of carbon = 64.3%

Percentage of oxygen = 28.6%

Empirical formula = ?

Solution:

Number of gram atoms of H = 7.14 / 1.01 = 7.1

Number of gram atoms of O = 28.6 / 16 = 1.8

Number of gram atoms of C = 64.3 / 12 = 5.4

Atomic ratio:

            C                  :         H            :         O

         5.4/1.8             :      7.1/1.8       :       1.8/1.8

            3                   :        4            :        1

C : H : O = 3 : 4 : 1

Empirical formula is C₃H₄O.

How many milliliters of 0.1 m hcl is required to react with 0.15g sodium carbonate (na2co3?
docker41 [41]
1) Write the balanced chemical equation

     2HCl + Na2 CO3 ----------> 2NaCl + H2CO3

2) Write the molar ratios:

    2 mol HCl : 1 mol Na2CO3 : 2 mol NaCl : 1 mol H2CO3

3) Convert 0.15g of sodium carbonate to number of moles

3a) Calculate the molar mass of Na2CO3

Na: 2 * 23 g/mol = 46 g/mol

C: 12 g/mol =

O: 3 * 16 g/mol = 48 g/mol

molar mass = 46g/mol + 12g/mol + 48g/mol = 106 g/mol

3b.- Calculate the number of moles of Na2CO3

# moles = grams / molar mass = 0.15 g / 106 g/mol = 0.0014 mol Na2CO3

4) Calculate the number of moles of HCl from the molar proportion:

[0.0014 mol Na2CO3] * [2 mol HCl / 1 mol Na2CO3] = 0.0028 mol HCl

5) Calculate the volume of HCl from the definition of Molarity

Molarity, M = # moles / volume in liters

=> Volume in liters = # moles / M = 0.0028 mol / 0.1 M = 0.028 liters

0.028 liters * 1000 ml / liter = 28 ml.

Answer: 28 mililiters of 0.1 M HCl.

How many atoms are in 5 mole of water?<br> Steps
Vladimir79 [104]

Answer: 3.01 x 10^24 atoms

Explanation:

Based on Avogadro's law:

1 mole of any substance has 6.02 x 10^23 atoms

So, 1 mole of water = 6.02 x 10^23 atoms

5 moles of water = Z atoms

To get the value of Z, cross multiply

Z x 1 mole = (6.02 x 10^23 atoms x 5 moles)

Z•mole = 30.1 x 10^23 atoms•mole

Divide both sides by 1 mole

Z•mole/1 mole = 30.1 x 10^23 atoms•mole/ 1 mole

Z = 30.1 x 10^23 atoms

[Place the value of Z in standard form]

Z = 3.01 x 10^24 atoms

Thus, there are 3.01 x 10^24 atoms in 5 mole of water
