The empirical formula is C₃H₃O.

Moles of C = 65.5/12.01
= 5.45 mol C
Moles of H = 5.5/1
= 5.5 mol H
Moles of O = 29.0/16
= 1.81 mol H
Moles of C: Moles of H: Moles of O =5.45: 5.5: 1.81 =
3.01: 3.0: 1 ≈ 3:3: 1
The empirical formula is C₃H₃O.

Evaluate the carbon dioxide molecule. Explain how to determine if double or triple bonds exist in the molecule.
S_A_V [24]

Answer:

It contain double Bond.

Explanation:

To determine weather the bond is double or triple simply check the electron involved in mutual sharing of an electron if 2 electron takes parts it said to be double or if 3 it said to be triple.

Select the electron-domain geometry for a molecule with three bonding domains and one nonbonding domain.
mamaluj [8]

Answer: C) Tetrahedral

Explanation:

The number of electron pairs is 4 that means the hybridization will be sp^3 but as there are three bonding domains and one nonbonding domain, thus electronic geometry is tetrahedral and the molecular geometry will be trigonal pyramidal.

Linear electron geometry is possible when number of electron pairs is 2 and the hybridization will be sp^2.

Trigonal planar geometry is possible when number of electron pairs is 3 and the hybridization will be sp^3.

Trigonal bipyramidal geometry is possible when number of electron pairs is 5 and the hybridization will be sp^3d.

Octahedral geometry is possible when number of electron pairs is 6 and the hybridization will be sp^3d^2.

The molecular mass of sodium oxide (Na2O) is
yuradex [85]
<span>The molecular mass of sodium oxide (Na2O) is A. 61.97894. The molecular mass of a molecule (Mr) is the sum of atomic masses of its atoms (Ar). The molecular mass of sodium oxide is: Mr(Na2O) = 2 * Ar (Na) + Ar(O). From the periodic table, Ar(Na) = 22.989769 and Ar(O) = 15.9994. The molecular mass of sodium oxide is: Mr(Na2O) = 2 * 22.989769 + 15.9994 = 45.979538 + 15.9994 = 61.97894.</span>

Calculate the molarity of a solution prepared by dissolving 11.5 g naoh in enough water to make 1.5 l of solution.
Ronch [10]
Molar mass NaOH = 39.997 g/mol

Number of moles :

n = mass of solute / molar mass

n = 11.5 / 39.997

n = 0.287 moles

Therefore :

Molarity = moles solute / volume 

Molarity = 0.287 / 1.5 => 0.1913 M
