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.

You wish to construct a buffer of pH=7.0. Which of the following weak acids (w/ corresponding conjugate base) would you select?
Alex17521 [72]

Answer:

C.) HOCl Ka=3.5x10^-8

Explanation:

In order to a construct a buffer of pH= 7.0 we need to find the pKa values of all the acids given below

we Know that

pKa= -log(Ka)

therefore

A) pKa of  HClO2 = -log(1.2 x 10^-2)

=1.9208

B) similarly PKa of HF= -log(7.2 x 1 0^-4)= 2.7644

C)  pKa of HOCl= -log(3.5 x 1 0^-8)= 7.45

D) pKa of HCN = -log(4 x 1 0^-10)=  9.3979

If we consider the  Henderson- Hasselbalch equation for the calculation of the pH of the buffer solution

The weak acid for making the buffer must have a pKa value near to the desired pH of the weak acid.

So, near to value, pH=7.0. , the only option is HOCl whose pKa value is 7.45.

Hence, HOCl will be chosen for buffer construction.

What volume in liters of carbon monoxide will be required to produce 18.9 L of nitrogen in the reaction below
mina [271]

Answer:

37.8 L OF CARBON MONOXIDE IS REQUIRED TO PRODUCE 18.9 L OF NITROGEN.

Explanation:

Equation for the reaction:

2 CO + 2 NO ------> N2 + 2 CO2

2 moles of carbon monoxide reacts with 2 moles of NO to form 1 mole of nitrogen

At standard temperature and pressure, 1 mole of a gas contains 22.4 dm3 volume.

So therefore, we can say:

2 * 22.4 L of CO produces  22.4 L of N2

44.8 L of CO produces 22.4 L of N2

Since, 18.9 L of Nitrogen is produced, the volume of CO needed is:

44.8 L of CO = 22.4 L of N

x L = 18.9 L

x L = 18.9 * 44.8 / 22.4

x L = 18.9 * 2

x = 37.8 L

The volume of Carbon monoxide required to produce 18.9 L of N2 is 37.8 L

What process forms an image in a mirror? Choices: A. absorbing light B. Reflecting light C. Refracting light D. Transmitting lig
Dafna1 [17]

Answer

Using the law of reflection—the angle of reflection equals the angle of incidence—we can see that the image and object are the same distance from the mirror. This is a virtual image, since it cannot be projected—the rays only appear to originate from a common point behind the mirror.

Explanation:

Hope this helps someone
