What’s the empirical formula of a molecule containing 65.5% carbon, 5.5% hydrogen, and 29.0% oxygen?

1 answer:

5 0

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.

In a thin layer chromatography experiment, a plate of length 9.3 cm was used and a horizontal line was made at 1.45 cm above the

dezoksy [38]

Answer: The $R_f$ value is 0.664

Explanation:

Distance travelled by solvent front = (7.7-1.45)cm = 6.25 cm

Distance travelled by unknown = (5.6-1.45) cm = 4.15 cm

The retention factor or the $R_f$ value is defined as the ratio of distance traveled by the unknown to the distance traveled by the solvent front.

$R_f=\frac{\text {distance travelled by unknown}}{\text {distance travelled by solvent}}$

$R_f=\frac{4.15}{6.25}=0.664$

Thus the $R_f$ value is 0.664

Problem page what kind of intermolecular forces act between a dichlorine monoxide molecule and a hydrogen bromide molecule?

marta [7]

Dichlorine monoxide has the same structure like that of water. So, this is a polar molecule. For polar molecules, the dominant intermolecular force would be dipole-dipole forces. For HBr, there is a force between two oppositely charged ions, H⁺ and Br⁻. So, the dominant intermolecular force is electrostatic attraction.

What is the IUPAC name for this product?

mihalych1998 [28]

The IUPAC name for the given product is 2 chloro Butane.

<h3>What is IUPAC nomenclature?</h3>

IUPAC stands for 'International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry', which givers some rule for designing the name of compounds of chemistry.

In the given product total four carbon atoms are present and between all of them single bonds are present.
In the second carbon atom, chlorine group is present.
During the nomenclature process, first we write down the name of the attached group which is followed by the alkane chain.

Hence name of the product is 2 chloro Butane.

An empty water bottle is full of air at 15°C and standard pressure. The volume of the bottle is 0. 500 liter. How many moles of

drek231 [11]

The moles of gas in the bottle has been 0.021 mol.

The ideal gas has been given as the gas where there has been negligible amount of interatomic collisions. The ideal gas equation has been given as:

$PV=nRT$

<h3>Computation for the moles of gas</h3>

The gi<em>ve</em>n gas has standard pressure, $P=1\rm atm$

The volume of the gas has been, $V= 0. 500 \;\rm L$

The temperature of the gas has been, $T=15^\circ \text C\\
T=288\;\rm K$

Substituting the values for the moles of gas, <em>n:</em>

<em />

<em /> $\rm 1\;\times\; 0. 500 =\textit n\;\times\;0.08214\;atm.L/mol.K\;\times\;288\;K\\\\
\textit n=\dfrac{0. 500}{0.08214\;\times\;288} \;mol\\\\
\textit n=0.021\;mol$

The moles of gas in the bottle has been 0.021 mol.
