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

Yuri [45]3 years ago

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.

Environmental Hazards are usually any chemicals that donot naturally occur to exist anywhere and are usually made in the fields of industry or experimental sciences
So if you happen for example to throw a bit of mercury in some river while being in a school trip then this is an environmental hazard created by humans

What do chemists think is the best measurement of concentration for describing the concentration of a solid solute dissolved in
lara31 [8.8K]

Answer:

Molarity.

Explanation:

  • The molarity (M) of a solution is defined as the no. of moles of solute that dissolved in 1.0 liter of the solution.

M = (mass / molar mass) of the solute (1000 / volume of the solution).

<em>So, the best measurement of concentration for describing the concentration of a solid solute dissolved in one liter of a liquid solution is Molarity.</em>

A gas containing 80% CH4 and 20% He is sent through a quart/ diffusion tube (see Figure P8.8) to recover the helium, Twenty perc
elena55 [62]

For a gas containing 80% CH4 and 20% He is sent through a quart diffusion tube, the composition is mathematically given as

%He=12.5%

%CH4=87.5%

<h3>What is the composition of the waste gas if 100 kg moles of gas are processed per minute?</h3>

Generally, the equation for the Material balance  is mathematically given as

F=R+W

Therefore

100=0.20*1000+W

W=80kmol/min

In conclusion, waste gas compose

2.0/100*100=50/100*20+%*80

Hence

%He=12.5%

%CH4=87.5%

When PCl5 solidifies it forms PCl4+ cations and PCl6– anions. According to valence bond theory, what hybrid orbitals are used by
Vlad1618 [11]

Answer:

sp³

Explanation:

Number of hybrid orbitals = ( V + S - C + A ) / 2

Where

H is the number of hybrid orbitals

V is the valence electrons of the central atom = 5

S is the number of single valency atoms = 4

C is the number of cations = 1

A is the number of anions = 0

For PCl₄⁺

Applying the values, we get:

H = ( 5+4-1+0) / 2

= 4

<u>This corresponds to sp³ hybridization.</u>
