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.

A gas is at a pressure of 3.70 atm. What is this pressure in kilopascals?
Yanka [14]
Answer:
                =   374.90 kPa 

Calculation:
                  As we know atm and kiloPascal are related to each other as,

                                         1 atm  =  101.325 kPa
So,
                                    3.70 atm  =   X
Solving for X,
                                     X  = (3.70 atm × 101.325 kPa) ÷ 1 atm

                                     X  =  374.90 kPa
