Answer:

C₆H₈O₆

Explanation:

First off, the<u> percent of oxygen by mass</u> of vitamin C is:

  • 100 - (40.9+4.58) = 54.52 %

<em>Assume we have one mol of vitamin C</em>. Then we would have <em>180 grams</em>, of which:

  • 180 * 40.9/100 = 73.62 grams are of Carbon
  • 180 * 4.58/100 = 8.224 grams are of Hydrogen
  • 180 * 54.52/100 = 98.136 grams are of Oxygen

Now we <u>convert each of those masses to moles</u>, using the <em>elements' respective atomic mass</em>:

  • C ⇒ 73.62 g ÷ 12 g/mol = 6.135 mol C ≅ 6 mol C
  • H ⇒ 8.224 g ÷ 1 g/mol = 8.224 mol H ≅ 8 mol H
  • O ⇒ 98.136 g ÷ 16 g/mol = 6.134 mol O ≅ 6 mol O

So the molecular formula for vitamin C is C₆H₈O₆

A 25.00 mL sample of the ammonia solution
musickatia [10]

Answer:

1.634 molL-1

Explanation:

The mol ration between NH3 and HCl is 1 : 1

Using Ca Va / Cb Vb = Na / Nb   where a = acid and b = base

Na = 1

Nb = 1

Ca = 0.208 molL-1

Cb = ?

Va = 19.64 mL

Vb = 25.00mL

Solving for Cb

Cb = Ca Va / Vb

Cb = 0.208 * 19.64 / 25.0

Cb = 0.1634 molL-1 (Concentration of diluted ammonia solution)

Using the dilution equation;

C1V1 = C2V2

Initial Concentration, C1 = ?

Initial Volume, V1 = 25.00 mL

Final Volume, V2 =  250 mL

Final Concentration, C2 = 0.1634 molL-1

Solving for C1;

C1 = C2 * V2 / V1

C1 = 0.1634 * 250 / 25.00

C1 = 1.634 molL-1

An unknown liquid is composed of 34.31% c, 5.28% h, and 60.41% i. The molecular weight is 210.06 amu. What is the molecular form
ozzi

In an unknown liquid, the percentage composition with respect to carbon, hydrogen and iodine is 34.31%, 5.28% and 60.41% respectively.

Let the mass of liquid be 100 g thus, mass of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen will be 34.31 g, 5.28 g and 60.41 g respectively.

To calculate molecular formula of compound, convert mass into number of moles as follows:

n=\frac{m}{M}

Molar mass of carbon, hydrogen and iodine is 12 g/mol, 1 g/mol and 126.90 g/mol.

Taking the ratio:

C:H:I=n_{C}:n_{H}:n_{I}

Putting the values,

C:H:I=\frac{34.31 g}{12 g/mol}:\frac{5.28 g}{1 g/mol}:\frac{60.41 g}{126.90 g/mol}=6:11:1

Thus, molecular formula of compound will be C_{6}H_{11}I.

What is a zone of weak, variable winds located at 30 degrees north and 30 degrees south?
timurjin [86]

Answer:

Horse latitude, trade winds

Explanation:

  • The area of the low pressure or the calm consists of the variable light winds that blow near the equator are known to the marines as the doldrums and they form a circuital pattern near the earth atmosphere.
  • Forms at a center of the near the higher pressure systems called as the horse latitudes where the  trade winds at the surface are weak and variable and this zone is found generally in latitudes of the 30° North and South of the equator and move in an east to west direction.
