Explanation:

49.31 + 43.79 = 93.10

finding the percentage of hydrogen in the compound hence 100-93.10 =6.9

therefore 6.9 percent of hydrogen is present in the compound

assuming that the compound is in 100 g so the elements present would be 49.31g of C , 43.79g of O and 6.9g of H

no. of moles of C = given mass÷molar mass

= 49.31 ÷ 12

=4.11 mol

no of moles of O = givem mass ÷molar mass

=43.79÷ 16

=2.73 mol

no. of moles of H =6.9÷1

=6.9 mol

dividing the no. of moles of each element by the least count of the elemnt to get the ratio of the simple whole numbr

therefore

so by dividing we get 1:1:2 of C:O:H

the empirical formula is CH2O

empirical formula mass of CH2O IS

= (12)+(2×1)+(16)

= 12+2+16

=30 G/MOL

n= molar mass of the compound ÷ empirical formula mass of the compound

so, n= 146.1 ÷30

n=5

molecular formula = n×empirical formula

molecular formula=C5H10O5 (ribose is the compound)

Placing a suspect at the scene of a crime is an important element in criminal investigation. This can be achieved through the lo

r-ruslan [8.4K]

Answer:A) cotton

A fiber if available in trace or appropriate amount can link a suspect to a crime.Solubility is a preliminary test performed for identification of the type of fiber. In this method small amount of fiber evidence is dissolved in the suitable solvent to identify it's type. Some fibers completely get solublize in the solvent, some get partially soluble and other can only change their color or do not dissolve at all.

According to the given situation, the fiber dissolved in hydrochloric acid can be cotton. As the fibers of cotton are soft and slender and will get easily solubilize in hydrochloric acid.

If a 500 ml sample of water contains 2.6 x 10-6 g of iron, what is the concentration of iron in ppb?

Anastasy [175]

The concentration of iron in ppb is 5.2 ppb

In atmospheric chemistry, PPM( parts per million) and PPB( parts per billion) units are used to express the concentration of gases. PPB stands for parts per billion, while PPM stands for parts of gas per million parts of air.

2.6 × 10⁻⁶ grams of iron in 500 ml of water.

Now, converting milliliter into liter:

500 mL = 500 mL × ( 1L / 1000 mL ) = 0.5 L

Now for ppm, mass must be in mg.

2.6 × 10⁻⁶ grams = 2.6 × 10⁻⁶ grams × ( 1000 mg / 1 grams ) = 2.6 × 10⁻³ mg

Then, the concentration of iron in ppm will be:

2.6 × 10⁻³ mg / 0.5 L = 5.2 × 10⁻³ ppm

Now, 1 ppm = 1000 ppb

Therefore,

5.2 × 10⁻³ ppm × 10³ = 5.2 ppb

A solution is made by dissolving 15.5 grams of glucose (C6H12O6) in 245 grams of water. What is the freezing point depression of

sergij07 [2.7K]

From the equation; ΔTf = Kf × m
Where, Kf for water = 1.853 K kg/mole; m is the molarity = number of solute/amount of solvent in kg.
Glucose is the solute whose molecular mass is 180 g/mole and water is the solvent.
Moles of solute = 15.5/180 = 0.0861 moles
Amount of solvent in kg = 245/1000 = 0.245 Kg
Therefore; molarity = 0.0861/0.245 = 0.3515 moles/Kg
Therefore; ΔTf = 1.853 × 0.3515 = 0.6513 K
Hence; the depression in freezing point is 0.6513
The freezing point of solution will therefore be;
= 273 - 0.6513 = 272.3487 K
