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

=<em><u>4</u></em><em><u>.</u></em><em><u>1</u></em><em><u>1</u></em><em><u> </u></em><em><u>m</u></em><em><u>o</u></em><em><u>l</u></em>

no of moles of O = givem mass ÷molar mass

=43.79÷ 16

=<em><u>2</u></em><em><u>.</u></em><em><u>7</u></em><em><u>3</u></em><em><u> </u></em><em><u>m</u></em><em><u>o</u></em><em><u>l</u></em>

no. of moles of H =6.9÷1

=<em><u>6</u></em><em><u>.</u></em><em><u>9</u></em><em><u> </u></em><em><u>m</u></em><em><u>o</u></em><em><u>l</u></em>

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

The density of benzene at 15 °c is 0.8787 g/ml. Calculate the mass of 0.1500 l of benzene at this temperature. Enter your answer
Otrada [13]

Answer:

131.8 g.

Explanation:

  • There is a relation that relates the density of the substance (d) to the mass (m) and the volume of the substance (V):

<u><em>d = m / V.</em></u>

d = 0.8787 g/ml.

V = 0.15 L x 1000 = 150 ml.

  • ∴ the mass of 0.15 L of benzene = d x V = (0.8787 g/ml) (150 ml) = 131.8 g.

Complete and balance the following acid-base reaction equation ______HNO3 + ______ Mg(OH)2 ------&gt;
jekas [21]

Answer

_2 HNO₃ + 1 Mg(OH)₂ → 1 Mg(NO₃)₂ + 2 H₂O

Explanation

Given:

______HNO3 + Mg(OH)2 ------>

Solution:

Note that the reaction between an acid and a base will give salt and water only.

Hence the complete reaction of the given equation is:

___HNO₃ + Mg(OH)₂ → Mg(NO₃)₂ + H₂O

To get the balanced equation for the acid-base reaction, 2 moles of HNO₃ will react with 1 mole of Mg(OH)₂ to produced 1 mole of Mg(NO₃)₂ and 2 moles of H₂O.

Therefore, the complete and balanced equation for the given acid-base reaction is:

_2 HNO₃ + 1 Mg(OH)₂ → 1 Mg(NO₃)₂ + 2 H₂O
