  • <em>an empirical formula</em><em> </em><em>is the simplest formula for a compound </em><em>.</em><em>For</em><em> </em><em>example</em><em>,</em><em> </em><em>H2O2</em><em> </em><em>can be </em><em> </em><em>reduced to a </em><em>si</em><em>mpler</em><em> </em><em>formula</em><em>.</em><em> </em>
  • <em>Determining a Molecular Formula from an Empirical Formula The empirical formula for a compound is P 2 O 5 . Its experimental molar mass is 284 g/mol.</em>
  • <em>For example, the empirical formula of benzene (C5H5) is Qj, - because the mole ratio of carbon am'hydrogen is 1:1.</em>

What is the name for this molecule? 3-heptyne 3-heptene 3-hexyne 3-hexene
sweet-ann [11.9K]

The iupac name of the compound will be hex-3-yne or 3-hexyne. By marking number of carbon in the given compound, it was found that triple bond comes at third position and there are total 6 carbon in the compound. So it will have Hex as a prefix and as it contains triple bond so it will have yne as a suffix and as the triple bond is at third position, so it will be hex-3-yne or 3-hexyne.

How many H atoms in 12H2O?
Ilya [14]

Answer:

24 atoms of H  or 1.4 x 10²⁵ hydrogen atoms

Explanation:

simple method

1 H₂O has  atoms of hydrogen and 1 atom of oxygen

while 12H₂O will have 24 atoms of hydrogen and 12 atom of oxygen

by Avagadros number

molar mass of water H₂0=18.01528 g/mol

1 mole of H₂0 have 2 moles of Hydrogen  

one mole of water= 6.02⋅10²³water molecules =1.2 x 10²⁴hydrogen atoms

12 mole of H₂O   =    1.2 x 10²⁴ x 12=  1.4 x 10²⁵ hydrogen atoms  

<u />

1.4 x 10²⁵ hydrogen atoms   in 12 moles of H₂O

<u />

The concentration of hydronium ions is greater than 1 × 10–7 for basic solutions. True False
Nataly [62]

Answer : The given statement is, false.

Explanation :

Ionic product of water : It is defined as the product of the concentration of hydrogen ion and the concentration of hydroxide ion.

The mathematical expression will be,

[H^+][OH^-]=10^{-14}

When the concentration of hydrogen ion and hydroxide ion are equal then the solution is neutral and the value will be, 1\times 10^{-7}. And the pH of the solution is, 7.

When the concentration of hydrogen ion is greater than 1\times 10^{-7} then the solution is acidic in nature. And the pH of the solution is, less than 7.

When the concentration of hydrogen ion is less than 1\times 10^{-7} then the solution is basic in nature. And the pH of the solution is, greater than 7.

Hence, the given statement is false.
