Explanation:

Let the mass of isoamyl acetate be 100g.

Moles of Carbon = 60.58/12 = 5.048mol

Moles of Hydrogen = 7.07/1 = 7.07mol

Moles of Oxygen = 32.28/16 = 2.018mol

Mole Ratio of C : H : O

= 5.048 : 7.07 : 2.018

= 5 : 7 : 2.

Hence the empirical formula of isoamyl acetate is C5H7O2.

If you were to measure the mass of magnesium and hydrochloric acid before combining them in the test tube, how would that mass c
SIZIF [17.4K]
The balanced chemical reaction for the system given is as follows:

2Mg + 2HCl = 2MgCl + H2

The mole ratio of the reactants is one is to one which means with a given amount of magnesium requires the same amount of hydrochloric acid to have a complete reaction. If supplied exactly, then after the reaction, all of the reactants are consumed and formed into the products.

Calculate the pH of a solution prepared by dissolving 0.370 mol of formic acid (HCO2H) and 0.230 mol of sodium formate (NaCO2H)
Veronika [31]

The question is incomplete, here is the complete question:

Calculate the pH of a solution prepared by dissolving 0.370 mol of formic acid (HCO₂H) and 0.230 mol of sodium formate (NaCO₂H) in water sufficient to yield 1.00 L of solution. The Ka of formic acid is 1.77 × 10⁻⁴

a) 2.099

b) 10.463

c) 3.546

d) 2.307

e) 3.952

<u>Answer:</u> The pH of the solution is 3.546

<u>Explanation:</u>

We are given:

Moles of formic acid = 0.370 moles

Moles of sodium formate = 0.230 moles

Volume of solution = 1 L

To calculate the molarity of solution, we use the equation:

\text{Molarity of the solution}=\frac{\text{Moles of solute}}{\text{Volume of solution (in L)}}

To calculate the pH of acidic buffer, we use the equation given by Henderson Hasselbalch:  

pH=pK_a+\log(\frac{[salt]}{[acid]})

pH=pK_a+\log(\frac{[HCOONa]}{[HCOOH]})

pK_a = negative logarithm of acid dissociation constant of formic acid = 3.75

[HCOONa]=\frac{0.230}{1}  

[HCOOH]=\frac{0.370}{1}

pH = ?  

Putting values in above equation, we get:  

pH=3.75+\log(\frac{0.23/1}{0.37/1})\\\\pH=3.54

Hence, the pH of the solution is 3.546

What would happen to the oxygen atoms in ozone if the ozone layer were completely destroyed by ultraviolet radiation?
ale4655 [162]

When the oxygen atoms in ozone layer were destroyed by ultraviolet radiations the individual oxygen atoms will make bond with each other and form paired oxygen molecules again to form ozone.

What is the ozone layer?

Ozone layer has a high concentration of ozone (O3) in comparison to the rest of the atmosphere, although it is still low in comparison to other gases in the stratosphere.

The ozone layer contains less than ten parts per million of ozone, whereas the normal ozone concentration in the Earth's atmosphere is around 0.3 parts per million. The ozone layer is mostly found in the lower stratosphere.

Hitman42 [59]
The reaction would produce bubbles of gas.

We can prepare 3-5 test tubes of acid with increasing concentrations. Then, we add antacid tablets to each and note the time taken for the tablet to dissolve and stop producing bubbles. The lesser the time taken, the greater the rate of reaction.
