Answer:

Empirical formula is CH

Explanation:

A hydrocarbon, CₐHₓ reacts with oxygen in the combustion reaction as follows:

CₐHₓ + O₂ → a CO₂ + x/2 H₂O

That means we can find the moles of C and H from the moles of CO2 and H2O. As empirical formula is defined as the simplest whole-number ratio of atoms in a molecule, we can determine it as follows:

<em>Moles CO2 = Moles C -Molar mass: 44.01g/mol:</em>

0.4225g * (1mol / 44.01g) = 0.0096 moles C

<em>Moles H2O -Molar mass: 18.01g/mol:</em>

0.0865g H2O * (1mol / 18.01g) = 0.0048moles H2O * (2mol H / 1mol H2O) =

0.0096 moles H

The ratio of atoms of C:H is:

0.0096moles C / 0.0096moles H = 1

That means empirical formula is CH

Answer:

625 mL

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Volume of stock solution (V₁) = 250 mL

Molarity of stock solution (M₁) = 5 M

Molarity of diluted solution (M₂) = 2 M

Volume of diluted solution (V₂) =?

The volume of the diluted solution can be obtained by using the dilution formula as illustrated below:

M₁V₁ = M₂V₂

5 × 250 = 2 × V₂

1250 = 2 × V₂

Divide both side by 2

V₂ = 1250 / 2

V₂ = 625 mL

Therefore, the volume of the diluted solution is 625 mL.

. Each antibody is designed to fight off how many pathogens
Alex_Xolod [135]
Antibodies can destroy pathogens by (i) binding to and blocking the pathogen's receptors, thus causing neutralization of the pathogen, (ii) binding to the pathogen and activating complement, and (iii) binding to the pathogen and facilitating its opsonization and uptake by macrophages, which utilize their Fc receptors ...

What is the stoichiometric ratio between BaCl2 and NaCl
bixtya [17]
<span>BaCl2+Na2SO4---->BaSO4+2NaCl There is 1.0g of BaCl2 and 1.0g of Na2SO4, which is the limiting reagent? "First convert grams into moles" 1.0g BaCl2 * (1 mol BaCl2 / 208.2g BaCl2) = 4.8 x 10^-3 mol BaCl2 1.0g Na2SO4 * (1 mol Na2SO4 / 142.04g Na2SO4) = 7.0 x 10^-3 mol Na2SO4 (7.0 x 10^-3 mol Na2SO4 / 4.8 x 10^-3 mol BaCl2 ) = 1.5 mol Na2SO4 / mol BaCl2 "From this ratio compare it to the equation, BaCl2+Na2SO4---->BaSO4+2NaCl" The equation shows that for every mol of BaCl2 requires 1 mol of Na2SO4. But we found that there is 1.5 mol of Na2SO4 per mol of BaCl2. Therefore, BaCl2 is the limiting reagent.</span>
