Find the empirical and the molecular formula of acetylene gas composed of 92.26 percent carbon and 7.74 percent hydrogen
Hitman42 [59]

Answer:

CH

Explanation:

92.26% = 92.26 g

7.74% = 7.74 g

carbon is 92.26 x 1 mole/12.011 = 7.68

hydrogen is 7.74 x 1 mole/1.008 = 7.68

carbon 7.68 ÷ hydrogen 7.68 = 1

so 1 is your subscript for both carbon and hydrogen

Ba(oh)2+H3po4+h2o how is it <br> balance ?
Igoryamba

Answer:

3Ba(OH)2 + 2H3PO4 —> Ba3(PO4)2 + 6H2O

Explanation:

Ba(OH)2 + H3PO4 —> Ba3(PO4)2 + H2O

There are 3 atoms of Ba on the right side and 1atom on the left side. It can be balance by putting 3 in front of Ba(OH)2 as shown below:

3Ba(OH)2 + H3PO4 —> Ba3(PO4)2 + H2O

There are 2 atoms of P on the right side and 1atom on the left. It can be balance by putting 2 in front of H3PO4 as shown below:

3Ba(OH)2 + 2H3PO4 —> Ba3(PO4)2 + H2O

Now, there are a total of 12 atoms of H on the left side and 2 atoms on the right side. It can be balance by putting 6 in front of H2O as shown below:

3Ba(OH)2 + 2H3PO4 —> Ba3(PO4)2 + 6H2O

Now the equation is balanced as the numbers of the atoms of the different elements present on both sides are equal

A sample contains 16. 75 g of the radioisotope U-236 and 50. 25 g of its daughter isotope, Th-232. How long did it take for deca
garri49 [273]

The time taken for the isotope to decay is 46 million years.

We'll begin by calculating the number of half-lives that has elapsed. This can be obtained as follow:

  • Original amount (N₀) = 50.25 g
  • Amount remaining (N) = 16.75
  • Number of half-lives (n) =?

2ⁿ = N₀ / N

2ⁿ = N₀ / N

2ⁿ = 50.25 / 16.75

2ⁿ = 3

Take the log of both side

Log 2ⁿ = 3

nLog 2 = Log 3

Divide both side by log 2

n = Log 3 / Log 2

n = 2

Finally, we shall determine the time.

  • Half-life (t½) = 23 million years
  • Number of half-lives (n) = 2
  • Time (t) =?

t = n × t½

t = 2  × 23

t = 46 million years

some inkjet printers produce picoliter-sized drops. how many water molecules are there in one picoliter of water? the density of
GrogVix [38]

3.37 x 10¹⁰ molecules

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Volume of water = 1pL = 1 x 10⁻¹²L

Density of water = 1.00g/mL = 1000g/L

Unknown:

Number of water molecules = ?

Solution:

To solve this problem, we first find the mass of the water molecule in the inkjet.

       Mass of water = density of water x volume of water

Then, the number of molecules can be determined using the expression below:

        number of moles = \frac{mass of water}{molar mass of water}

 Number of molecules = number of moles x 6.02 x 10²³

Solving:

Mass of water = 1 x 10⁻¹² x 1000 = 1 x 10⁻⁹g

Number of moles:

Molar mass of H₂O = 2 + 16 = 18g/mol

Number of moles = \frac{1 x 10^{-12} }{18} = 5.6 x 10⁻¹⁴moles

Number of molecules =  5.6 x 10⁻¹⁴   x   6.02 x 10²³ = 33.7 x 10⁹

                                     = 3.37 x 10¹⁰ molecules
