Licopene, a red pigment found in tomatoes, has the empirical formula C5H7, and its molecular mass is found to be approximately 5

37 amu. How many empirical units are in the actual molecular formula
Chemistry
1 answer:
bekas [8.4K]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

8

Explanation:

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

Empirical formula = C₅H₇

Molecular weight = 537 amu.

Number of empirical unit (n) =?

We can obtain the number of empirical units in the actual molecular formula by doing the following:

[C₅H₇]n = 537

[(12×5) + (1×7)]n = 537

[60 + 7]n = 537

67n = 537

Divide both side by 67

n = 537/67

n = 8

Thus, there are 8 empirical units in the molecular formula

Explain why scientists find the particulate matter of theory useful
BARSIC [14]

This idea has historical significance. The ancient Greek philosopher Democritus (born 460 BCE), who held that everything is composed of small particles moving in empty space, is credited with developing the first hypothesis we have about the microscopic universe. He had some concrete proof for this, such the fact that items like a new loaf of bread or a rose may give off a scent even when they are far from the source. Being a materialist, he thought that these odors originated from actual material particles released by the bread or the rose, rather than being purely a type of magic. He reasoned that these particles must float through the air, with some of them maybe landing in your nose where you can smell them immediately. This still makes sense in modern times. But many of us now have quite different perspectives on these "particles."

Thank you,

Eddie

A 0.15 m solution of chloroacetic acid has a ph of 1.86. What is the value of ka for this acid?
dem82 [27]

Answer: 1.67\times 10^{-3}

Explanation:

ClCH_2COOH\rightarrow ClCH_2COO^-+H^+

   cM              0             0

c-c\alpha        c\alpha          c\alpha  

So dissociation constant will be:

K_a=\frac{(c\alpha)^{2}}{c-c\alpha}

Given:  c = 0.15 M

pH = 1.86

K_a = ?

Putting in the values we get:

Also pH=-log[H^+]

1.86=-log[H^+]

[H^+]=0.01

[H^+]=c\times \alpha

0.01=0.15\times \alpha

\alpha=0.06

As [H^+]=[ClCH_2COO^-]=0.01

K_a=\frac{(0.01)^2}{(0.15-0.15\times 0.06)}

K_a=1.67\times 10^{-3]

Thus the vale of K_a for the acid is 1.67\times 10^{-3}

Which of the following compounds would contain an electrostatic attraction as bonds between ions?
4vir4ik [10]

Answer:

iron sulfate

Explanation:

Electrostatic attraction as bonds between ions is characteristic of the electrovalent bond or the ionic bond

In this type of bond, there is electron transfer from one atom to another. The atom that looses electrons become positively charged while the atom that gains electrons becomes negatively charged.

In iron sulfate, there is electrostatic attraction between Fe II ions and sulphate ions, making iron sulfate an ionic compound.
