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

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

A chemist prepares a solution of silver(I) nitrate by measuring out of silver(I) nitrate into a volumetric flask and filling the
leva [86]

Answer:

3.33 M

Explanation:

It seems your question is incomplete, however, that same fragment has been found somewhere else in the web:

" <em>A chemist prepares a solution of silver nitrate (AgNO3) by measuring out 85.g of silver nitrate into a 150.mL volumetric flask and filling the flask to the mark with water.</em>

<em>Calculate the concentration in mol/L of the chemist's silver nitrate solution. Be sure your answer has the correct number of significant digits.</em> "

In this case, first we <u>calculate the moles of AgNO₃</u>, using its molecular weight:

  • 85.0 g AgNO₃ ÷ 169.87 g/mol = 0.500 mol AgNO₃

Then we<u> convert the 150 mL of the volumetric flask into L</u>:

  • 150 / 1000 = 0.150 L

Finally we <u>divide the moles by the volume</u>:

  • 0.500 mol AgNO₃ / 0.150 L = 3.33 M

O que são processos físicos de separação das misturas? Dê 3 exemplos
chubhunter [2.5K]

Answer:

Explanation:

The physical methods of separating mixtures are used in sorting a mixture of substances.

It requires no chemical changes occurring between their components and parts in any significant way.

Examples are:

  1. Decantation
  2. Filtration
  3. Sublimation
  4. Magnetism
  5. Centrifugation

The methods simply relies on the physical properties of matter.

What volume (in L) will a 32 g sample of butane gas, C4H10(g), occupy at a temperature of 45.0 oC and a pressure of 728 mm Hg?
larisa86 [58]

Answer:

15.0 L

Explanation:

To find the volume, you need to use the Ideal Gas Law:

PV = nRT

In this equation,

-----> P = pressure (mmHg)

-----> V = volume (L)

-----> n = moles

-----> R = Ideal Gas constant (62.36 L*mmHg/mol*K)

-----> T = temperature (K)

To calculate the volume, you need to (1) convert grams C₄H₁₀ to moles (via the molar mass), then (2) convert the temperature from Celsius to Kelvin, and then (3) calculate the volume (via the Ideal Gas Law).

Molar Mass (C₄H₁₀): 4(12.011 g/mol) + 10(1.008 g/mol)

Molar Mass (C₄H₁₀): 58.124 g/mol

32 grams C₄H₁₀              1 moles
-------------------------  x  -----------------------  = 0.551 moles C₄H₁₀
                                    58.124 grams

P = 728 mmHg                      R = 62.36 L*mmHg/mol*K

V = ? L                                    T = 45.0 °C + 273.15 = 318.15 K

n = 0.551 moles

PV = nRT

(728 mmHg)V = (0.551 moles)(62.36 L*mmHg/mol*K)(318.15 K)

(728 mmHg)V = 10922.7632

V = 15.0 L

Alloys are supposed to give greater strength to metals, which is why gold is mixed with others to make it harder. They have greater strength and are more resistant to erosion.
