Answer:
Empirical CHO
molecular C4H4O4
Explanation:
From the question, we know that it contains 41.39% C , 3.47% H and the rest oxygen. To get the % composition of the oxygen, we simply add the carbon and hydrogen together and subtract from 100%.
This means : O = 100 - 41.39 - 3.47 = 55.14%
Next is to divide the percentage compositions by their atomic masses.
C = 41.39/12 = 3.45
O = 55.14/16 = 3.45
H = 3.47/1 = 3.47
Now we divide by the smallest value which is 3.45. We can deduce that this will definitely give us an answer of 1 all through as the values are very similar.
Hence the empirical formula of Maleic acid is CHO
Now we go on to deduce the molecular formula.
To do this we need the molar mass. I.e the amount in grammes per one mole of the compound.
Now we can see that 0.378mole = 43.8g
Then 1 mole = xg
x = (43.8*1)/0.378 = 115.87 = apprx 116
[CHO]n = 116
(12 + 1 + 16]n = 116
29n = 116
n = 116/29 = 4
The molecular formula is thus C4H4O4
Answer:
Be the anode
Explanation:
The standard hydrogen electrode is regarded as the standard reference electrode and it has been assigned an electrode potential of 0.0V.
If any substance has an electrode potential that is more negative than hydrogen, then that half cell will function as the anode when connected to the standard hydrogen electrode.
Similarly, any substance that has a more positive electrode potential than hydrogen will serve as the cathode when its half cell is connected to the standard hydrogen electrode.
Answer:
C) low activation energy of forward reaction
Explanation:
Activation energy for the forward reaction is the quantity of free energy which is needed for a reaction to move from the reactant phase of energy level to the transition state of energy level. The higher the rate of energy level, the slower the chemical reaction.
Activation energy is a barrier that must be overcome for a reaction to take place.
Answer:
solute and solvent
Explanation:
Because solutes dissolves in solvent to form a solution
