The empirical formula of vitamin A : C₂₀H₃₀O

<h3>Further explanation </h3>

The empirical formula is the smallest comparison of atoms of compound =mole ratio of the components

The principle of determining empirical formula

Determine the mass ratio of the constituent elements of the compound.
Determine the mole ratio by dividing the percentage by the atomic mass

mol ratio of C : H : O ⇒

$\tt \dfrac{83.85}{12}\div \dfrac{10.56}{1}\div \dfrac{5.58}{16}\\\\6.9875\div 10.56\div 0.34875\rightarrow divide~by~smallest(0.34875)\\\\20\div 30\div 1$

If you had 2.50 moles of anything, how many of those things would you have?

Wittaler [7]

Answer:

1.51 x 10²⁴ things

Explanation:

According to Avogadro's Constant.

1 mole of any substance, constains 6.02×10²³ particles of that subtance.

From the question,

If we have 2.50 moles of anything,

1 mole of anything ⇒ 6.02×10²³ things

2.50 moles of anything ⇒ y things

solving for y

y = (2.50× 6.02×10²³)/1

y = 15.05×10²³

y = 1.505×10²⁴

y ≈ 1.51×10²⁴

How many significant figures<br> are in this number?<br> 43.55

leva [86]

Answer:

4 significant figures

Explanation:

Significant figures are the units/digits within a number that make the number more accurate and precise.

All digits (except for 0) are always significant. Therefore, all the digits in 43.55 are significant. Since there are 4 digits in the given number, there are 4 significant figures.

Which of the following is a scientific question? O A. How can I make a peach cobbler? O B. What chemicals cause most plants to b

igor_vitrenko [27]

The answer is B. Because think about it, it’s not a scientific fact that brown dogs are better pets, and the best color for your room isn’t it because the answer would be an opinion of someone not a fact. I hope this might help you.

2 NaCL + CaO = CaCL2 + Na2O

Naily [24]

222 grams of calcium chloride is produced.

<h3><u>Explanation</u>:</h3>

The mole concept and the chemical equation are very much closely related with each other. In the chemical reaction, the compounds or elements in both sides are balanced according to the number of atoms of each side of the reaction. So from there we can easily find the amount of reactant reacts to produce desired product.

Here we can see that 2 moles of sodium chloride produces 1 mole of calcium chloride.

So, 4 moles of sodium chloride will produce 2 moles of calcium chloride.

Now, atomic weight of calcium =40.

Atomic weight of chlorine =35.5.

So,the molecular weight of calcium chloride = $40+ 35.5\times2$

=111.

It means, 1 mole of calcium chloride weighs 111 grams.

So 2 moles of calcium chloride weighs $111\times2$ grams = 222 grams.
