1 answer:
Answer: The empirical formula of vitamin C is
Explanation:
Molecular formula is the chemical formula which depicts the actual number of atoms of each element present in the compound.
Empirical formula is the simplest chemical formula which depicts the whole number of atoms of each element present in the compound.
The molecular formula of Vitamin C is .
The simplest whole number ratio will be 3: 4: 3 , and thus empirical formula will be .

Answer:
The number of moles of KClO₃ reacted was 0,15 mol
Explanation:
For the reaction:
2KClO₃(s) → 2KCl(s) + 2O₂(g)
The only gas product is O₂.
Total pressure is the sum of vapor pressure of water with O₂ gas formed. Thus, pressure of O₂ is:
749mmHg - 23,8mmHg = 725,2mmHg
Using gas law:
PV/RT = n
Where:
P is pressure (725,2mmHg ≡ <em>0,9542atm</em>)
V is volume (<em>5,76L</em>)
R is gas constant (<em>0,082 atmL/molK</em>)
And T is temperature (25°C ≡ <em>298,15K</em>)
Replacing, number of moles of O₂ are <em>0,2248 moles</em>
As 2 moles of KClO₃ react with 3 moles of O₂ the moles of KClO₃ that reacted was:
0,2248 mol O₂× = <em>0,15 mol of KClO₃</em>
