What is the empirical formula for the following molecular formula: C10H5O2

Chemistry
1 answer:
Tju [1.3M]3 years ago
4 0

The empirical formula is the same as the molecular formula : C₁₀H₅O₂

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

Molecular formula : C₁₀H₅O₂

Required

The empirical formula

Solution

The empirical formula (EF) is the smallest comparison of atoms of compound forming elements.  

The molecular formula (MF) is a formula that shows the number of atomic elements that make up a compound.  

(empirical formula) n = molecular formula  

<em>(EF)n=MF </em>

(EF)n = C₁₀H₅O₂

If we divide by the number of moles of Oxygen (the smallest) which is 2 then the moles of Hydrogen will be a decimal number (not whole), which is 2.5, then the empirical formula is the same as the molecular formula

A 4.24 kg marble slab has the volume of 1564 cm3 What is the density in g/cm3
miskamm [114]

Answer:

The answer is

<h2>2.71 g/cm³</h2>

Explanation:

The density of a substance can be found by using the formula

density =  \frac{mass}{volume} \\

From the question

volume of marble = 1564 cm³

1 kg = 1000 g

4.24 kg = 4240 g

mass = 4240 g

The density is

density =  \frac{4240}{1564}   \\  = 2.710997442...

We have the final answer as

<h3>2.71 g/cm³</h3>

Hope this helps you

Any atom is most stable when it’s outermost energy level contains
slamgirl [31]

Explanation:

Atoms are at their most stable when their outermost energy level is either empty of electrons or filled with electrons. Sodium atoms have 11 electrons. Two of these are in the lowest energy level, eight are in the second energy level and then one electron is in the third energy level.

Write down five things that you personally could do in your day-to-day life to help with the problem of climate change. Write do
beks73 [17]
Before that, we need to know what causes climate change. One of the main reasons are the carbon dioxide released into the atmosphere, it traps heat but allow more heat to enter the earth, therefore climate increases over the years.

1. Set air conditioner to a higher temperature (eg. 25°C) or turn on fans instead.
Operating AC can use a lot of energy, and these energy is produced by burning if fossil fuels which releases carbon dioxide.

2. Take public transports instead of cars. The more private cars there are, the more pollutants it release, these pollutants includes carbon dioxide.

3. Turn off all the lights / electrical appliances when we leave a place. Again, electrical appliances require energy which is produced by burning of fossil fuels that gives out carbon dioxide.

4. Recycle and reuse paper that is only used on one side. Papers are extracted from trees and one main function of trees is to absorb carbon dioxide from the air. If many trees are cut, the amount of carbon dioxide in air would increase.

5. Do the laundry only if you have clothes full for the machine. If the washing machine is not full and you're starting it up, it really uses a lot of energy and water, which all again it triggers the release of carbon dioxide.

7. A square chunk of plastic has a length of 5 cm, width of 5 cm and height of 5 cm. It has a mass of 200 g. What is its density
BaLLatris [955]

Answer:

d=1.6\ g/cm^3

Explanation:

Given that,

The dimension of a square chunk of plastic is 5 cm × 5 cm × 5 cm

Mass, m = 200 g

We need to find its density

Density = mass/volume

It will form a cube. It volume = side³

So,

d=\dfrac{200\ g}{5^3\ cm^3}\\\\d=1.6\ g/cm^3

Hence density is 1.6\ g/cm^3
