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

77julia77 [94]

Answer:

3,29L

Explanation:

3.29L = V2

 

Formula: V1/T1 = V2/T2

--------------------

Given:

V1 = 3.0 L V2 = ?

T1 = 310 K T2 = 340 K

--------------------

Plugin:

(X stands in place of V2 just to make it easier to look at)

[3.0L / 310K = X / 340K]

(3.0L / 310K = 0.01L/K)

0.01L/K = X / 340K

(multiply 340K on both sides, it cancels out on the right)

0.01L/K * 340K = X

(0.01L/K * 340K = 3.29L)

**3.29L = X**

[or]

**3.29L = V2**

Nady [450]

Answer:

0.825 M

Explanation:

The osmotic pressure is a colligative property, that can be calculated using the following expression.

π = M × R × T

where,

π is the osmotic pressure

M is the molarity

R is the ideal gas constant

T is the absolute temperature (24°C + 273 = 297 K)

M = π / R × T = 20.1 atm / (0.08206 atm.L/mol.K) × 297 K = 0.825 M

What can be concluded about the atom from knowing that oxygen 18 has an atomic number of 8?
Vinvika [58]
<span>The atomic number of a neutral atom is equal to the number of protons and the number of electrons of the atom. The atomic weight meanwhile is equal to the sum of the number of protons and number of neutrons.Hence we can say that the number of protons is 8 and the number of neutrons is 10. </span>
