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

How much heat will be released when 10.0 g of hydrogen peroxide decomposes according to the following reaction: 2H2O2(l) 2H2O(l)
kramer
C. 28 KJ

AMU of H2O2 = 2(1) + 2(16) = 34 g/mol
10 g / 34 g/mol = 0.294 mol H2O2

0.294 mol / H = 2 mol / 190 KJ
H = 28.9 KJ

calculate the heat required in joules to convert 18.0 grams of water ice at a temperature of -20 c to liquid water at the normal
KIM [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

Heat required to convert ice to ice at 0⁰C

= mass x specific heat x rise in temperature

= 18 x 2.09 x 20

= 752.4 J .

heat required to convert ice at 0⁰C to water at 0⁰C

mass x latent heat of fusion

= 18 x 336

= 6048 J

Heat required to increase the temperature of water to 100⁰C

= 18 x 4.2 x 100

= 7560 J

Total heat required

7560 + 6048 + 752.4

= 14360.4 J
