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

kozerog [31]
Properties of a solution that depend only on the ratio of the number of particles of solute and solvent in the solution are known as colligative properties. For this problem, we use boiling point elevation concept.

ΔT(boiling point)  = (Kb)mi
ΔT(boiling point)  = (0.51 C-kg / mol )(4.0 mol / 2.05 kg ) (2)
ΔT(boiling point)  = 1.99 C

T(boiling point) = 101.99 C

musickatia [10]

The heavily crosslinked polyethylene that has a glass-transition temperature of 0°c to be an <u>thermoset (non-elastomer).</u>

A cross-linked kind of polyethylene has been known as cross-linked polyethylene, sometimes known by the acronyms PEX, XPE, or XLPE. It must be primarily utilized in residential water piping, high tension electrical cable insulation, hydronic radiant heating as well as cooling systems, construction management pipework systems, and infant play mats.

Tanks composed of linear polyethylene as well as XLPE are both constructed using heated resins to produce cured plastic. But because of the variations in how they are produced, the polyethylenes they produce have extremely varied structural strengths. Simply put, cross-linking is just the creation of links between polymer chains.

Therefore, the correct answer will be option (a).
