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 helium balloon is filled on the ground where the atmospheric pressure is 768 torr. The volume of the balloon is 8.00 m3. When
Anvisha [2.4K]

Answer:

The correct option is: <u>B. 366 torr</u>

Explanation:

Given: <u>On the ground</u>- Initial Volume: V₁ = 8.00 m³, Initial Atmospheric Pressure: P₁= 768 torr;

<u>At 4200 m height</u>- Final Volume: V₂ = 16.80 m³, Final Atmospheric Pressure: P₂ = ?

Amount of gas: n, and Temperature: T = constant

<u>According to the Boyle's Law</u>, for a given amount of gas at constant temperature:         P₁ V₁ = P₂ V₂

⇒  P₂ = P₁ V₁ ÷ V₂

⇒  P₂ = [(768 torr) × (8.00 m³)] ÷ (16.80 m³)

⇒  P₂ = 365.71 torr ≈ 366 torr

<u>Therefore, the final air pressure at 4200 m height: P₂ = 366 torr.</u>

True or false. Gas particles never touch each other.
Sati [7]

Answer:

False.  In a gas, particles are in continual straight-line motion. The kinetic energy of the molecule is greater than the attractive force between them, thus they are much farther apart and move freely of each other.

Explanation:

Hope this helps! :)

How does distillation work.
Usimov [2.4K]

Answer:

Distillation is an important commercial process that is used in the purification of a large variety of materials. However, before we begin a discussion of distillation, it would probably be beneficial to define the terms that describe the process and related properties. ... Elevation of the boiling point with an increase in external pressure, while important in cooking and sterilizing food or utensils, is less important in distillation.
