Answer:

CHCl₃

Explanation:

We have the following data:

C = 5.03 g

H = 0.42 g

Cl= 44.5 g

First, we divide each mass by the molar mass (MM) of the chemical element to calculate the moles:

MM(C) = 12 g/mol

moles of C = mass/MM(C) = 5.03 g/(12 g/mol) = 0.42 mol C

MM(H) = 1 g/mol

moles of H = mass/MM(H) = 0.42 g/(1 g/mol) = 0.42 mol H

MM(Cl) = 35.4 g/mol

moles of Cl = mass/MM(Cl) = 44.5 g/(35.4 g/mol) = 1.26 mol Cl

Now, we divide the moles by the smallest number of moles (0.42):

0.42 mol C/0.42 = 1 C

0.42 mol H/0.42 = 1 H

1.26 mol Cl/0.42 = 3 Cl

Thus, the C:H:Cl ratio is 1:1:3.

Therefore, the empirical formula is CHCl₃

hammer [34]
The third answer is the one you want. You have to have an adjustable density. All other things being equal, if the tanks you use for holding just water when filled with water will let the sub sink, because the sub is made of a dense metal like iron or steel.

If on the other hand you fill these tanks with air, the net density will be below one and the sub will rise.

In the reaction fecl2 + 2naoh fe(oh)2(s) + 2nacl, if 6 moles of fecl2 are added to 6 moles of naoh, how many moles of fecl2 woul
pychu [463]
The balanced chemical reaction would be 

<span>fecl2 + 2naoh =  fe(oh)2(s) + 2nacl

Initial amounts of the reactants are given, so, we need to determine which of the reactants is the limiting reactant and use this amount to determine what is asked. However, what is being asked is how many of the FeCl2 is used in the reaction, showing that it is NaOH that is the limiting reactants. Thus, we just use the initial amount of NaOH and relate the substances by the chemical reaction as follows:

6 mol NaOH ( 1 mol FeCl2 / 2 mol NaOH ) = 3 mol FeCl2

Therefore, 3 moles of FeCl2 is used up and 3 moles of FeCl2 is also left after the reaction.</span>

Your apple juice has a molarity of 3.4 M and a volume of 0.895 litres. What does a student have to do to decrease the molarity t
Jlenok [28]

Answer:

4.285 L of water must be added.

Explanation:

Hello there!

In this case, for this dilution-like problems, we need to figure out the final volume of the resulting solution so that we would be able to obtain the correct volume of diluent (water) to be added. In such a way, we can obtain the final volume, V2, as shown below:

M_1V_1=M_2V_2\\\\V_2=\frac{M_1V_1}{M_2}

Thus, by plugging in the initial molarity, initial volume and final molarity (0.587 M) we obtain:

V_2=\frac{3.4M*0.895 L}{0.587M}\\\\V_2=5.18L

It means we need to add:

V_{H_2O} ^{added}=5.18L-0.895L=4.285L

Of diluent water.

Regards!
