There is an unbalanced force on the book caused by friction.
If there was no friction, the book would continue to slide.

A 2.684-g sample of zinc oxide was reduced by hydrogen gas, resulting in 2. 156 g of pure zinc metal. Determine the empirical fo
Afina-wow [57]

The empirical formula of the initial zinc oxide is ZnO.

<h3>What is Empirical Formula?</h3>

The empirical formula of a compound represents the ratios of elements in a compound but not the actual numbers or arrangement of the atoms.

It is the lowest whole number ratio of the element in the compound.

<h3>How to find out the empirical formula?</h3>
  • Find out the given masses and molar masses of the elements

The molar mass of Zn = 65 gmol⁻¹

Given the mass of Zn = 2.156 g

The molar mass of Oxygen = 16 gmol⁻¹

The mass of Oxygen = Mass of a sample of zinc oxide - the mass of zinc metal

                                   = (2.684 - 2.156) g

                                   = 0.528 g

  • Find the number of moles of the elements in the compound

The number of moles is given by

n = \frac{m}{M}

where m = given mass and

M = Molar mass

Number of moles of Zinc = \frac{2.156}{65} = 0.033 moles

Number of moles of Oxygen =\frac{0.528}{16} = 0.033 moles

  • Find the simplest ratios of the elements in the compound. To find the ratios simply divide the number of moles by the lowest number of moles obtained.

Here, the number of moles is the same for both elements. Hence, the simplest ratio for Zn:O is 1:1.

Therefore, the empirical formula of zinc oxide is ZnO.

Is the specific heat capacity of a substance an intensive or extensive property? Explain.
andre [41]

The specific heat capacity is intensive, and does not depend on the quantity.

We can categorize a property of the compound as either intensive or extensive when defining a particular aspect of it. The extent of a drug or compound is a quality that is influenced by the sample size used. However, the intense property is independent of the quantity (we can say that it is independent on the amount of the sample used). One such example of an intensive property is density.

The specific heat capacity of a substance or a compound describes the amount of heat (in Joules) needed to increase the temperature of one gram of the substance by 1 unit.

The specific heat capacity is independent on the amount of substance used, therefore, it is classified as an intensive property of a substance. The specific heat capacity will not depend on the mass of the given substance and it will be a constant value for each substance.

So the specific heat capacity is intensive, and does not depend on the quantity, but the heat capacity is extensive, so two grams of liquid water have twice the heat capacitance of 1 gram, but the specific heat capacity, the heat capacity per gram, is the same, 4.184 (J/g.K).

What is the molecular formula for C5H7 if its molar mass is 536 g/mol?
hodyreva [135]

Answer:

(C5H7)8

Explanation:

It's empirical formula is given as; C5H7

Molar mass of carbon(C) = 12 g/mol

Molar mass of hydrogen(H) = 1 g/mol

We are told that it's molar mass is 536 g/mol.

To find the molecular formula;

Molecular formula = n × empirical formula

Thus;

n = 536/((12 × 5) + (1 × 7))

n = 8

Thus;

Molecular formula = (C5H7)8

A solution is prepared by dissolving 0.23 mol of chloroacetic acid and 0.27 mol of sodium chloroacetate in water sufficient to y
Sergio [31]

Answer:

c. chloroacetate ion

Explanation:

The chloroacetic acid, ClCH₂CO₂H, is a weak acid with Ka = 1.36x10⁻³. When this weak acid is in solution with its conjugate base, ClCH₂CO₂⁻ (From sodium chloroacetate) a buffer is produced. The addition of a strong acid as the HCl produce the following reaction

HCl + ClCH₂CO₂⁻ → ClCH₂CO₂H + Cl⁻.

Where the acid reacts with the chloroacetate ion to produce more chloroacetic acid

That means, the HCl reacts with the chloroacetate ion present in the buffer solution

Right answer is:

<h3>c. chloroacetate ion</h3>
