Answer:

B) C3H3O and C6H6O2

Explanation:

Given data:

Molar mass of compound = 100 g/mol

Percentage of hydrogen = 5.45%

Percentage of carbon = 65.45%

Percentage of oxygen = 29.09%

Empirical formula = ?

Molecular formula = ?

Solution:

Number of gram atoms of H = 5.45 / 1.01 = 5.4

Number of gram atoms of O = 29.09/ 16 = 1.8

Number of gram atoms of C = 65.45 / 12 = 5.5

Atomic ratio:

            C                      :      H            :         O

           5.5/1.8              :     5.4/1.8     :        1.8/1.8

            3                      :        3          :        1

C : H : O = 3 : 3 : 1

Empirical formula is C₃H₃O.

Molecular formula:

Molecular formula = n (empirical formula)

n = molar mass of compound / empirical formula mass

Empirical formula mass = 12×3 + 1.01 ×3 + 16×1 = 55.03  

n = 100 / 5503

n = 2

Molecular formula = n (empirical formula)

Molecular formula = 2 (C₃H₃O)

Molecular formula = C₆H₆O₂

weeeeeb [17]

Answer:

A. The conditions are:

I. Reactant particles must collide with the right orientation.

II. There must be effective collisions.

III. The reactant particles must possess enough energy to break old bonds so that new bonds can be formed.

B. The activated complex occurs where the maximum energy of the reaction is attained along the reaction pathway, that is, at the peak of the activation energy.

Calculate the mass of each element in the
Lelechka [254]

Answer:

For Mass N, Mass H, and Mass O, the mass is 28.0 g N, 4.0 g H, and 48.0 g respectively

Explanation:

The computation of the mass of each element is given below:

As we know that

A1 mole of ammonium nitrate i.e. 2 mol N, 4 mol H, 3 mol

Now we multiply each of above  by the molar masses

For N

= 14.0 g/mol × 2

= 28.0 gN

For H

= 1.0 g/mol × 4

= 4.0 gN

ANd, for O

= 16.0 g/mol × 3

= 48.0 gN

Hence, For Mass N, Mass H, and Mass O, the mass is 28.0 g N, 4.0 g H, and 48.0 g respectively

bekas [8.4K]

Answer:

The HNO3 solution has a concentration of 0.07 M

Explanation:

<u>Step 1:</u> find a balanced equation

HNO3 (aq) + NaOH (aq) → NaNO3 (aq) + H2O (l)

⇒ for 1 mole of HNO3 reacted, there will also react 1 mole of NaOH, and be produced 1 mole of NaNO3 and 1 mole of H2O, since the ratio is 1:1

<u>Step 2:</u> Calculating moles

Since we know that for 1 mole of HNO3 there will react 1 mole of NaOH, we can calculate the number of moleNaOH

⇒ Concentration = mole / volume

⇒ 0.210 = mole / ((20 + 7.23 ml) *10^-3)

mole = 0.005733 mole NaOH  = 0.005733 mole HNO3

<u>Step 3:</u> Calculating the concentration of HNO3

Concentration = mole / volume

C(HNO3) = 0.005733 mole / ((50 + 30 ml) *10^-3)

C(HNO3) = 0.07 M

The HNO3 solution has a concentration of 0.07 M

To control this we can calculate through the following formule:

0.02723L x 0.21 M x ( 1mol HNO3 / 1 mol NaOH) x (1/ 0.08L) = 0.07M

A reaction will most likely occur if the colliding particles have the proper
fenix001 [56]
Answer: a rection will most likely occur if the colliding partilces have the proper orientation and energy.


The reactions occur becasue the molecules collide.


But not all the collisions result in a reaction.


The collisions have to meet some requirements.


Two of the basic requirements is that the collision has enough energy to overcome the activation energy and that the molecules collide in the riight way.


When two molecules react it is necessary that one element of one of the molecules interact when a specific element or group in the other molecule. That is the orientation must be the right one.


Collisions that to not have the proper orientation or enough energy will not cause reaction (changes in the bonds of the molecules).
