Answer: The molecular formula will be C_6H_6O_6

Explanation:

Mass of CO_2 = 17.95 g

Mass of H_2O= 4.87 g

Molar mass of carbon dioxide = 44 g/mol

Molar mass of water = 18 g/mol

For calculating the mass of carbon:

In 44g of carbon dioxide, 12 g of carbon is contained.

So, in 17.95 g of carbon dioxide, =\frac{12}{44}\times 17.95=4.89g of carbon will be contained.

For calculating the mass of hydrogen:

In 18g of water, 2 g of hydrogen is contained.

So, in 4.87 g of water, =\frac{2}{18}\times 4.87=0.541g of hydrogen will be contained.

Mass of oxygen in the compound = (12.00) - (4.89+0.541) = 6.57 g

Mass of C = 4.89 g

Mass of H =  0.541 g

Mass of O = 6.57 g

Step 1 : convert given masses into moles.

Moles of C =\frac{\text{ given mass of C}}{\text{ molar mass of C}}= \frac{4.89g}{12g/mole}=0.407moles

Moles of H=\frac{\text{ given mass of H}}{\text{ molar mass of H}}= \frac{0.541g}{1g/mole}=0.541moles

Moles of O=\frac{\text{ given mass of O}}{\text{ molar mass of O}}= \frac{6.57g}{16g/mole}=0.410moles

Step 2 : For the mole ratio, divide each value of moles by the smallest number of moles calculated.

For C =\frac{0.407}{0.407}=1

For H =\frac{0.541}{0.407}=1

For O = \frac{0.410}{0.407}=1

The ratio of C : H : O = 1: 1  : 1

Hence the empirical formula is CHO.

Hence the empirical formula is CHO

The empirical weight of CHO = 1(12)+1(1)+1(16)= 29 g.

If 0.25 moles has mass of 44.0 g

Thus 1 mole has mass of = \frac{44.0}{0.25}\times 1=176g

Thus molecular mass is 176 g

Now we have to calculate the molecular formula.

n=\frac{\text{Molecular weight }}{\text{Equivalent weight}}=\frac{176g}{29g}=6

The molecular formula will be=6\times CHO=C_6H_6O_6

he Lewis structure for CO molecule contains Group of answer choices one double bond, one single bond, and twelve nonbonding elec
zimovet [89]

Answer:

One triple bond and four non bonding electrons

Explanation:

In considering the lewis structure of carbon monoxide, we must remember that the molecule contains a total of ten valence electrons. Four are the valence electrons that are present on the valence shell of carbon while six are the valence electrons on oxygen. Some of these valence electrons participate in bonding in the CO molecule.

Out of the six valence electrons on oxygen, two valence electrons participate in bonding with carbon while the other four electrons remain localized on the oxygen atom as two lone pairs of electrons.

Hence there are four nonbonding electrons in the lewis structure of CO as well as one triple bond.

Classify the substances according to the strongest solute-solvent interaction that will occur between the given substances and w
-BARSIC- [3]

Explanation:

Ion-dipole interactions are defined as the interactions that occur when an ion interacts with the dipole of a molecule (polar molecule).

For example, CuCl_{2}, CuSO_{4}, CaCl_{2}, NaCl etc are all the molecules that will show ion-dipole interactions.

Dipole-dipole interactions are defined as the interactions that occur when partial positive charge on an atom is attracted by partial negative charge on another atom.

When a polar molecules produces a dipole on a non-polar molecule through distribution of electrons then it is known as dipole-induced forces.

For example, NH_{3}, CH_{3}OH etc are the molecules which show dipole-dipole interactions.

According to the kinetic-molecular theory, the average kinetic energy of gas
vladimir1956 [14]

Answer:

The average kinetic energy of a gas depends only on its temperature.

Explanation:

The average kinetic energy of particles in a gas can be found using the equation

\displaystyle \text{Average K.E.} = \frac{3}{2}k\cdot T,

where

  • k is the Stefan-Boltzmann constant, and
  • T is the absolute temperature of this gas (the one in degree Kelvins.)

As seen in this equation, the average kinetic energy of particles in a gas depends only on the temperature of the gas. Also, since the question is asking for the average not the total kinetic energy, the number of particles in this gas doesn't matter, either.

State the type of bonding—ionic, covalent, or metallic—you would expect in each:<br> (b) MgCl₂(s);
IceJOKER [234]

MgCl2 is an ionic compound because chemical bonds in the molecule are formed by the transfer of electrons among Mg and Cl atoms.

<h3>What is chemical bond ?</h3>

A chemical bond is a strong bond that can be formed between atoms, ions, or molecules to create chemical compounds. The bond may be created by the sharing of electrons in covalent bonds or by the electrostatic attraction of two oppositely charged ions, as in ionic bonds. Covalent, ionic, and metallic bindings are examples of "strong bonds" or "primary bonds," whereas dipole-dipole interactions, the London dispersion force, and hydrogen bonding are examples of "weak bonds" or "secondary bonds."

The positively charged protons in the nucleus and the negatively charged electrons in its orbit are attracted to one another by the basic electromagnetic force.
