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

Examine the reaction. NH4OH(aq) →H2O(l) + NH3(g)
shusha [124]

Answer:  A.  1,1,1

Explanation:

The coefficients that will balance the equation; NH4OH(aq) →H2O(l) + NH3(g), is 1, 1, 1, because it proves the total number of atoms of each element on the LHS and RHS of the equation are equal, hence balanced.

LHS          RHS

N = 1            1

H = 5          5

O = 1            1
