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

A dry gas at a temperature of 67.5 C and a pressure of 882 torr occupies a volume of 242.2 mL. What will be the volume of the ga
masya89 [10]

Answer:

265 mL is the new volume for the gas

Explanation:

We decompose the Ideal Gases Law in order to find the answer of this question: P . V = n . R . T

We can propose the formula for the 2 situations, where  n remains constant.

R refers to 0.082 L.atm/mol.K which is physic constant.

We convert the temperature to Absolute value:

67.5°C + 273 = 340.5 K

80°C + 273 = 353 K

We convert the volume to L → 242.2 mL . 1 L/1000 mL = 0.2422 L

We convert the pressure values to atm:

882 Torr . 1 atm/ 760 Torr = 1.16 atm

840 Torr . 1atm / 760 Torr = 1.10 atm

P₁. V₁ / T₁ = P₂ . V₂ / T₂     → Let's replace data:

1.16 atm . 0.2422L / 340.5K = 1.10 atm . V₂ / 353 K

(1.16 atm . 0.2422L / 340.5K) . 353K = 1.10 atm . V₂

V₂ = 0.291 L.atm / 1.10 atm → 0.2647 L ≅ 265 mL

The enzyme Y catalyzes the elementary reaction
lions [1.4K]

Answer:

0.7μM = 0.6 μM = 0.5 μM > 0.4 μM > 0.3 μM > 0.2 μM

Explanation:

An enzyme solution is saturated when all the active sites of the enzyme molecule are full.  When an enzyme solution is saturated, the reaction is occurring at the maximum rate.

From the given information, an enzyme concentration of 1.0 μM Y can convert a maximum of 0.5 μM AB to the products A and B per second means that a 1.0 M Y solution is saturated when an AB concentration of 0.5 M or greater is present.

The addition of more substrate to a solution that contains the enzyme required  for its catalysis will generally increase the rate of the reaction. However, if the enzyme is saturated with substrate, the addition of more substrate will have no effect on the rate of reaction.

<em>Therefore the reaction rates at substrate concentrations of 0.7μM, 0.6 μM, and 0.5 μM are equal. But the reaction rate at substrate concentrations of  0.2 μM is lower than at 0.3 μM, 0.3 μM is lower than 0.4 μM and 0.4 μM is lower than 0.5 μM, 0.6 μM and 0.7 μM.</em>

What is the strongest type of intermolecular force between solve and solvent in Cu(s) in Ag(s)?
maks197457 [2]

The strongest intermolecular forces are in ion-ion bonds which happen when a metal bonds to another metal. 2. The next strongest forces are ion-dipole bonds which happen when metals bond to nonmetals. 3.

Why is a Container important to the sustainability of your hydroponic system?
sergij07 [2.7K]
Hydroponics is more than just another way to grow plants–the technology has the potential to change how we engage with food cultivation as a whole! For the first time since humans started tilling the land, modern hydroponics technology frees us from the soil beneath our feet, allowing us to bring food production indoors where we can layer in additional climate and lighting controls. The result is an ability to grow food anytime, anywhere in the world.
