Answer : The molecular formula of benzoyl peroxide is $C_{14}H_{10}O_4$

Explanation :

Empirical formula : It is the simplest form of the chemical formula which depicts the whole number of atoms of each element present in the compound.

Molecular formula : it is the chemical formula which depicts the actual number of atoms of each element present in the compound.

For determining the molecular formula, we need to determine the valency which is multiplied by each element to get the molecular formula.

The equation used to calculate the valency is :

$n=\frac{\text{Molecular mass}}{\text{Empirical mass}}$

As we are given that the molar mass of compound is, 0.242 kg/mol.

Molecular mass = 0.242 kg/mol = 242 g/mol (1 kg = 1000 g)

The empirical mass of $C_7H_5O_2$ = 7(12) + 5(1) + 2(16) = 121 g/eq

$n=\frac{\text{Molecular mass}}{\text{Empirical mass}}$

$n=\frac{242}{121}$

$n=2$

Molecular formula = $(C_7H_5O_2)_n$ = $(C_7H_5O_2)_2$ = $C_{14}H_{10}O_4$

Thus, the molecular formula of benzoyl peroxide is $C_{14}H_{10}O_4$

14. In the lab, an experimenter mixes 75.0 g of water (initially at 30oC) with 83.8 g of a solid metal (initially at 600oC). At

avanturin [10]

Answer:

Tungsten is used for this experiment

Explanation:

This is a Thermal - equilibrium situation. we can use the equation.

Loss of Heat of the Metal = Gain of Heat by the Water

$-Q_{m}=+Q_{w}\\$

Q = mΔT $C_{p}$

Q = heat

m = mass

ΔT = T₂ - T₁

T₂ = final temperature

T₁ = Initial temperature

Cp = Specific heat capacity

<u>Metal</u>

m = 83.8 g

T₂ = 50⁰C

T₁ = 600⁰C

Cp = $x$

<u>Water</u>

m = 75 g

T₂ = 50⁰C

T₁ = 30⁰C

Cp = 4.184 j.g⁻¹.⁰c⁻¹

$-Q_{m}=+Q_{w}\\$

⇒ - 83.8 x $x$ x (50 - 600) = 75 x 4.184 x (50 - 30)

⇒ $x$ = $\frac{6276}{46090} = 0.13$ j.g⁻¹.⁰c⁻¹

We know specific heat capacity of Tungsten = 0.134 j.g⁻¹.⁰c⁻¹

So metal Tungsten used in this experiment

Write a chemical equation for the reaction that occurs in the following cell: Cu|Cu2+(aq)||Ag+(aq)|Ag Express your answer as a b

Alinara [238K]

Answer:

Explanation:

The cell reaction properly written is shown below:

Cu|Cu²⁺ $_{aq}$ || Ag⁺ $_{aq}$ | Ag

From this cell reaction, to get the net ionic equation, we have to split the reaction into their proper oxidation and reduction halves. This way, we can know that is happening at the electrodes and derive the overall net equation.

Oxidation half:

Cu $_{s}$ ⇄ Cu²⁺ $_{aq}$ + 2e⁻

At the anode, oxidation occurs.

Reduction half:

Ag⁺ $_{aq}$ + 2e⁻ ⇄ Ag $_{s}$

At the cathode, reduction occurs.

To derive the overall reaction, we must balance the atoms and charges:

Cu $_{s}$ ⇄ Cu²⁺ $_{aq}$ + 2e⁻

Ag⁺ $_{aq}$ + e⁻ ⇄ Ag $_{s}$

we multiply the second reaction by 2 to balance up:

2Ag⁺ $_{aq}$ + 2e⁻ ⇄ 2Ag $_{s}$

The net reaction equation:

Cu $_{s}$ + 2Ag⁺ $_{aq}$ + 2e⁻⇄ Cu²⁺ $_{aq}$ + 2e⁻ + 2Ag $_{s}$

We then cancel out the electrons from both sides since they appear on both the reactant and product side:

Cu $_{s}$ + 2Ag⁺ $_{aq}$ ⇄ Cu²⁺ $_{aq}$ + 2Ag $_{s}$

Which elements are present in the compound aluminium nitrate?

PSYCHO15rus [73]

Answer:

Aluminum nitrate is a salt composed of aluminum and nitric acid, belonging to a group of reactive chemicals - organic nitrate and nitrite compounds. The nitrate ion is polyatomic, meaning it is composed of two or more ions that are covalently bonded. This ion makes up the conjugate base of nitric acid.
