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

miss Akunina [59]

Answer:

Hope this helps

Explanation:

A generalization I can make about the Huang River is that the Huang River is the most important river in China. Also called the Yellow River, it is where historians believe ancient Chinese people settle in to develop its civilization on the banks of the river for the many benefits it had for life and agriculture. However, early Chinese people had to learn how to control the floods of the river in order to survive ad prosper.

If 12.4 mol of Ne gas occupies 122.8 L, how many mol of Ne would occupy 339.2 L under the same temperature and pressure? Record
8090 [49]

Answer:

3.43×10¹ mol

Explanation:

Given data:

Initial number of  moles = 12.4 mol

Initial volume = 122.8 L

Final number of moles = ?

Final volume = 339.2 L

Solution:

The number of moles and volume are directly proportional to each other at same temperature and pressure.

V₁/n₁  =  V₂/n₂

122.8 L/ 12.4 mol  =  339.2 L / n₂

n₂ = 339.2 L× 12.4 mol  / 122.8 L

n₂ = 4206.08 L.mol /122.8 L

n₂ = 34.3mol

In scientific notation:

3.43×10¹ mol

3.0 x 108 m/s is the
Veseljchak [2.6K]

Answer:

Speed of light

Explanation:

The value 3.0 x 10⁸m/s is taken as the speed of light.

It is a constant.

  • It implies that light travels a distance of 3 x 10⁸ in just one second.
  • This value is for the speed of light in a vacuum when there are not particles obstructing its movement.
  • The speed of electromagnetic radiations in free space is also taken as the speed of light.
