The empirical formula for this vitamin : C₃H₄O₃
<h3>Further explanation
</h3>
The empirical formula is the smallest comparison of atoms of compound =mole ratio of the components
The principle of determining empirical formula
- Determine the mass ratio of the constituent elements of the compound.
- Determine the mole ratio by dividing the percentage by the atomic mass
Mass of C in CO₂ :(MW C = 12 g/mol, CO₂=44 g/mol)
Mass of H in H₂O :(MW H = 1 g/mol, H₂O = 18 g/mol)
Mass O = Mass sample - (mass C + mass H) :
mol ratio C : H : O =
The electronegativity of nitrogen (N) is 3.0, while the electronegativity of hydrogen (H) is 2.1. As it can be seen that nitrogen (N) is more electronegative than that of hydrogen (H),
So electron pairs are attracted towards nitrogen and thus it carries a partial negative charge and hydrogen carries a partial positive charge. The image of electron distribution is attached as follows.
Thus NH₃ is a polar molecule .
1, When temperature is increased the volume will also increase. this is because the particles will gain kinetic energy and bombard the walls of the container of the gas at a higher frequency, therefore, for the pressure to remain constant as per Charles' law, the volume will have to increase so that the rate of bombardment remains constant. This is explained by the Charles law which states that the volume of a gas is directly proportional to the absolute temperature provided pressure remains constant.
2. When temperature is Decreased the volume will also Decrease. this is because the particles will loose kinetic energy and bombard the walls of the container of the gas less frequently, therefore, for the pressure to remain constant as per Charles' law, the volume will have to reduce so that the rate of bombardment remains constant. This is explained by the Charles law which states that the volume of a gas is directly proportional to the absolute temperature provided pressure remains constant.
3. When temperature is increased the pressure will increase. This is because the gas particles gain kinetic energy and bombard the walls of the container more frequently. this is according to Pressure law which states that for a constant volume of a gas the pressure is directly proportional to absolute temperature
4. When temperature is decreased, pressure will decrease, This is because the gas particles lose kinetic energy and bombard the walls of the container less frequently. this is according to Pressure law which states that for a constant volume of a gas the pressure is directly proportional to absolute temperature
5. When particles are added, pressure will increase. This is because the bombardment per unit area also increases. Boyles law explains this, that at fixed temperature the volume of a gas is inversely proportional to the pressure.
6. When particles are removed, the pressure will decrease. This is because the bombardment per unit area also decreases. Boyle's law explains this, that at fixed temperature the volume of a gas is inversely proportional to the pressure.
