Answer:

C8H20P4F8

Explanation:

Molecular formula is based off a ratio of the molecular formula's molar mass divided by the empirical formula's molar mass.

The molar mass of the empirical formula C2H5PF2 is 98.02g. We find this by adding the molar masses of all elements in the formula, multiplied by their subscripts.

2(12.01) + 5(1.01) + 30.97 + 2(18.99) = 98.02

We then divide the molecular molar mass by the empirical molar mass.

392.16/98.02 = 4

This tells us that the molecular formula has 4 times the mass of the empirical formula. Because mass comes from the elements in the formula, we multiply all the subscripts by 4 to get the molecular formula.

2x4 = 8

5x4 = 20

1x4 = 4

2x4 = 8

So the molecular formula is C8H20P4F8

A metallurgical firm wishes to dispose of 1200 gallons of waste sulfuric acid whose molarity is 1.05 M. Before disposal, it will
Reil [10]

Answer:

The balanced chemical equation for this process:

H_2SO_4(aq)+Ca(OH)_2(s)\rightarrow 2H_2O(l)+CaSO_4(aq)

$194.51 is the cost that the firm will incur from this use of slaked lime.

Explanation:

The balanced chemical equation for this process

H_2SO_4(aq)+Ca(OH)_2(s)\rightarrow 2H_2O(l)+CaSO_4(aq)

Moles of sulfuric acid = n

Volume of sulfuric acid disposed = V = 1200 gallons = 3.785 × 1200 L = 4,542 L

1 gallon = 3.785 Liter

Morality of the sulfuric acid = M = 1.05 m

Molarity(M)=\frac{n}{V(L)}

n=m\times V=1.05 M\times 4,542 L=4,769.1 mol

According to reaction, 1 mol of sulfuric acid reacts with 1 mole of calcium hydroxide.Then 4,769.1 moles of sulfuric acid will recat with ;

\frac{1}{1}\times 4,769.1 mol=4,769.1 mol of calcium hydroxide

Mass of 4,769.1 moles of calcium hydroxide:

4,769.1 mol  74 g/mol = 352,913.4 g

= \frac{352,913.4 }{453.6} pounds =778.03 pounds

(1 pound = 453.6 grams)

Cost of 1 pound of slaked lime  = $0.25

Cost of 778.03 pounds of slaked lime  = $0.25 × 778.03 = $194.51

$194.51 is the cost that the firm will incur from this use of slaked lime.

In which of the following phases of matter do molecules have the lowest amount of energy?
Elden [556K]

Answer:

C. Solid

Explanation:

It's most about the kinetic energy, when molecules have the least amount of room to move around, they have the least amount of energy.

For example if you think about gas and how spread out the molecules are in order to evaporate, there it the highest amount of energy there.
