determing that the compoumd formed is in 100%

therefore, 26.1 +4.3+69.6 = 100%

hence no need of adding O molecule

finding the numbr of moles of each element

no. of moles of C= given mass÷molar mass

=26.1÷12

=2.1 mol

no. of moles of H = given mass÷molar mass

=4.3÷1

=4.3 mol

no of moles of O =given mass÷molar mass

=69.6÷16

=4.3

the simplest whole nber of the element in the unknown compoumd is 1:2:2 of C:H:O

HENCE, the empirical formula is CH2O2

empirical formula mass of CH2O2 IS

=(12)+(2×1)+(16×2)

12+2+32

46 G/MOL

N= molar mass of the compoumd ÷ emporical mass of the compoumd

N= 138÷46

N=3

molecular formula =N×empirical formula

=3 ×CH2O2

C3H6O6 is the molecular formula

(tartonic acid)

hope it helped u!

What is the mass of 1.2 x 1023 atoms of arsenic?

Gre4nikov [31]

Answer:

14.93 g

Explanation:

First we convert 1.2 x 10²³ atoms of arsenic (As) into moles, using Avogadro's number:

1.2 x 10²³ atoms ÷ 6.023x10²³ atoms/mol = 0.199 mol As

Then we can calculate the mass of 0.199 moles of arsenic, using its molar mass:

0.199 mol * 74.92 g/mol = 14.93 g

Thus, 1.2x10²³ atoms of arsenic weigh 14.93 grams.

What is the percent of hydrogen by mass in CH4O? (H:1.00 amu, C: 12.01 amu, O: 16.00 amu)

cricket20 [7]

The mass percent of hydrogen in CH₄O is 12.5%.

<h3>What is the mass percent?</h3>

Mass percent is the mass of the element divided by the mass of the compound or solute.

Step 1: Calculate the mass of the compound.

mCH₄O = 1 mC + 4 mH + 1 mO = 1 (12.01 amu) + 4 (1.00 amu) + 1 (16.00 amu) = 32.01 amu

Step 2: Calculate the mass of hydrogen in the compound.

mH in mCH₄O = 4 mH = 4 (1.00 amu) = 4.00 amu

Step 3: Calculate the mass percent of hydrogen in the compound.

%H = (mH in mCH₄O / mCH₄O) × 100%

%H = 4.00 amu / 32.01 amu × 100% = 12.5%

The mass percent of hydrogen in CH₄O is 12.5%.

What is the molecular formula of the structure below?

taurus [48]

Answer:

C₆H₆

Explanation:

Each border of the figure represents 1 atom of carbon. We have 6 borders = 6 atoms of carbon.

Each atom of carbon form 4 bonds. All the carbons are doing a double bond and a single bond with other carbons. That means are bonded 3 times. The other bond (That is not represented in the figure. See the image) comes from hydrogens. As we have 6 carbons that are bonded each 1 with one hydrogen. There are six hydrogens and the molecular formula is:

This structure is: Benzene
