The answer:
all that we search for is the number of mole of HCl and the number of mole of C2H6O
M(HCl) = 5.5g/ mole of HCl , so mole of HCl = 5.5/M(HCl), where M(HCl) is the molar mass.
M(HCl) = 1+ 36.5= 37.5
moles of HCl = 5.5/37.5=0.14
M(C2H6O) = 200g / moles of C2H6O, so moles of C2H6O=200g / M(C2H6O)
M(C2H6O)= 2x12+ 6 + 16=46,
moles of C2H6O=200g / 46 =<span>4.35 </span><span> moles
</span>
the sum of the moles is 0.14 + <span>4.35 </span> = 4.501 moles
finally, <span>The mole fraction of hcl in a solution prepared by dissolving 5.5 g of hcl in 200 g of c2h6o is 0.031
</span>
because it can be found by 0.14 / 4.501= 0.031
Hello!
We use the amount in grams (mass ratio) based on the composition of the elements, see: (in 100 g solution)
C: 83.7% = 83,7 g
H: 16.3% = 16.3 g
Let us use the above mentioned data (in g) and values will be converted to amount of substance (number of moles) by dividing by molecular mass (g / mol) each of the values, lets see:


We note that the values found above are not integers, so let's divide these values by the smallest of them, so that the proportion is not changed, let's see:


Note: So the ratio in the smallest whole numbers of carbon to hydrogen is 3:7, t<span>hus, the minimum or empirical formula found for the compound will be:

I hope this helps. =)
With what are you need help?
Answer:
Spontaneous and random. Decay is called spontaneous because the occur on their own and are unaffected by external factors like temperature, pressure, and many more. Decay is called random because we cannot determine the rate at which it decays but can only determine the probability of the decay.Oct 21, 2015
