<h2>The answers are CH_3O and HSO_4</h2>

Explanation:

Given -

a) The molecular formula of ethylene glycol -

    C_2H_6O_2

∴ The empirical formula of ethylene glycol will be -

    CH_3O

Given -

b) The molecular formula of per-oxo-disulfuric acid (a compound used in bleaching agents) -

    H_2S_2O_8

∴ The empirical formula of per-oxo-disulfuric acid will be -

    HSO_4

Hence, the answers are CH_3O and HSO_4.

An aqueous solution is listed as being 33.8% solute by mass with a density of 1.15 g/mL, the molar mass of the solute is 145.6 g
vodomira [7]

Answer:

A) 2.69 M

B) 0.059

Explanation:

A) We have:

33.8% solute by mass= 33.8 g solute/100 g solution

molarity = mol solute/ 1 L solution

molarity= \frac{33.8 g solute}{100 g solution} x \frac{1.15 g solution}{1 ml} x \frac{1 mol solute}{145.6 g solute} x \frac{1000 ml}{1 L}

molarity= 2.69 mol solute/L solution = 2.69 M

B) We know that there are 33.8 g of solute in 100 g of solution.

As the total solution is compounded by solute+solvent (in this case, solvent is water), the mass of water is the difference between the mass of the total solution and the mass of solute:

mass of water= 100 g - 33.8 g = 66.2 g

Now, we calculate the number of mol of both solute and water:

mol solute= 33.8 g solute x \frac{1 mol solute}{145.6 g} = 0.232 mol

mol H20= 66.2 g H₂O x \frac{1 mol H2O}{18 g}

Finally, the mol fraction of solute (Xsolute) is calculated as follows:

Xsolute=\frac{mol solute}{total mol}= \frac{mol solute}{mol solute + mol H2O}=\frac{0.232 mol}{0.232 mol + 3.677 mol}

Xsolute= 0.059

What do I mean by Water table in Water cycle
Lina20 [59]

Answer: -

After rain fall occurs, water accumulates .

This water is called ground water. This water slowly flows under the ground through the pore spaces in the soil. The water continues to go under the soil till it reaches a certain point where it can no longer go down.

In this region the water slowly accumulates forming a water reservoir called aquifer. The aquifer is a place under the soil which is saturated with water. The upper surface of this zone of saturation is called the water table.

A catalyst decreases the activation energy of a particular exothermic reaction by 56 kJ/mol, to 35 kJ/mol. Assuming that the mec
-Dominant- [34]

Answer:

Activation energy for the uncatalyzed reverse reaction = 103 kJ/mol

Explanation:

Activation energy decreases from = 56 kj/mol to 35 kj/mol

products = 78 KJ lower in energy than reactants

Activation energy for the uncatalyzed reverse reaction = 103 kJ/mol

attached below are the sketches of approximate energy-level for both catalyzed and uncatalyzed reactions
