empirical = C3HF2, molecular = C24H8F16

Explanation:

VIEW ON LAPTOP TO AVOID SPACING ERRORS                    

                     carbon                   hydrogen                   fluorine

mass             18.24                       0.51                           16.91

no. of            18.24/12                  0.51/1                         16.91/19

moles            = 1.52                     = 0.51                         = 0.89

ratio             1.52/0.51                  0.51/0.51                    0.89/0.51

                    ≈ 3                           = 1                               ≈ 2

empirical formula = C3HF2

(find number of moles by dividing mass by element's mass number. find ratio by dividing number of moles by overall smallest number of moles, in this case hydrogen)

__________________________________

let the molecular formula be (C3HF2)n

molar mass = 562.0g/mol

*[3(12) + 1 + 2(19)]n = 562.0

n = 562/75

  = 7.49

  ≈ 8

molecular formula = (C3HF2)8

                              = C24H8F16

*substitute C, H, and F with their mass numbers

Usually potassium hydrogen phthalate is kept very pure. But Stu Dent thinks the bottle of potassium hydrogen phthalate has been
Ahat [919]

Answer:

1.784 g

Explanation:

The equation of the reaction is;

NaOH(aq) + KHC8H4O4(aq) --------> KNaC8H4O4(aq) + H2O(l)

Number of moles of NaOH reacted = 17.47/1000 * 0.5000 M

Number of moles of NaOH reacted =8.735 * 10^-3 moles

From the reaction equation;

1 mole of NaOH reacted with 1 mole of KHC8H4O4

Hence, 8.735 * 10^-3 moles of NaOH reacts with 8.735 * 10^-3 moles of KHP.

So,

Mass of KHP reacted = 8.735 * 10^-3 moles * 204.2 g/mol = 1.784 g

An Erlenmeyer flask contains 25.00 mL of 0.10 M HCl. What is the pH of the solution?
max2010maxim [7]
C=0.10 mol/l

pH=-lg[H⁺]

HCl = H⁺ + Cl⁻

pH=-lgc

pH=-lg0.10=1.0

pH=1.0

Use the data set to answer the question.
andrezito [222]

Answer:

It is both accurate and precise.

Explanation:

Precision and accuracy are two different terms used to describe data or measurements. Accuracy refers to how close a set of measurements/experimental values is to an accepted or correct value while Precision refers to how close a series of experimental values are to one another.

In the given set of data in the question below, the Correct Value is 59.2 while the experimental values are as follows;

Trial 1: 58.7

Trial 2: 59.3

Trial 3: 60.0

Trial 4: 58.9

Trial 5: 59.2

Based on comparison, it can be observed that these experimental values are close to the correct value (59.2). Hence, they are said to be ACCURATE. Also, the experimental values are close to one another, hence, they are said to be PRECISE.

Therefore, the data set is both accurate and precise.

What is the oxidation number of chlorine in HClO4?
Elza [17]

CIO4-=-1

CI=4O=-1

O has a 2- oxidation change so

CI+4(-2)=-1

CI+(-8)=-1

CI=-1+8=7

So the oxidation number of chlorine is 7 in this case
