Answer:
- <em>Option d. Its empirical formula is CH</em><em>₂</em><em>.</em>
Explanation:
The percent composition of the compound allow you to calculate the empirical formula of the compound but is not enough to calculate either the molar mass or the molecular formula. So, since now you can discard options b. and c.
Telling that it is a hydrocarbon (option e.) is true but very vague compared with finding the empirical formula. So, you can also discard the option e.
The fact that the product has a triple bond cannot be concluded from the percent composition, you should find the molecular formula to assert whether it contains or not a triple bond. So, you could discard option a., which lets you only with choice d.
Let us find the empirical formula to be certain that it is CH₂.
1. <u>First, assume a basis of 100 g of compound</u>:
- H: 14.5% × 100 g = 14.0 g
- C: 85.5% × 100 g = 85.5 g
2. <u>Divide each element by its atomic mass to find number of moles</u>:
- H: 14.0 g / 1.008 g/mol = 14.38 mol
- C: 85.5 g / 12.011 g/mol = 7.12 mol
3. <u>Divide both amounts by the smallest number, to find the mole ratio</u>:
- H: 14.38 mol / 7.12 mol ≈ 2
- C: 7.12 mol / 7.12 mol = 1.
Hence, the ratio is 2:1 and the empirical formula is CH₂.
Answer: 8556 mm, or 855.6 cm (8560 mm to 3 sig figs)
Explanation: Convert mm to cm by dividing by 10 (1cm/10mm)
Find the area of the foil face in cm^2 (30cm*0.2020cm) = 0.606 cm^2
Calculate the volume occupied by 1.40 kg of foil in cm^3. 1.40kg = 1400g
1.400g/(2.7 g/cm^3) = 518.5 cm^3 for 1.40 kg Au
Volume = Area (of the face) * Length
We want Length:
Length = Volume/Area
L = (518.5 cm^3/0.606 cm^2)
L = 855.6 cm (8556 mm) Round to 3 sig figs (856 cm and 8560 mm)
The largest transition metal is copernicium with 112 protons
Answer:
Explanation:
mass of Fe = 55.85 g
Molar mass of Fe = 55.85 g/mol
<u>Moles of Fe = 55.85 / 55.85 = 1</u>
mass of Cl = 106.5 g
Molar mass of Cl = 35.5 g/mol
Moles of Cl = 106.5 / 35.5 = 3
Taking the simplest ratio for Fe and Cl as:
1 : 3
The empirical formula is =
