Answer : The empirical formula of a compound is, H_2O_1

Solution : Given,

Mass of O = 160 g

Mass of H = 20.2 g

Molar mass of O = 16 g/mole

Molar mass of H = 1 g/mole

Step 1 : convert the given masses into moles.

Moles of O = \frac{\text{ given mass of O}}{\text{ molar mass of O}}= \frac{160g}{16g/mole}=10moles

Moles of H = \frac{\text{ given mass of H}}{\text{ molar mass of H}}= \frac{20.2g}{1g/mole}=20.2moles

Step 2 : For the mole ratio, divide each value of the moles by the smallest number of moles calculated.

For O = \frac{10}{10}=1

For H = \frac{20.2}{10}=2.02\approx 2

The ratio of O : H = 1 : 2

The mole ratio of the element is represented by subscripts in empirical formula.

The Empirical formula = H_2O_1

Therefore, the empirical formula of a compound is, H_2O_1

Amount of oxygen in the compound = 160 g
Amount of oxygen in the compound = 20.2 gm
Mole of oxygen in the compound = 160/16
                                                     = 10 moles
Mole of hydrogen in the compound = 20.2/1.01
                                                         = 20 moles
Then
The ratio of oxygen to ration of hydrogen = 1:2
So
The empirical formula of the compound is H2O. I hope the answer has come to your help.

Draw the alcohol that is the product of the reduction of 3-methylpentanal.
natali 33 [55]

Answer: The product from the reduction reaction is

CH3-CH2-CH(CH3)-CH2-CH2OH

IUPAC name; 3- Methylpentan-1-ol

Explanation:

Since oxidation is simply the addition of oxygen to a compound and reduction is likewise the addition of hydrogen to a compound.

Therefore, hydrogen is added onto the carbon atom adjacent to oxygen in 3- methyl pentanal

CH3 CH2 CHCH3 CH2 CHO thereby -CHO( aldehyde functional group) are reduced to CH2OH ( Primary alcohol) which gives;

3-methylpenta-1-ol .

The structure of the product is:

CH3-CH2-CH(CH3)-CH2-CH2OH

They help bring about chemical reactions. This is because enzymes act as catalysts, lowering the activation energy required for a chemical reaction to initiate. It is in this way that they bring about chemical reactions.

You want to sweeten a cup of tea, and you have three types of sugar: sugar cubes (volume: 5ml), granulated sugar (volume: 0.1 ml
sp2606 [1]

Answer:

powdered sugar

Explanation:

The higher is the exposed area of sugar, the faster is the dissolution process. Thus, to choose between the different types of sugar, we have to look at the volume occupied by the sugar.

In sugar cubes, the particles of sugar as compacted in a cube, so the particles inside the cube are not exposed to the solvent (water). So, sugar cubes have the slowest dissolution process. Then, in granulated sugar, the particles have more area exposed, so this type of sugar will dissolve faster than sugar cubes. Finally, powdered sugar is composed of tiny particles with more are exposed, so powdered sugar has the fastest dissolution process.

Therefore, powdered sugar will dissolve the fastest.
