Answer:

the empirical (lowest raios) is

C2H4Cl    

Explanation:

A compound is known to consist solely of carbon, hydrogen, and chlorine. Through elemental analysis, it was determined that the compound is composed of 24.27% carbon.

What is the empirical formula of this compound?

the compound has ONLY C, H, and Cl

the % Cl  = 100% - 24.27% -4.03% = 71.7%

in 100 gm, there are 71.7 gm Cl, 24.27 gm C, and 4.03 gm H

the number of moles are Cl=71.7/70.91 =1.01= ~ 1

                                          C = 24.27/12.0 = 2.02 =~ 2

                                           H = 403/1.01 = 3.97 =~   4

so   the empirical (lowest raios) is

C2H4Cl

What are valence electrons and why are they so important in chemistry?
stealth61 [152]

valance electrons that reside in the outermost shell of an atom in the highest energy level. They are important to atoms because the fewer valence electrons that the atom holds, it becomes less stable.

I take honors chemistry I hope this helps.

Oxygen gas generated in an experiment is collected at 25.0°C in a bottle inverted in a trough of water. The total pressure is 1.
Nitella [24]

Answer:

0.007 mol

Explanation:

We can solve this problem using the ideal gas law:

PV = nRT

where P is the total pressure, V is the volume, R the gas constant, T is the temperature and n is the number of moles we are seeking.

Keep in mind that when  we collect a gas over water we have to correct for the vapor pressure of water at  the temperature in the experiment.

Ptotal = PH₂O + PO₂  ⇒ PO₂ = Ptotal - PH₂O

Since R constant has unit of Latm/Kmol we have to convert to the proper unit the volume and temperature.

P H₂O = 23.8 mmHg x 1 atm/760 mmHg =  0.031 atm

V = 1750 mL x 1 L/ 1000 mL = 0.175 L

T = (25 + 273) K = 298 K

PO₂ = 1 atm - 0.031 atm = 0.969 atm

n =  PV/RT = 0.969 atm x  0.1750 L / (0.08205 Latm/Kmol x 298 K)

n = 0.007 mol
