Unlike solids and liquids, gases can be compressed. How is this physical characteristic of gases beneficial to society?

1 answer:

6 0

Gases have three characteristic properties: (1) they are easy to compress, (2) they expand to fill their containers, and (3) they occupy far more space than the liquids or solids from which they form. An internal combustion engine provides a good example of the ease with which gases can be compressed.

The elemental mass percent composition of ascorbic acid (vitamin C ) is 40.92% C , 4.58% H , and 54.50% O . Determine the empiri

Lady bird [3.3K]

The empirical formula of ascorbic acid is C6H8O6.

<h3>Empirical formula</h3>

To calculate the empirical mass of a compound from the mass percentage of each element, the value of the<u> molar mass </u>of each element is used, which in this case corresponds to:

$MM_C= 12g/mol\\MM_H=1g/mol\\MM_O=16g/mol$

From this, we consider that the compound has 100 grams, so the number of moles of each element will be equal to:

$C = \frac{40.92}{12} = 3.41 \\H = \frac{4.58}{1}=4.58\\ O =\frac{54.50}{16}=3.41$

Now, divide all the values found by the <u>smallest value</u>, to find the amount present in each element:

$C = \frac{3.41}{3.41} = 1\\ H = \frac{4.58}{3.41} = 1.34\\O = \frac{3.41}{3.41} = 1$

As you can see, the value of moles of hydrogen resulted in a decimal number, so it is necessary to multiply all values by a number in common until the three meet as integers:

$C = 1 \times 6 = 6\\H = 1.34 \times 6 = 8\\O = 6 \times 6 = 6$

So, the empirical formula of ascorbic acid is C6H8O6.

27.8 mL solution of 0.797 M HCHO2 with 0.928 M NaOH. What is the pH for the solution at the equivalence point in the titration?

kati45 [8]

Answer:

8.69 is the pH at the equivalence point

Explanation:

Formic acid, HCHO₂, reacts with NaOH as follows:

HCHO₂ + NaOH → NaCHO₂ + H₂O.

At the equivalence point you will have in the reaction just NaCHO₂ and H₂O. The concentration of NaCHO₂ will be:

<em />

<em>Moles: </em>0.0278L * 0.797mol/L = 0.02216moles

To reach the equivalence point it is necessary to add:

0.02216mol * (1L / 0.928mol) = 0.0239L

Total volume in the equivalence point:

0.0278L + 0.0239L = 0.0517L

Concentration: 0.02216moles / 0.0517L = 0.429M

The equilibrium of NaCHO₂, CHO₂⁻, in water is:

CHO₂⁻(aq) + H₂O(l) ⇄ OH⁻(aq) + HCHO₂(aq)

Where Kb, 5.56x10⁻¹¹ is defined as:

5.56x10⁻¹¹ = [OH⁻] [HCHO₂] / [CHO₂⁻]

In the equilibrium, it is produced X OH⁻ and HCHO₂, and as concentration of NaCHO₂ is 0.429M:

5.56x10⁻¹¹ = [X] [X] / [0.429M]

2.383x10⁻¹¹ = X²

4.88x10⁻⁶ = X = [OH⁻]

As pOH = -log [OH⁻]

pOH = 5.31

And pH = 14 - pH

pH = 8.69 is the pH at the equivalence point

Answer this ASAP please!! Question: How many magnesium atoms does magnesium oxide need? (Science) (ONLY ANSWER IF YOU KNOW WHAT

aliina [53]

Answer:

40.3 for the unit that represents the minimum amount of magnesium oxide I beilieve.

Explanation:

Magnesium atoms are heavier than oxygen atoms, so we expect more than 50% of magnesium in the weight composition. Taking just one atom of Mg and one atom of O you will get a mass of 16.0 + 24.3 = 40.3.

Hope this helps! Please tell me if you have any questions :))

Can you use active transport in a sentence

otez555 [7]

Active transport is the moving of molecules across the membrane of the cell against the concentration gradient with the use of ATP.

Low to high concentration. Concentration gradient is the diffusion (movement of molecules from regions of low concentration) from high to low with the gradient. Active transport is from low to high, against the gradient.
