Carbon(C):
number of moles= mass/molar mass(Mr)
=65.5/12
=5.5 moles

Hydrogen(H):
number of moles=mass/molar mass (Mr)
=5.5/1
=5.5 moles

Oxygen (O):
number of moles = mass/molar mass (Mr)
=29.0/16
=1.8 moles

EF= lowest number of moles over each of the elements

So,
C= 5.5/1.8 = 3
H= 5.5/1.8 = 3
O= 1.8/1.8 = 1

Therefore Emperical formula= C3H3O

What is the molarity of 53.0 grams of HCl dissolved in 400.0 mL of water
Bond [772]

Answer:

Molarity = 3.625 M

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of HCl = 53.0 g

Volume of water = 400.0 mL (400/1000 = 0.4 L)

Molarity of solution = ?

Solution:

Number of moles of of HCl:

Number of moles = mass/ molar mass

Number of moles = 53 g/ 36.5 g/mol

Number of moles =1.45 mol

Molarity:

Molarity = number of moles of solute / volume of solution in L

Molarity =  1.45 mol / 0.4L

Molarity = 3.625 M

How many formula units are in 5.33 moles of cucl2​
Blizzard [7]

Answer:

32.1 × 10²³ formula units of CuCl₂

Explanation:

Given data:

Number of moles of CuCl₂ = 5.33 mol

Number of formula units  of CuCl₂ = ?

Solution:

The given problem will solve by using Avogadro number.

It is the number of atoms , ions and molecules in one gram atom of element, one gram molecules of compound and one gram ions of a substance.

The number 6.022 × 10²³ is called Avogadro number.

one mole of  any substance contain 6.022 × 10²³ formula units thus,

5.33 moles of CuCl₂ = 5.33 ×6.022 × 10²³ formula units

32.1 × 10²³ formula units of CuCl₂
