Answer:
C4H8O4
Explanation:
To determine the molecular formula, first, let us obtain the empirical formula. This is illustrated below:
From the question given, we obtained the following information:
C = 45.45%
H = 6.12%
O = 48.44%
Divide the above by their molar mass
C = 45.45/12 = 3.7875
H = 6.12/1 = 6.12
O = 48.44/16 = 3.0275
Divide by the smallest
C = 3.7875/3.0275 = 1
H = 6.12/3.0275 = 2
O = 3.0275/3.0275 = 1
The empirical formula is CH2O
The molecular formula is given by [CH2O]n
[CH2O]n = 132.12
[12 + (2x1) + 16]n = 132.12
30n = 132.12
Divide both side by the coefficient of n i.e 30
n = 132.12/30 = 4
The molecular formula is [CH2O]n = [CH2O]4 = C4H8O4

If large amounts of waste were dumped into the Missouri River, the dissolved oxygen levels would go down significantly and kill many of the organisms in the river.
Answer:
0.125
Explanation:
no of moles = given mass / molar mass
no of moles = 7/
molar mass of calcium oxide = atomic mass of calcium + oxygen
molar mass = 40 + 16
molar mass = 56
no of moles = 7/ 56 = 1/8 = 0.125
