A compound containing only carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen is analyzed and found to have the exact same percentage of carbon as it
1 answer:
Answer:
Explanation:
Since we aren't told the mass of material we have, let's assume the boss was generous, and precise, and we have 100.00 grams of the mystery compound. We are told only that hydrogen is 5.988% and that the only other two elements are carbon and oxygen, with equal percentages. (100%-5.988%)/2 = 47.006% of each. See the attached table.
We now have the number of grams of each element, so let's convert that into moles of each by dividing the mass by the element's molar mass, The result in the table is
<u>Moles</u>
C 3.91
H 5.99
O 2.94
We need whole numbers for the empirical formula, so round to C4H6O3, the empirical formula. Possibly acetoacetic acid, a metabolite.

Explanation:
Valence electrons of boron = 2
Valence electrons of chlorine = 7
The total number of the valence electrons = 3 + 3(7) = 24
The Lewis structure is drawn in such a way that the octet of each atom in the molecule is complete. So,
The Lewis structure is:
There is no lone pair involved, so, It is of type AB₃.
According to the theory, the atoms will form a geometry in such a way that there is minimum repulsion and maximum stability.
So, it is of triangular shape, with bond angle , 120 ° .
Answer:
Explanation:
= Initial concentration = 1.28 M
= Final concentration =
k = Rate constant = 0.0632 s
t = Time taken
For first order reaction we have the relation
Time taken to reach the required concentration would be .
