algol [13]2 years ago
4 0

Answer:

95.2 - 40.8 = 54.4 g of oxygen

number of moles = mass (g)/ Mr

no. of moles of carbon = 40.8/12 = 3.4

no. of moles of oxygen = 3.4

divide both by smallest value which is 3.4 and you’ll get 1 mole of carbon and 1 mole of oxygen therefore the empirical formula is CO

What is the wavelength of the matter wave associated with an electron (me= 9.1 x 10-31 kg) moving with a speed of 2.5 x 107 m/s?
Novay_Z [31]
Lambda = h\ Mv
lambda = 6.624 x 10^-34 / 9.1 x 10^-31 x 2.5 x 10^7
lambda = 2.9 x 10^-11 is your wavelength
