Answer: See below

Explanation:

n of CO2​ = 0.364mmol

Mass of C = 0.364*12 = 4.368 mg

n of H2​O = 184.37​ = 0.243 mol

The compound has 2*0.243mmol of H

Mass of H = 0.486 mg

Mass of O = 10.68 − (4.368+0.486) = 5.826mg

Moles of O = 0.364

<u>C:H:O Ratios</u>

0.364 : 0.486 : 0.364

= 1 : 1.34 : 1

= 3 : 4 : 3

<u>So the empirical formula is C3​H4​O3​,</u>

Empirical formula mass

= 88= 2 × Molar mass

<u>And the molecular formula is C6​H8​O6</u>

The molecule carbon disulfide CS2 is nonpolar and has only london dispersion forces between the molecules.Carbon tetrachloride C
SSSSS [86.1K]

Answer:- Melting point of [tex[CCl_4[/tex] is higher than CS_2 where as the vapor pressure of CS_2[/tex[ is higher than [tex]CCl_4 .

Explanations:- Since both the molecules are non polar, the forces of attraction for carbon tetrachloride are comparatively stronger as it's a bigger molecule. We know that, stronger are the forces of attraction, higher is the melting point as more heat is required to break the bonds.

Stronger are the forces of attraction, lower is the vapor pressure as the molecules are more tightly bonded and less molecules goes to the gas phase.

So, melting point of carbon tetrachloride is higher but it's vapor pressure is lower as compared to carbon disulfide.

What is units we used for measuring the radon gas?
lisabon 2012 [21]

Answer:

Bq/m3 (becquerels per cubic meter) or pCi/l (picocuries per litre)

Explanation:

The unit of the International System of Units identified to measure radioactive activity is Becquerelio (Bq) and equivalent to one decay per second.

The Curio (Ci) is also a radioactivity unit, which is still being used in some countries. It owes its name to chemists and chemists Pierre and Marie Curie.

It represents the amount of material in which 3.7 × 1010 atoms per second, or 3.7 × 1010 nuclear decays per second, which is roughly the activity of 1 g of 226Ra (isotope of the chemical chemical element).

The equivalence between the two is:

1Ci= 3,7 × 1010Bq

The specific radioactive activity of a radioactive gas such as radon gas is measured per unit volume and measured in Bq/m3 or pCi/l.

In this case the equivalence is:

1pCi/l= 37Bq/m3

Name the following base: NaOH
soldier1979 [14.2K]

Answer:

Arrhenius Base

Explanation:

"NaOH is an Arrhenius base because it dissociates in water to give the hydroxide (OH-) and sodium (Na+) ions. An Arrhenius acid is therefore any substance that ionizes when it dissolves in water to give the H+, or hydrogen, ion. ... Acids provide the H+ ion; bases provide the OH- ion; and these ions combine to form water."
