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>

If a 125 gms of radioactive element has a half life of 60 min how many half lives will it go through to become 3.90625 gms
Sonja [21]

Answer:

  • 5

Explanation:

Let the number of half lives be x

<u>Solve this equation to find the value of x:</u>

  • 125*(1/2)ˣ = 3.90625
  • (0.5)ˣ = 3.90625 / 125
  • (0.5)ˣ = 0.03125
  • log (0.5)ˣ  = log 0.03125
  • x =  log 0.03125 / log 0.5
  • x = 5

How many moles are in 458 grams of na2so4
shtirl [24]

# moles = mass (g) / Mr (relative atomic mass)

# moles = 458 / ((23*2)+32+(16*4)

# moles= 458 /  142 = 3.2253521126760...

= 3.23 moles
