A compound sample comprises 60.0 g of carbon and 5.05 g of hydrogen.

To find the molar ratio, divide by the molar masses of carbon (12) and hydrogen (1).

For carbon: 60/12=5 and for hydrogen: 5.05/1=5.009

This results in a ratio of C:H=5:5, which simplifies to 1:1.

The overall molar mass is 78.

To determine the molecular formula, divide the molar mass by the sum of the atomic masses of carbon and hydrogen: 78/(12+1)=78/13=6.

Thus, the compound is C6H6.

Step 1: Determine Moles for Each Element:

Moles of C = 60.0 / 12 = 5

Moles of H = 5.05 / 1.008 = 5.009

Step 2: Calculate Mole Ratio:
Divide each mole number by the smallest mole count.

H: C

5.009/5: 5/5

This simplifies to 1: 1
Thus,
Empirical Formula = C₁H₁ or CnHn ------ (1)

Step 3: Determine the Molecular Formula:
Using the formula,
n = Molecular Mass / Empirical Formula Mass

Molecular Mass = 78.12 g/mol

Empirical Formula Mass = 12 + 1 = 13, thus C = 12 & H = 1
Therefore,
n = 78.12 / 13

n = 6

Substituting n in equation 1,

C₆H₆
Result:
The correct molecular formula is C₆H₆.

Find the specific heat of sikver in J/g C if 38.5 cal is required to heat 25.0g of silver from 31.5 C to 58.7 C (1cal=4.184 J)
alisha [2704]

Answer:

The specific heat value for silver is 0.236 J/g-C.

Explanation:

Silver has a mass of 25 grams.

The temperature shifts from 31.5° C to 58.7° C.

The required heat is equivalent to 25 g.

To determine silver's specific heat, the following equation applies:

Q=mc\Delta T

Where c represents the specific heat of silver.

c=\dfrac{Q}{m\Delta T}\\\\c=\dfrac{38.5 \times 4.184}{25(58.7-31.5)}\\\\c=0.236\ J/g-C

Thus, the specific heat of silver is 0.236 J/g-C.

The atomic radius of magnesium is 150 pm. The atomic radius of strontium is 200 pm. What is the atomic radius of calcium
castortr0y [2731]

Answer:

Calcium's atomic radius is roughly 175 pm.

Explanation:

We know that magnesium has an atomic radius of 150 pm.

The atomic radius of strontium measures 200 pm.

Since calcium's position is between magnesium and strontium in group 2 of the periodic table, its atomic radius should be roughly averaged between magnesium's and strontium's atomic radii because atomic radius is not constant.

Thus;

Calcium's atomic radius is approximately calculated as follows;

The average atomic radius is (200 + 150)/2 = 175 pm.

Tems11 [2390]
2NaOH + H₂SO₄ = Na₂SO₄ + 2H₂O

v(H₂SO₄)=0.25 L
c(H₂SO₄)=2.00 mol/L
v(NaOH)=2.00 L

n(H₂SO₄)=c(H₂SO₄)v(H₂SO₄)
n(NaOH)=2n(H₂SO₄)=2c(H₂SO₄)v(H₂SO₄)

c(NaOH)=n(NaOH)/v(NaOH)=2c(H₂SO₄)v(H₂SO₄)/v(NaOH)

c(NaOH)=2*2.00*0.25/2.00=0.5 mol/L

the concentration of the NaOH solution is 0.5 mol/L

A laboratory analysis of an unknown sample yields 74.0% carbon, 7.4% hydrogen, 8.6% nitrogen, and 10.0% oxygen. What is the empi
Tems11 [2390]
Assuming we have a 100g sample, the mass of each element is as follows:
C: 74 g
H: 7.4 g
N: 8.6 g
O: 10 g
Next, we calculate the moles of each by dividing the mass of each element by its molar mass:
C: (74 / 12) = 6.17
H: (7.4 / 1) = 7.4
N: (8.6 / 14) = 0.61
O: (10 / 16) = 0.625
Now, we take the smallest value to determine the ratio:
C: 10
H: 12
N: 1
O: 1
Thus, the empirical formula can be expressed as
C10H12NO
