Answer: The empirical formula of the compound becomes [tex]C_5H_{10}O_2[/tex]
Explanation:
The empirical formula is the chemical formula of the simplest ratio of the number of atoms of each element present in a compound.
Let the mass of the compound be 100 g
Given values:
% of C = 58.8%
% of H = 9.87%
% of O = [100 - 58.8 - 9.87] = 31.33%
Mass of C = 58.8 g
Mass of H = 9.87 g
Mass of O = 31.33 g
The number of moles is defined as the ratio of the mass of a substance to its molar mass. The equation used is:
[tex]\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}[/tex] ......(1)
To formulate the empirical formula, we need to follow some steps:
Step 1: Converting the given masses into moles.Molar mass of C = 12 g/mol
Molar mass of H = 1 g/mol
Molar mass of O = 16 g/mol
Putting values in equation 1, we get:
[tex]\text{Moles of C}=\frac{58.8g}{12g/mol}=4.9 mol[/tex]
[tex]\text{Moles of H}=\frac{9.87g}{1g/mol}=9.87 mol[/tex]
[tex]\text{Moles of O}=\frac{31.33g}{16g/mol}=1.96mol[/tex]
Step 2: Calculating the mole ratio of the given elements.Calculating the mole fraction of each element by dividing the calculated moles by the least calculated number of moles that is 1.96 moles
[tex]\text{Mole fraction of C}=\frac{4.9}{1.96}=2.5[/tex]
[tex]\text{Mole fraction of H}=\frac{9.87}{1.96}=5.03\approx 5[/tex]
[tex]\text{Mole fraction of O}=\frac{1.96}{1.96}=1[/tex]
Converting the mole fraction into whole numbers by multiplying them with 2.
[tex]\text{Mole fraction of C}=2.5\times 2=5[/tex]
[tex]\text{Mole fraction of H}=5\times 2=10[/tex]
[tex]\text{Mole fraction of O}=1\times 2=2[/tex]
Step 3: Taking the mole ratio as their subscripts.The ratio of C : H : O = 5 : 10 : 2
Hence, the empirical formula of the compound becomes [tex]C_5H_{10}O_2[/tex]
The empirical formula of the substance is[tex]C_5H_{10}O_2[/tex].

Given:
A compound made up of 58.8% of carbon, 9.87% hydrogen, and oxygen.
To find:
The empirical formula of this substance.
Solution
The percentage of carbon in a given substance by mass = 58.8%
The percentage of hydrogen in a given substance by mass = 9.87%
The percentage of oxygen in a given substance by mass :
[tex]= 100\%-58.8\%- 9.87\%=31.33\%[/tex]
Consider 100 grams of a substance.
In 100 grams of substance:
The mass of carbon =58.8% of 100 g = 58.8 g
The mass of hydrogen = 9.87% of 100 g = 9.87 g
The mass of oxygen = 31.33% of 100 g= 31.33 g
The moles of carbon [tex]=\frac{58.8 g}{12.0107 g/mol}=4.90 mol[/tex]
The moles of hydrogen[tex]=\frac{9.87g}{1.00784g/mol}=9.79 mol[/tex]
The moles of oxygen[tex]=\frac{31.33g}{15.999g/mol}=1.96 mol[/tex]
let the empirical formula of the substance = [tex]C_xH_yO_z[/tex]
The value of subscript x:
[tex]=\frac{4.90 mol}{1.96 mol}=2.5[/tex]
The value of subscript y:

What is the first step in the curved arrow mechanism for the chlorination of benzene in the presence of FeCl3
Answer:
See explanation
Explanation:
The chlorination of benzene occurs in the presence of a Lewis acid. A Lewis acid is a compound that can accept a lone pair of electrons.
The first step in the chlorination of benzene is the formation of the ion Cl^+ which attacks the benzene ring.
This ion is formed when the Cl2 molecule undergoes heterolytic fission assisted by FeCl3 to yield FeCl4^- and Cl^+.
The Cl^+ electrophile now attacks the benzene ring to yield chlorobenzene.

Calculate the number of moles of excess reagent left over.(2) c. Calculate the number of molecules of H2O formed.(1) d. Calculate volume of CO2 gas produced at 270C and 760mm Hg pressure.(2) e. Write significance of limiting reagent
Answer:
See explanation
Explanation:
Equation of the reaction;
Na2CO3(aq) + 2HCl(aq) -------> 2NaCl(aq) + H2O(l) + CO2(g)
Number of moles of Na2CO3 = 21.2g/106g/mol = 0.2 moles Na2CO3
Number of moles of HCl = 21.9g/36.5g/mol = 0.6 moles of HCl
1 mole of Na2CO3 reacts with 2 moles of HCl
0.2 moles of Na2CO3 reacts with 0.2 × 2/1 = 0.4 moles of HCl
Hence Na2CO3 is the limiting reactant
Since there is 0.6 moles of HCl present, the number of moles of excess reagent=
0.6 moles - 0.4 moles = 0.2 moles of HCl
1 mole of Na2CO3 forms 1 mole of water
0.2 moles of Na2CO3 forms 0.2 moles of water
Number of molecules of water formed = 0.2 moles × 6.02 × 10^23 = 1.2 × 10^23 molecules of water
1 mole of Na2CO3 yields 1 mole of CO2
0.2 moles of Na2CO3 yields 0.2 moles of CO2
1 mole of CO2 occupies 22.4 L
0.2 moles of CO2 occupies 0.2 × 22.4 = 4.48 L at STP
Hence;
V1=4.48 L
T1 = 273 K
P1= 760 mmHg
T2 = 27°C + 273 = 300 K
P2 = 760 mmHg
V2 =
P1V1/T1 = P2V2/T2
P1V1T2 = P2V2T1
V2 = P1V1T2/P2T1
V2 = 760 × 4.48 × 300/760 × 273
V2= 4.9 L
The limiting reactant is the reactant that determines the amount of product formed in a reaction. When the limiting reactant is exhausted, the reaction stops.

a sample of copper was heated at 275.1 C and placed into 272 g of water at 21.0 C. The temperature of the water rose at 29.7 C. How many grams of copper were in the sample
Answer:
104.8 g
Explanation:
From the question given above, the following data were obtained:
Initial temperature of copper (T꜀) = 275.1 °C
Mass of water (Mᵥᵥ) = 272 g
Initial temperature of water (Tᵥᵥ) = 21 °C
Equilibrium temperature (Tₑ) = 29.7 °C
Mass of copper (M꜀) =?
NOTE:
Specific heat capacity of copper (C꜀) = 0.385 J/gºC
Specific heat capacity of water (Cᵥᵥ) = 4.184 J/gºC
Finally, we shall determine the mass of the copper in the sample. This can be obtained as follow:
Heat loss by copper = Heat gained by water
M꜀C꜀(T꜀ – Tₑ) = MᵥᵥCᵥᵥ(Tₑ – Tᵥᵥ)
M꜀ × 0.385 (275.1 – 29.7) = 272 × 4.184(29.7 – 21)
M꜀ × 0.385 × 245.4 = 1138.048 × 8.7
M꜀ × 94.479 = 9901.0176
Divide both side by 94.479
M꜀ = 9901.0176 / 94.479
M꜀ = 104.8 g
Thus, the mass of the copper in the sample is 104.8 g

Identify the options below that are results of adding a catalyst to a chemical system.
The reaction rates are increased.
The reaction quotient is unaffected.
The reaction quotient decreases.
The equilibrium constant is unaffected.
Answer:
The correct options are a, b and d
Explanation:
A catalyst is a substance that increases the rate of a chemical reaction by reducing the activation energy. Le Catelier's principle explains how a substance or an "action" can affect a reaction in equilibrium.
The principle states that when a change is made to the conditions of a reacting system at equilibrium, the position of the equilibrium moves to counteract the change made. These changes are change in temperature, pressure, volume and/or concentration. These changes will either cause the equilibrium to shift forward or backward.
However, the presence of a catalyst DOES NOT affect a chemical equilibrium/equilibrium constant nor does it affect the reaction quotient because the same amount of reactants and products are available just as in uncatalyzed reaction except that the reaction proceeds faster (which does not affect equilibrium).
The rate of reaction is given as the time required by the reactant to convert into the product. The addition of catalyst increases the rate of reaction, while the reaction quotient and the equilibrium remain unaffected.
What is a catalyst?A catalyst is a chemical or compound that adds to the reaction and lowers the activation energy by providing an alternative path to the reaction.
The catalyst takes part in the reaction but did not consume in the chemical reaction.
The equilibrium and the reaction quotient are dependent on the conversion of the reactant to the product. The catalyst is not used in the reaction and thus did not affect the reaction quotient or the equilibrium.
Hence, options A, B, and D are correct for the use of catalysts in the chemical reaction.

Answer:
The initial temperature of the brass sample is 90.1°C
Note: The question is incomplete. A similar but complete question is given below :
A 52.9g sample of brass, which has a specific heat capacity of 0.375·J·g−1°C−1, is put into a calorimeter (see sketch at right) that contains 100.0g of water. The temperature of the water starts off at 15.0°C. When the temperature of the water stops changing it's 18.4°C. The pressure remains constant at 1 atm. Calculate the initial temperature of the brass sample. Be sure your answer is rounded to 2 significant digits.
Explanation:
Assuming that the calorimeter is an isolated system and that no heat is lost from the calorimeter. The total heat in the system is the sum of the heat content of the brass and that of water
Total heat lost by the brass = heat gained by the water
The quantity of heat lost or gained, Q = mcΔT
Where m = mass of the substance, c = specific heat capacity of substance, ΔT = temperature change
Heat gained by water is positive while heat lost by brass is negative
mass of brass = 52.9 g, specific heat capacity of brass = 0.375·J·g−1°C−1, ΔT = (18.4 - t °C; where t is the initial temperature), mass of water = 100.0 g, specific heat capacity of water = 4.186 J/g°C, ΔT = = 18.4 - 15.0 = 3.4 °C
Heat lost by brass z= - [ 52.9 × 0.375 × (18.4 - t)] = -365.01 + 19.8375t
Heat gained by water = 100 × 4.186 × 3.4 = 1423.24
Equating heat lost by brass to heat gained by water
-365.01 + 19.8375t = 1423.24
19.8375t = 1423.24 + 365.01
19.8375t = 1788.25
t = 90.1° C
Therefore, the initial temperature of the brass sample is 90.1°C

Calculate the molarity of a solution of glycerol made by dissolving 50.000 mL glycerol at 15 0C in enough water to make 250.00 mL of solution. Show work.
Answer:
2.75M
Explanation:
Density = mass/volume
Density of glycerol (C3H8O3) at 15°C is given as 1.2656 g/mL.
Volume of glycerol at this same temperature before dissolving in water = 50mL
Hence, using Density = mass/volume
1.2656 = mass/50
mass = 1.2656g/mL × 50mL
mass = 63.28g
Molarity of solution = number of moles (n) ÷ volume (V)
Volume of glycerol dissolved in water = 250mL = 0.250L
number of moles = mass/molar mass
Molar mass of C3H8O3 = 12(3) + 1(8) + 16(3)
= 36 + 8 + 48
= 44 + 48
= 92g/mol
n = 63.28g ÷ 92g/mol
n = 0.688mol
* Molarity = n/V
Molarity = 0.688/0.250
Molarity = 2.75M
4. What is the percent yield of a reaction that produces 12.5 g CF2Cl2 from 32.9 g of CCl4 and excess HF
Answer:
Percent yield = 48.3%
Explanation:
The reaction is:
CCl₄ + 2HF → CF₂Cl₂ + 2HCl
1 mol of CCl₄ reacts with 2 moles of hydrofluoric acid in order to produce 1 mol of CF₂Cl₂ and 2 moles of hydrogen chloride.
HF is in excess, so the limiting reagent is the CCl₄.
We convert mass to moles:
32.9 g . 1mol / 153.8g = 0.214 moles
Ratio is 1:1. In conclussion: 0.0813 moles of CCl₄ can produce 0.0813 moles of CF₂Cl₂. We convert moles to mass, to determine the theoretical yield:
0.214 mol . 120.91g /mol = 25.8 g
Percent yield = (Yield produced /Theoretical yield) . 100
Percent yield = (12.5 g/ 25.8g) . 100 = 48.3%
Consider the following reaction at equilibrium. What effect will decreasing the temperature have on the system? DH=+890kJCO2(g)+2H2O(l)<--> CH4(g)+2O2(g)a) the equilibrium constant will increaseb) the reaction will shift to the left in the direction of the reactantsc) the reaction will shift to the right in the direction of the productsd) no effect will be observed
Answer:
Option B. The reaction will shift to the left in the direction of the reactants.
Explanation:
The equation for the reaction is given below:
CO₂ + 2H₂O <=> CH₄ + O₂
Enthalpy change (ΔH) = +890 KJ
The reaction illustrated by the equation is endothermic reaction since the enthalpy change (ΔH) is positive.
Increasing the temperature of an endothermic reaction will shift the equilibrium position to the right and decrease the temperature will shift the equilibrium position to the left.
Therefore, decreasing the temperature of the system illustrated by the equation above, will shift the reaction to the left in the direction of the reactants.
Thus, option B gives the right answer to the question.

There are a lot of tables of electronegativity that can be used here, we can find that:
element: electronegativity:
N 3.04
B 2.04
P 2.19
Al 1.61
So, the order from least to greatest is:
Al, B, P, N

A reaction produces 3.0 mol of gas, which occupies 1.46 L. What is the volume of the product when 4.1 mol are produced at constant temperature and pressure?
Answer:
1.99 L
Explanation:
Given that,
A reaction produces 3.0 mol of gas, which occupies 1.46 L.
We need to find the volume of the product when 4.1 mol are produced at constant temperature and pressure.
We know that,
PV = nRT
i.e.
[tex]V\propto n\\\\\dfrac{V_1}{V_2}=\dfrac{n_1}{n_2}\\\\V_2=\dfrac{V_1n_2}{n_1}\\\\V_2=\dfrac{1.46\times 4.1}{3}\\\\V_2=1.99\ L[/tex]
So, the new volume is 1.99 L.
Water has a density of 1.00 g/mL. If you put an object that has a density of 0.79 g/mL into water, it will sink to the
bottom.
ANSWER:
True
False
Answer:
False
Explanation:
An object with a density greater than 1.00g/mL (greater than the density of water) will sink. An object with a density less than the density of water, will float.
If the water has a density of 1.00 g/mL. If you put an object that has a density of 0.79 g/mL into water, it will sink to the bottom, this statement is false.
What is density?The density of an actual content is its mass per unit volume. The most common symbol for density is d, but the Latin letter D can also be used.
Three of an object's most fundamental properties are mass, volume, and density. Mass describes how heavy something is, volume describes its size, and density is defined as mass divided by volume.
The density of something is a measure of how heavy it is in relation to its size. When an artifact is more dense than water, it plunges; when an object is less dense than water, it floats.
Density is a property of a substance that is independent of the amount of substance.
As in the given scenario, water is having density 1 g/mL and object in having density less then it so it will float on water.
Thus, the given statement is false as the material will not sink, rather it will float on water.
