Oxalic Acid, a compound found in plants and vegetables such as rhubarb, has a mass percent composition of 26.7% C, 2.24% H, and 71.1% O. Oxalic acid can interfere with respiration and cause kidney or bladder stones. If a large quantity of rhubarb leaves is ingested, the oxalic acid can be toxic. The lethal dose (LD50) in rats for oxalic acid is 375 mg/kg. Rhubarb leaves contain about 0.5% by mass of oxalic acid. (Show your work, using the insert equation tool :) What is the empirical formula of oxalic acid

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

HCO₂

Explanation:

From the information given:

The mass of the elements are:

Carbon C = 26.7 g;     Hydrogen H = 2.24 g     Oxygen O = 71.1 g

To determine the empirical formula;

First thing is to find the numbers of moles of each atom.

For Carbon:

[tex]=26.7 \ g\times \dfrac{1 \ mol }{12.01 \ g} \\ \\ =2.22 \ mol \ of \ Carbon[/tex]

For Hydrogen:

[tex]=2.24 \ g\times \dfrac{1 \ mol }{1.008 \ g} \\ \\ =2.22 \ mol \ of \ Hydrogen[/tex]

For Oxygen:

[tex]=71.1 \ g\times \dfrac{1 \ mol }{1.008 \ g} \\ \\ =4.44 \ mol \ of \ oxygen[/tex]

Now; we use the smallest no of moles to divide the respective moles from above.

For carbon:

[tex]\dfrac{2.22 \ mol \ of \ carbon}{2.22} =1 \ mol \ of \ carbon[/tex]

For Hydrogen:

[tex]\dfrac{2.22 \ mol \ of \ carbon}{2.22} =1 \ mol \ of \ hydrogen[/tex]

For Oxygen:

[tex]\dfrac{4.44 \ mol \ of \ Oxygen}{2.22} =2 \ mol \ of \ oxygen[/tex]

Thus, the empirical formula is HCO₂

A. Calculate the value of [Co2+] in a saturated solution of CoCO3 in distilled water.


B. If 0.10 M of Co2+ is already present in distilled water, calculate the molar solubility of CoCO3(s).


C. Explain why CoCO3 is less soluble in distilled water that already contains Co2+

Answers

Answer:

Attached picture.

Explanation:

(1) Ksp equals the product of [Co 2+][CO3 2-]. CoCO3 is excluded from the equilibrium expression because it is a pure solid. The mole ratio of Co 2+ and CO3 2- is 1:1 so their molar solubilities are the same.

(2) There is an initial concentration of 0.10 M Co 2+ so write that in the "I" row for Co 2+ on the ICE table. When you find the zeros of the quadratic when solving for "s", take the positive value rather than the negative value because concentration cannot be negative.

(3) Extra products will cause the equilibrium to consume products and form reactants. So the reverse reaction will occur faster than the forward reaction. More products mean an increased Q value compared to K, since the numerator of [tex]K = \frac{[products]}{[reactants]}[/tex] increases.

1. What do producers do, and what is another name for them?

Answers

Producers are the foundation of every food web in every ecosystem—they occupy what is called the first tropic level of the food web. The second trophic level consists of primary consumers—the herbivores, or animals that eat plants. At the top level are secondary consumers—the carnivores and omnivores who eat the primary consumers. Ultimately, decomposers break down dead organisms, returning vital nutrients to the soil, and restarting the cycle. Another name for producers is autotrophs, which means “self-nourishers.” There are two kinds of autotrophs. The most common are photoautotrophs—producers that carry out photosynthesis. Trees, grasses, and shrubs are the most important terrestrial photoautotrophs.  In most aquatic ecosystems, including lakes and oceans, algae are the most important photoautotrophs.

Methane and sulfur react to produce carbon disulfide (CS₂), a liquid often used in the production of cellophane.

2CH₄ + S₈ --> 2CS₂ + 4H₂S

Calculate the moles of H₂S produced when 2.25 mol S₈ is used.

Answers

Answer:

9 moles

Explanation:

The balanced chemical equation provided in this question is as follows:

2CH₄ + S₈ → 2CS₂ + 4H₂S

In accordance to the above balanced equation, 1 mole of sulphur (S8) produces 4 moles of hydrogen sulfide (H2S).

Therefore, if 2.25mol of S8 is used, 2.25 × 4 = 9 mol

9 moles of H2S is produced.

How many molecules of H20 are present in 7.30 g of water?

Answers

Answer:

2.44×10²³ molecules

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Mass of H₂O = 7.30 g

Number of molecules of H₂O =?

From Avogadro's hypothesis:

1 mole of H₂O = 6.02×10²³ molecules

1 mole of H₂O = (2×1) + 16

= 2 + 16

= 18 g

Thus,

18 g of H₂O = 6.02×10²³ molecules

Finally, we shall determine the number of molecules present in 7.3 g of H₂O. This can be obtained as follow:

From Avogadro's hypothesis:

18 g of H₂O = 6.02×10²³ molecules

Therefore,

7.3 g of H₂O = 7.3 × 6.02×10²³ / 18

7.3 g of H₂O = 2.44×10²³ molecules

Thus, 7.3 g of H₂O contains 2.44×10²³ molecules

How many moles of aspirin (C9H8O4) are contained in 3.13 g of aspirin?

Answers

Answer:

The correct answer is - 0.0173888 moles.

Explanation:

Aspirin,  C 9 H 8 O 4 , the atomic mass rounded to the nearest whole number, so: c- 12 h- 1 o - 16

now multiply these number by how many of each there are in the formula:

c - 12 x 9 = 108

h - 1 x 8 = 8

0 - 16 x 4 = 64

add these numbers up 108 + 8 + 64 = 180

aspirin has a molar mass of  

180.g mol ^− 1 . This means that one mole of aspirin will have a mass of 180 g .

You're dealing with 3.13 g  of aspirin, which will be equivalent to

3.13 g  /180g

=  0.0173888 moles aspirin

Answers

Answer: 1. Highest osmotic pressure : 1 M [tex]MgCl_2[/tex]

2. Lowest osmotic pressure:  1 M [tex]C_{12}H_{22}O_{11}[/tex]

Explanation:

[tex]\pi=i\times C\times R\times T[/tex]

[tex]\pi[/tex]= osmotic pressure

i = Van'T Hoff factor  

C = concentration  

T = Temperature  

1. For 1M [tex]MgCl_2[/tex]  

, i= 3 as it is a electrolyte and dissociate to give 3 ions.

[tex]MgCl_2\rightarrow Mg^{2+}+2Cl^{-}[/tex]  

2. For 1 M [tex]KCl[/tex]

, i= 2 as it is a electrolyte and dissociate to give 2 ions.

[tex]KCl\rightarrow K^{+}+Cl^{-}[/tex]

3. For  1M [tex]C_{12}H_{22}O_{11}[/tex]

, i= 1 as it is a non electrolyte and do not dissociate.  

Thus as vant hoff factor is highest for [tex]MgCl_2[/tex] thus osmotic pressure is highest for 1 M [tex]MgCl_2[/tex]

And as vant hoff factor is lowest for [tex]C_{12}H_{22}O_{11}[/tex] thus osmotic pressure is lowest for  1 M [tex]C_{12}H_{22}O_{11}[/tex]

The name of the given alkene is 2-methyl-1-propene. The correct option is A.

What are alkenes?

Alkenes are inorganic compounds. They are the series of hydrocarbons, that are formed by carbon-carbon double bonds. To find out alkenes, you have to see that the number of hydrogen atoms is always double the number of carbons.

Propene is an unsaturated compound, which is the second-simplest compound, and it contains a single double bond, and it is a colorless gas and has a texture of petroleum jelly.

CH₃C = CH₂

I

CH₃

Here, the three CH₃ are shown in the diagram, so it will be the methyl because it contains 3 CH₂, and now see the propene means one double bond and four carbon atoms. So it will be the 2-methyl-1-propene.

Thus, the correct option is A. 2-methyl-1-propene.

Explanation:

In an endothermic process, heat is transferred from the surroundings to the system.

What are endothermic and exothermic processes?

An exothermic process is one that gives off heat. This heat is transferred to the surroundings. An endothermic process is one in which heat has to be supplied to the system from the surroundings.

The endothermic process is a term that describes a reaction where the system absorbs the energy from its surrounding in the form of heat. A few examples of the endothermic process are photosynthesis, evaporating liquids, melting ice, etc.

The exothermic reaction is the opposite of an endothermic reaction. It releases energy by light or heat to its surrounding. A few examples are neutralization, burning of a substance, reactions of fuels, etc.

Hence, option A is the correct answer.

What volume (in mL) of concentrated HCl (12 M) is needed to make 1500 mL of a 3.5 M solution?

Answers

Answer:

437.5 mL

Explanation:

Concentration (c) = Moles (n) / Volume of solution (liters)

C = n / V

rearrange the formula to find out how many moles you need in the final solution.

n (moles) = concentration (c)   x   Volume (V)   ( in liters)

Convert your mL into L.  1500mL is 1.5L

n = 3.5 moles/liter  x  1.5 liters  (the liters cancel each other out)

n = 5.25 moles

Now use the same formula to calculate the volume you need to make the final solution based on the concentration of the original.

c = n/V  or   V = n / c

V = 5.25 moles / 12 moles/liter     here the moles cancel out

V = 0.4375 L

convert back to mL

V = 437.5 mL
