Question
Can you please help with these problems. Please do it on paper showing work so I can clearly see it and understand it. Thank you so much.

Transcribed Image Text:Empirical Formula Practice Problems
1) A compound is found to have (by mass) 48.38% carbon, 8.12% hydrogen and the rest
oxygen.
What is its empirical formula?
2) A compound is found to have 46.67% nitrogen, 6.70% hydrogen, 19.98% carbon and
26.65% oxygen. What is its empirical formula?
3) A compound is known to have an empirical formula of CH and a molar mass of 78.11
g/mol. What is its molecular formula?
4) Another compound, also with an empirical formula if CH is found to have a molar
mass of 26.04 g/mol. What is its molecular formula?
5) A compound is found to have 1.121 g nitrogen, 0.161 g hydrogen, 0.480 g carbon and
0.640 g oxygen. What is its empirical formulal (Note that masses are given, NOT
percentages.)
6) A compound containing only carbon, hydrogen and oxygen is found to be 48.38%
carbon and 8.12% hydrogen by mass. What is its empirical formula?

- doug began preparing laboratory surface disinfectant from chlorine bleach. he put on a chemical resistant apron and gloves and then removed the bleach container from the special chemical cabinet. he carefully placed the container on the laboratory benchtop and began to add the chlorine bleach to distilled water. nearby workers began complaining of burning eyes. doug was reprimanded by the supervisor. Explain why.arrow_forwardWhy are ducks waterproof? It’s because they produce copious amounts of oils from their uropygial glands and spread it across their feathers. In this exercise, we’ll be investigating the molecular structure of one of these preen oils to determine how it keeps ducks dry. Q.5 - Preen oil is actually a complicated mixture of many different organic compounds, such as the structure seen previously.. Ornithologists have determined that birds often use preen oil compounds for scent recognition. Below, several different chemicals isolated from preen oil are shown, along with their vapor pressures at room temperature. p-cymene has the highest vapor pressure, meaning it is the most easily evaporated compound of the three listed. Explain why p-cymene has a higher vapor pressure at room temperature compared to the other compounds. Make sure to explain what holds the p-cymene in the sample.

NOTE: This question is related to green chemistry in the industry.arrow_forwardEach sketch below shows three objects with an electric charge. In each case, decide whether there is a net force acting on the object outlined in green. If there is a net force, decide whether it pushes the green-ring object to the left or right. Then select the appropriate button under the sketch. For example, if there is a net force pushing the green-ring object in the first sketch to the left, select the left button under the first sketch. If there is no net force on the green-ring object in the second sketch, select the middle button under the second sketch. And so on. ola -2 +3 -2 -2 I Don't Know Submit 2022 McGraw Hill LLC.
