When entering units, use proper abbreviated units with proper capitalization. In this experiment, a series of solutions are prepared by combining multiple components into a single container. One solution prepared contains 5.00 mL of 0.010 molar KI, 10.00 mL of 0.0010 molar Na2S2O3, 15.00 mL of water, 10.00 mL of 0.040 molar KBrO3, and 10.00 mL of 0.10 molar HCl.

Answer: ____x10______unitsarrow_forwardA chemist invents a new combustion analysis instrument that uses less O2(g) which saves money on each analysis. The improvement is that instead of CO2(g) being formed and trapped, CO(g) is formed and trapped. H2O (g) is also formed and trapped when substances that contain hydrogen are analyzed.(a) The chemist places 2.184 g of an unknown compound of carbon and hydrogen in the new analyzer. 4.627 g of CO (g) and 1.795 g of H2O (g) are produced. Find the empirical formula for the compound.(Molar masses (g/mol): CO = 28.0104, H2O = 18.015) (b) Despite the best efforts of the chemist, the molar mass of the compound cannot be determined (using this method).
