The characteristic odor of pineapple is due to ethyl butyrate, a compound containing carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. Combustion of

gavmur [86]

Answer: The empirical formula for the given compound is $C_3H_6O$

Explanation:

The chemical equation for the combustion of hydrocarbon having carbon, hydrogen and oxygen follows:

$C_xH_yO_z+O_2\rightarrow CO_2+H_2O$

where, 'x', 'y' and 'z' are the subscripts of Carbon, hydrogen and oxygen respectively.

We are given:

Conversion factor: 1 g = 1000 mg

Mass of $CO_2=6.32mg=0.00632g$

Mass of $H_2O=2.58g=0.00258g$

Mass of compound = 2.78 mg = 0.00278 g

We know that:

Molar mass of carbon dioxide = 44 g/mol

Molar mass of water = 18 g/mol

For calculating the mass of carbon:

In 44g of carbon dioxide, 12 g of carbon is contained.

So, in 0.00632 g of carbon dioxide, $\frac{12}{44}\times 0.00632=0.00172g$ of carbon will be contained.

For calculating the mass of hydrogen:

In 18g of water, 2 g of hydrogen is contained.

So, in 0.00258 g of water, $\frac{2}{18}\times 0.00258=0.000286g$ of hydrogen will be contained.

Mass of oxygen in the compound = (0.00278) - (0.00172 + 0.000286) = 0.000774 g

To formulate the empirical formula, we need to follow some steps:

Step 1: Converting the given masses into moles.

Moles of Carbon = $\frac{\text{Given mass of Carbon}}{\text{Molar mass of Carbon}}=\frac{0.00172g}{12g/mole}=1.43\times 10^{-4}moles$

Moles of Hydrogen = $\frac{\text{Given mass of Hydrogen}}{\text{Molar mass of Hydrogen}}=\frac{0.000286g}{1g/mole}=2.86\times 10^{-4}moles$

Moles of Oxygen = $\frac{\text{Given mass of oxygen}}{\text{Molar mass of oxygen}}=\frac{0.000774g}{16g/mole}=4.83\times 10^{-5}moles$

Step 2: Calculating the mole ratio of the given elements.

For the mole ratio, we divide each value of the moles by the smallest number of moles calculated which is $4.83\times 10^{-5}mol$

For Carbon = $\frac{1.43\times 10^{-4}}{4.83\times 10^{-5}}=2.96\approx 3$

For Hydrogen = $\frac{2.86\times 10^{-4}}{4.83\times 10^{-5}}=5.92\approx 6$

For Oxygen = $\frac{4.83\times 10^{-5}}{4.83\times 10^{-5}}=1$

Step 3: Taking the mole ratio as their subscripts.

The ratio of C : H : O = 3 : 6 : 1

Hence, the empirical formula for the given compound is $C_3H_{6}O_1=C_3H_6O$

N2-3H2 → 2NH3

aniked [119]

Answer:

6 mols H2 are needed

Explanation:

N2 = 28.01g/mol

H2 = 2.02g/mol

$\frac{2 mol N_{2} }{1}$ * $\frac{3 mol H_{2} }{ 1 mol N_{2} }$ = 6 mol H2

If you start with 1.000 gram sample of the isotope how much time would pass before you have just 0.100 grams of the isotope left

Vadim26 [7]

Answer:

So, you're dealing with a sample of cobalt-60. You know that cobalt-60 has a nuclear half-life of

5.30

years, and are interested in finding how many grams of the sample would remain after

1.00

year and

10.0

years, respectively.

A radioactive isotope's half-life tells you how much time is needed for an initial sample to be halved.

Describe how you could prove that a bicycle is matter

Ainat [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

Matter is anything that has weight and occupies space.

To prove that a bicycle is a matter, we need to show that it has weight and will occupy space.

When you put the bicycle on a weighing scale, you will see the weight of the bicycle. This a proof that bicycle is a matter.

To show that the bicycle can occupy space, place the device in a tank full of water. From the tank, the bicycle will displace some water. Substances that cannot occupy space will not behave in such manner.
