Answer:

C9 H13 N O3  

Explanation:

Carbon mole wt = 12

   59 /12 = 4.917

Hydrogen  mole wt = 1

  7.15 / 1 =   7.15

Oxygen mole wt = 16

  26.2 / 16 = 1.6375

Nitrogen  mole wt = 14

  7.65 / 14 = .5464                  

Now divide the numbers by the smallest found      

 Carbon   4.917 / .5464 = 9

 Hydrogen  7.15 / .5464 = 13

 Oxygen    1.6375 / 3

  Nitrogen  .5464 /.5464 =1                   emp form  C9 H13 O3 N

Sodium reacts with chlorine gas according to the following reaction: 2Na(s)+Cl2(g)→2NaCl(s) What volume of Cl2 gas, measured at
asambeis [7]

Answer:6.719Litres of Cl2 gas.

Explanation:According to eqn of rxn

2Na +Cl2=2NaCl

P=689torr=689/760=0.91atm

T=39°C+273=312K

according to stoichiometry of the reaction,1Moles of Cl2 gives 2moles of NaCl

But 28g of NaCl was given,we have to convert this to moles by using the relation, n=mass/MW

MW of NaCl=23+35.5=58.5g/mol

n=28g(mass given of NaCl)/58.5

n=0.479moles of NaCl

Going back to the reaction,

if 1moles of Cl2 produces 2moles of NaCl

x moles of Cl2 will give 0.479moles of NaCl.

x=0.479*1/2

x=0.239moles of Cl2.

To find the volume, we use ideal ggas eqn,PV=nRT

V=nRT/P

V=0.239*0.082*312/0.91

V=6.719Litres

How many grams of KCI can be dissolved in 63.5. g of water at 80
Masteriza [31]

Answer:

35.8 g

Explanation:

Step 1: Given data

Mass of water: 63.5 g

Step 2: Calculate how many grams of KCl can be dissolved in 63.5. g of water at 80 °C

Solubility is the maximum amount of solute that can be dissolved in 100 g of solute at a specified temperature. The solubility of KCl at 80 °C is 56.3 g%g, that is, we can dissolve up to 56.3 g of KCl in 100 g of water.

63.5 g Water × 56.3 g KCl/100 g Water = 35.8 g KCl

For the following reaction, 4.07 grams of aluminum oxide are mixed with excess sulfuric acid. The reaction yields 10.4 grams of
torisob [31]

Answer:

Theoretical yield = 13.7 g

% yield =76 %

Explanation:

For Al_2O_3

Mass of Al_2O_3  = 4.07 g

Molar mass of Al_2O_3  = 101.96 g/mol

The formula for the calculation of moles is shown below:

moles = \frac{Mass\ taken}{Molar\ mass}

Thus,

Moles= \frac{4.07\ g}{101.96\ g/mol}

Moles\ of\ Al_2O_3= 0.0399\ mol

According to the reaction:

Al_2O_3+3H_2SO_4\rightarrow Al_2(SO_4)_3+3H_2O

1 mole of Al_2O_3  on reaction produces 1 mole of Al_2(SO_4)_3

So,  

0.0399 mole of Al_2O_3  on reaction produces 0.0399 mole of Al_2(SO_4)_3

Moles of Al_2(SO_4)_3  obtained = 0.0399 mole

Molar mass of Al_2(SO_4)_3 = 342.2 g/mol

The formula for the calculation of moles is shown below:

moles = \frac{Mass\ taken}{Molar\ mass}

Thus,

0.0399= \frac{Mass}{342.2\ g/mol}

Mass= 13.7\ g

<u>Theoretical yield = 13.7 g</u>

The expression for the calculation of the percentage yield for a chemical reaction is shown below as:-

\%\ yield =\frac {Experimental\ yield}{Theoretical\ yield}\times 100

Given , Values from the question:-

Theoretical yield = 13.7 g

Experimental yield = 10.4 g

Applying the values in the above expression as:-

\%\ yield =\frac{10.4}{13.7}\times 100

<u>% yield =76 %</u>

A block of aluminum occupies a volume of 15.0 mL and weighs 40.5 g. What is its density? Answer in g/mL.
solong [7]

Answer:

The answer is

<h2>2.7 g/mL</h2>

Explanation:

The density of a substance can be found by using the formula

Density =  \frac{mass}{volume}

From the question

mass of aluminum = 40.5 g

volume = 15 mL

Substitute the values into the above formula and solve for the density

We have

Density =  \frac{40.5}{15}

We have the final answer as

<h3>2.7 g/mL</h3>

You have 26.7 mL of 0.061 mol/L aqueous potassium hydroxide (KOH(aq)) in a conical flask. In a burette
Natasha2012 [34]

Answer:

9.47 mL

Explanation:

The reaction that takes place is:

  • 2KOH + H₂SO₄ → K₂SO₄ + 2H₂O

First we <u>calculate how many KOH moles reacted</u>, using <em>the given concentration and volume of KOH solution</em>:

  • 0.061 mol/L = 0.061 mmol/mL
  • 0.061 mmol/mL * 26.7 mL = 1.6287 mmol KOH

Then we <u>convert KOH moles into H₂SO₄ moles</u>, using the <em>stoichiometric coefficients</em>:

  • 1.6287 mmol KOH * \frac{1mmolH_2SO_4}{2mmolKOH} = 0.8144 mmol H₂SO₄

Finally we <u>calculate the required volume of the H₂SO₄ solution</u>, using<em> the number of moles and given concentration</em>:

  • 0.8144 mmol ÷ 0.086 mmol/mL = 9.47 mL
