Question

(a.) a 0.7549g sample of the compound burns in o2(g) to produce 1.9061g of co2(g) and 0.3370g of h2o(g).

Answer 1

The individual mass of C, H and O in given sample are 0.5196 g, 0.0374 g and 0.1979 g respectively.

Moles of CO2 formed can be calculated as

= Mass of CO2 / Molar mass of CO2

= 1.9061 / 44 = 0.0433 moles

Calculation of no. of moles of carbon

Now, moles of C which is present in one mole of CO2 = 1 mole

Moles of C in 0.0433 moles of CO2 = 0.0433 moles

As we know that, molar mass of C = 12 g / mol

Mass of C in 0.7549 g of given sample can be calculated as

= 0.0433 × 12 =0.5196 g

Mass of H2O formed = 0.3370 g

Similarly, Molar Mass of H2O = 18 g / mol

Moles of H2O = 0.3370 / 18 = 0.0187 moles

Moles of H present in 1 mole of H2O = 2 moles

Moles of H present in 0.0187 mole of H2O = 2 × 0.0187 = 0.0374 moles

Molar mass of H = 1 g / mol

Mass of H contained in 0.7549 g of sample = 1 × 0.0374= 0.0374 g

Mass of O in 0.7549 g sample can be calculated as

= 0.7549 – [(Mass of C ) + (Mass of H) ]

= 0.7549 – [ (0.5196) + (0.0374) ]

= 0.1979 g

Thus, we calculated that the individual mass of C, H and O in given sample are 0.5196 g, 0.0374 g and 0.1979 g respectively.
