An unknown compound contains only carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, and oxygen. Complete combustion of a 2.77 g sample of the compound

gives 6.64 g CO2 and 1.67 g H2O. Another sample of mass 1.69 g was found to contain 0.143 g N. The molar mass of the compound was found to be 165 g mol−1. Find the molecular formula of the unknown compound

The molecular formula of the unknown compound is determined as  C₉H₁₁NO₂.

<h3>Molecular formula of the compound</h3>

The molecular formula is calculated as follows;

CHNO  +  O₂ ------------> CO₂  + H₂O

Mass of carbon, C:  = (6.64 x 12)/44 = 1.81 g in 2.77 g sample

Mass of hydrogen, H: = (1.67 x 2)/18 = 0.186 g in 2.77 g sample

Mass of Nitrogen, N: = (2.77 x 0.143)/1.69 = 0.234 g

Mass of oxygen, O:  = 2.77 g - 1.81 g - 0.186 g - 0.234 g = 0.54 g

<h3>molar ratio of the elements: </h3>

C = 1.81 g = 0.15 mol

H = 0.186 g = 0.186 mol

N = 0.234 g = 0.017 mol

O = 0.54 g = 0.0337 mol

divide through with the smallest number of moles (0.017 mol);

C = 9

H = 11

N = 1

O = 2

Molecular formula = C₉H₁₁NO₂

Check the molar mass of the compound = (9 x 12) + (11 x 1) + (14) + (2 x 16) = 165 g/mol

Thus, the molecular formula of the unknown compound is determined as  C₉H₁₁NO₂.

Phosgene is formed from carbon monoxide and chlorine. At 611 oC, Kc is approximately 16.5 M-1 or L/mol. Calculate Kp (in atm-1)
defon

Answer:

Kp is 0.228/atm

Explanation:

This is the reaction:

CO + Cl<u>₂</u> → CCl₂O

1 mol of carbon monoxide and 1 mol of chlorine produce 1 mol of phosgene.

Formula for Kp which derivates from Kc is:

Kp = Kc (R.T)ⁿᵇ ⁻ ⁿᵃ

Δп = nb (moles in the products) - nₐ(moles in the reactants)

Δп = 1 - 2 = -1

T is T° in K → T°C + 273 = 611°C +273 = 884K

R → Universal constant gas → 0.082 L.atm/mol.K

We replace the data: Kp = 16.5 L/mol (0.082 . 884K)⁻¹ → 0.228/atm

The molar mass of nitrogen (N2) is 28.02 g/mol. What is the mass, in grams, of 4.60 mol of N2?0.1646.0923.4129
kati45 [8]
Answer is 128.892 g.

moles (mol) = mass (g) / molar mass (g/mol)

According to the given data,
     moles = 4.60 mol
     mass = ?
     molar mass = 28.02 g/mol

By substitution,
   4.60 mol = mass / (28.02 g/mol)
        mass = 4.60 mol x 28.02 g/mol
        mass = 128.892 g

Hence, mass of 4.60 mol of N
₂ is 128.892 g.

What is the molarity of a solution with 2 moles of HCl in 2000 mL?
ikadub [295]

Answer:

"1 M" will be the right solution.

Explanation:

The given values are:

Number of moles,

= 2 moles

Volume of solution,

= 2000 mL

or,

= 2 L

Now,

The molarity of the solution will be:

=  \frac{Moles}{Liters}

On substituting the values, we get

=  \frac{2}{2}

=  1 \ M
