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.

How many atoms are in 0.625 moles of ge (atomic mass = 72.59 amu)?
lord [1]
0.625 moles of ge X 6.02x10^23 atoms/ 1 mol of ge equal to 3.76x10^23 atoms of ge, just times with Avogadro.

The entropy of an exothermic reaction decreases. This reaction will be spontaneous under which of the following temperatures?
kakasveta [241]

Answer:Low temperatures

Explanation:

∆G= ∆H-T∆S

If ∆H is negative (exothermic reaction), then in order to maintain ∆G<0 which is the condition for spontaneity; T must decrease. This is because, decrease in T will keep the difference of ∆H and T∆S at a negative value in order to satisfy the above stated condition for spontaneity.

How reactive is an atom of Sodium(Na) and why?
s344n2d4d5 [400]
3rd one:
it is very reactive because it does not have a full Valence shell.

this is because it's in group 1 so it has one electron in its outer shell, and it wants to have a full outer shell ( which it can gain by losing the electron in a reaction).

Hope this helps :)
