What is the empirical formula for a compound that is 83.7% carbon and 16.3% hydrogen?

zubka84 [21]

Hello!

We use the amount in grams (mass ratio) based on the composition of the elements, see: (in 100 g solution)

C: 83.7% = 83,7 g
H: 16.3% = 16.3 g

Let us use the above mentioned data (in g) and values will be converted to amount of substance (number of moles) by dividing by molecular mass (g / mol) each of the values, lets see:

$C: \dfrac{83.7\:\diagup\!\!\!\!\!g}{12\:\diagup\!\!\!\!\!g/mol} \approx 6.975\:mol$

$H: \dfrac{16.3\:\diagup\!\!\!\!\!g}{1\:\diagup\!\!\!\!\!g/mol} = 16.3\:mol$

We note that the values found above are not integers, so let's divide these values by the smallest of them, so that the proportion is not changed, let's see:

$C: \dfrac{6.975}{6.975} = 1$

$H: \dfrac{16.3}{6.975} \approx 2.3$

Note: So the ratio in the smallest whole numbers of carbon to hydrogen is 3:7, t<span>hus, the minimum or empirical formula found for the compound will be:
</span>
$\boxed{\boxed{C_3H_7}}\end{array}}\qquad\checkmark$

I hope this helps. =)

Answer:

9.1 mol

Explanation:

The balanced chemical equation of the reaction is:

CO (g) + 2H2 (g) → CH3OH (l)

According to the above balanced equation, 2 moles of hydrogen gas (H2) are needed to produce 1 mole of methanol (CH3OH).

To convert 36.7 g of hydrogen gas to moles, we use the formula;

mole = mass/molar mass

Molar mass of H2 = 2.02g/mol

mole = 36.7/2.02

mole = 18.17mol

This means that if;

2 moles of H2 reacts to produce 1 mole of CH3OH

18.17mol of H2 will react to produce;

18.17 × 1 / 2

= 18.17/2

= 9.085

Approximately to 1 d.p = 9.1 mol of methanol (CH3OH).

When you use a simple machine to do work, ________.

cricket20 [7]

Answer:

distance decreases and force increases

Explanation:

Simple machine means less power
Hence it will require more force.
Hence distance will decrease with respect to force and force will decrease

Looking at the same nonmetal group on the periodic table, how does the reactivity of an element in period 2 compare to the react

Bas_tet [7]

Answer : Option B) The period 2 element would be more reactive because the attractive force of protons is stronger when electrons are attracted to a closer electron shell.

Explanation : The reactivity of the Periods decreases as we go from left to right across a period. The farther to the left and down the periodic chart we go, the easier it is for electrons to be donated or taken away, resulting in higher reactivities of the elements. The attractive force of the protons is found to be stronger when electrons are found to be attracted to a closer electron shell.
