To obey the Law of Conservation of Mass, the sum of all individual elements of a compound is equal to the mass of the compound. So, if HCN has a mass of 7.83 grams, then

7.83 g = mass of H + mass of C + mass of N

We know the masses of H and N to be 0.290 g and 4.06 g, respectively. Hence, we can find for the mass of C:

7.83 = 0.29 + mass of C + 4.06
mass of C = 3.48 g

As an extension to the Law of Conservation of Mass, there is also a Law of Definite Proportions. According to Dalton's atomic theory, a compound is formed from a fixed ratio of its individual elements. From our previous calculations, we know that the mass ratio of H to C to N is 0.29 g: 3.48 g:4.06 grams. The ratio could also be expressed in percentages. Let's find the mass percentage of Carbon in HCN to be used later:

mass % of Carbon = (3.48 g/7.83 g)*100
mass % of Carbon = 44.44%

So, if you collect a different mass of HCN, say 3.37 g, the corresponding mass of Carbon is equal to:

Mass of Carbon = (3.37)(44.44%)
Mass of Carbon = 1.498 g

How many molecules of water can be produced from 46.72 liters of C8H18? 2\:C_8H_{18}\:+\:25\:O_2\:\:\Longrightarrow\:\:16\:CO_2\
Dmitry [639]

Answer:

1.13×10^25 molecules of water.

Explanation:

Equation of the reaction;

C8H18(g) + 25/2 O2 (g) -------> 8CO2(g) + 9H2O(l)

It is important to first put down the balanced reaction equation. It is not possible to solve any problem on stoichiometric relationship without a balanced reaction equation. Once the equation is obtained, we can now proceed with other steps in the solution of the problem.

From the reaction equation, 1 mole of C8H18 produces 9 moles of water

1 mole of C8H18 occupies 22.4L volume while 1 mole of water contains 6.02×10^23 molecules of water

Hence

22.4 L of C8H18 produces 9(6.02×10^23) molecules of water

46.72 L of C8H18 will produce 46.72 L × 9(6.02×10^23) molecules of water/22.4 L

= 113×10^23 or 1.13×10^25 molecules of water.

You must make 1 L of 0.2 M acetic acid (CH3COOH). All you have available is concentrated glacial acetic acid (assay value, 98%;
Sergeu [11.5K]

Answer:

The correct answer is "11.44 ml".

Explanation:

Molarity,

= 0.2 M

Density,

= 1.05 g/ml

Volume,

= 1 L

As we know,

⇒  Molarity=\frac{No. \ of \ moles }{Volume \ of \ solution}

or,

⇒  No. \ of \ moles=Molarity\times Volume

On putting the values, we get

⇒                         =0.2\times 1

⇒                         =0.2 \ moles

Now,

⇒  No. \ of \ moles=\frac{Mass \ taken}{Molecular \ mass}

or,

⇒  Mass \ taken=No. \ of \ moles\times Molecular \ mass

⇒                      =0.2\times 60.05

⇒                      =12.01 \ gram

hence,

⇒  Density= \frac{Mass }{Volume}

or,

⇒  Volume=\frac{Mass}{Density}

⇒                =\frac{12.01}{1.05}

⇒                =11.44 \ ml

A gas has a volume of 6.35 L at 88.6 kPa. What will be the volume at standard pressure? Standard Pressure = 101.3 kPa
alukav5142 [94]

Answer:

5.55 L

Explanation:

This excersise can be solved by the Boyle's law.

This law for gases states that the pressure of a gas in a vessel is inversely proportional to the volume of the vessel.

P₁ . V₁  = P₂ . V₂

The law comes from the Ideal Gases Law, in the first term.

P . V = n . R . T  In this case, n . R . T are all constant.

6.35 L . 88.6 kPa = 101.3 kPa . V₂

V₂ = (6.35 L . 88.6 kPa) / 101.3 kPa

V₂ = 5.55 L

It is inversely proportional because, as it happened in this case, pressure was increased, therefore volume decreased.
