Calculate the molecular formula of a compound with the empirical formula C5H11 and a molar mass of 142.32 grams/mole

1 answer:

6 0

Relative formula mass C₅H₁₁ = 71

Now divide the molar mass by the RFM = 142.32 / 71 = 2

Now C₍₅ₓ₂₎H₍₁₁ₓ₂) = C₁₀H₂₂

Hope that helps

What is the percent by mass of a solution containing 4. 0g of solute in 100g of water? (Percent by mass formula: (mass of solute

Hoochie [10]

B
mass of solute - 4.0 g
mass of solution - 100g + 4.0g = 104g
4/104 = 0.03846
0.03846 • 100 = 3.8%

2.Which of the alcohols listed below would you expect to react most rapidly with PBr3?A)CH3CH2CH2CH2CH2CH2OHB)(CH3CH2)2CH(OH)CH2

Gnoma [55]

Answer:

A) CH3CH2CH2CH2CH2CH2OH

Explanation:

For this question, we have the following answer options:

A) CH3CH2CH2CH2CH2CH2OH

B) (CH3CH2)2CH(OH)CH2CH3

C) (CH3CH2)2CHOHCH3

D) (CH3CH2)3COH

E) (CH3CH2)2C(CH3)OH

We have to remember the reaction mechanism of the substitution reaction with $PBr_3$ . The idea is to generate a better leaving group in order to add a "Br" atom.

The $PBr_3$ attacks the "OH" generation new a bond to P (O-P bonds are very strong), due to this new bond we will have a better leaving group that can remove the oxygen an allow the attack of the Br atom to generating a new C-Br bond. This is made by an Sn2 reaction. Therefore we will have a faster reaction with primary substrates. In this case, the only primary substrate is molecule A. So, "CH3CH2CH2CH2CH2CH2OH" will react faster.

See figure 1

A series of six solutions was prepared at the given concentrations. Sample A B C D E F Concentration (mM) 50 100 150 200 300 400

ioda

Answer:

300 mM

Explanation:

In order to solve this problem we need to calculate the line of best fit for those experimental values. The absorbance values go in the Y-axis while the concentration goes in the X-axis. We can calculate the linear fit using Microsoft Excel using the LINEST function (alternatively you can write the Y data in one column and X data in another one, then use that data to create a dispersion graph and finally add the line of best fit and its formula).

The formula for the line of best fit for this set of data is:

y = 0.005 * x

So now we calculate the value of x when y is 1.50:

1.50 = 0.005 * x

x = 300 mM
