When 1.2383 g of an organic iron compound containing Fe, C, H, and O was burned in O2, 2.3162 g of CO2 and 0.66285 g of H2O were

produced. In a separate experiment to determine the mass percent of iron, 0.4131 g of the compound yielded 0.09333 g of Fe2O3. What is the empirical formula of the compound?

Answer:

\boxed{\text{C$_{15}$H$_{21}$FeO$_{6}$}}

Explanation:

Let's call the unknown compound X.

1. Calculate the mass of each element in 1.23383 g of X.

(a) Mass of C

\text{Mass of C} = \text{2.3162 g } \text{CO}_{2}\times \dfrac{\text{12.01 g C}}{\text{44.01 g }\text{CO}_{2}}= \text{0.632 07 g C}

(b) Mass of H

\text{Mass of H} = \text{0.66285 g }\text{H$_{2}$O}\times \dfrac{\text{2.016 g H}}{\text{18.02 g } \text{{H$_{2}$O}}} = \text{0.074 157 g H}

(c)Mass of Fe

(i)In 0.4131g of X

\text{Mass of Fe} = \text{0.093 33 g Fe$_{2}$O$_{3}$}\times \dfrac{\text{111.69 g Fe}}{\text{159.69 g g Fe$_{2}$O$_{3}$}} = \text{0.065 277 g Fe}

(ii) In 1.2383 g of X

\text{Mass of Fe} = \text{0.065277 g Fe}\times \dfrac{1.2383}{0.4131} = \text{0.195 67 g Fe}

(d)Mass of O

Mass of O = 1.2383 - 0.632 07 - 0.074 157 - 0.195 67 = 0.336 40 g

2. Calculate the moles of each element

\text{Moles of C = 0.63207 g C}\times\dfrac{\text{1 mol C}}{\text{12.01 g C }} = \text{0.052 629 mol C}\\\\\text{Moles of H = 0.074157 g H} \times \dfrac{\text{1 mol H}}{\text{1.008 g H}} = \text{0.073 568 mol H}\\\\\text{Moles of Fe = 0.195 67 g Fe} \times \dfrac{\text{1 mol Fe}}{\text{55.845 g Fe}} = \text{0.003 5038 mol Fe}\\\\\text{Moles of O = 0.336 40} \times \dfrac{\text{1 mol O}}{\text{16.00 g O}} = \text{0.021 025 mol O}

3. Calculate the molar ratios

Divide all moles by the smallest number of moles.

\text{C: } \dfrac{0.052629}{0.003 5038}= 15.021\\\\\text{H: } \dfrac{0.073568}{0.003 5038} = 20.997\\\\\text{Fe: } \dfrac{0.003 5038}{0.003 5038} = 1\\\\\text{O: } \dfrac{0.021025}{0.003 5038} = 6.0006

4. Round the ratios to the nearest integer

C:H:O:Fe = 15:21:1:6

5. Write the empirical formula

\text{The empirical formula is } \boxed{\textbf{C$_{15}$H$_{21}$FeO$_{6}$}}

The enthalpy change : -196.2 kJ/mol

<h3>Further explanation  </h3>

The change in enthalpy in the formation of 1 mole of the elements is called enthalpy of formation  

The enthalpy of formation measured in standard conditions (25 ° C, 1 atm) is called the standard enthalpy of formation (ΔHf °)  

(ΔH) can be positive (endothermic = requires heat) or negative (exothermic = releasing heat)  

The value of ° H ° can be calculated from the change in enthalpy of standard formation:  

∆H ° rxn = ∑n ∆Hf ° (product) - ∑n ∆Hf ° (reactants)  

Reaction

2 H₂O₂(l)-→ 2 H₂O(l) + O₂(g)

∆H ° rxn = 2. ∆Hf ° H₂O - 2. ∆Hf °H₂O₂

\tt \Delta H_{rxn}=2.(-285.8)-2.(-187.8)\\\\\Delta H_{rxn}=-571.6+375.4=-196.2~kJ/mol\rightarrow \Delta Hf~O_2=0

What is the molality of a solution made by dissolving 15.20 g of i2 in 1.33 mol of diethyl ether, (ch3ch2)2o?
Paraphin [41]
The  molarity   of solution  made  by  dissolving  15.20g  of i2  in 1.33 mol  of diethyl ether (CH3CH2)2O  is    =0.6M

   calculation

molarity  =moles of solute/  Kg of the  solvent

mole  of the solute  (i2)  =  mass /molar mass
the molar mass of i2 = 126.9 x2 = 253.8 g/mol

moles is therefore=  15.2 g/253.8 g/mol  =  0.06  moles


calculate the Kg of solvent  (CH3CH2)2O
mass =  moles  x  molar mass
molar mass  of  (CH3CH2)2O= 74 g/mol

mass  is therefore = 1.33 moles  x  74 g/mol =  98.42 grams
in Kg = 98.42 /1000 =0.09842  Kg

molarity  is therefore = 0.06/0.09842 = 0.6 M
