How many capsules containing 75mg of Tamiflu could be produced from 155g of star anise.?

1 answer:

7 0

From the question you will find that:
one capsule of tamiflu is obtained from 2.6 g of star anise.
1 capsule = 2.6 g tamiflu
? capsules = 155 g tamiflu
by cross multiplication = $\frac{(1 x 155)}{2.6}$ = 59 capsules

Gnom [1K]

Answer: The empirical formula for the given compound is $C_5H_7N$

Explanation:

The chemical equation for the combustion of compound having carbon, hydrogen, and nitrogen follows:

$C_xH_yN_z+O_2\rightarrow CO_2+H_2O$

where, 'x', 'y' and 'z' are the subscripts of carbon, hydrogen and nitrogen respectively.

We are given:

Mass of $CO_2=21.363mg=21.363\times 10^3g=21363g$

Mass of $H_2O=6.125g=6.125\times 10^3g=6125g$

We know that:

Molar mass of carbon dioxide = 44 g/mol

Molar mass of water = 18 g/mol

For calculating the mass of carbon:

In 44 g of carbon dioxide, 12 g of carbon is contained.

So, in 21363 g of carbon dioxide, $\frac{12}{44}\times 21363=5826.27g$ of carbon will be contained.

For calculating the mass of hydrogen:

In 18 g of water, 2 g of hydrogen is contained.

So, in 6125 g of water, $\frac{2}{18}\times 6125=680.55$ of hydrogen will be contained.

Now we have to calculate the mass of nitrogen.

Mass of nitrogen in the compound = (7875) - (5826.27 + 680.55) = 1368.18 g

To formulate the empirical formula, we need to follow some steps:

Step 1: Converting the given masses into moles.

Moles of Carbon = $\frac{\text{Given mass of Carbon}}{\text{Molar mass of Carbon}}=\frac{5826.27g}{12g/mole}=485.52moles$

Moles of Hydrogen = $\frac{\text{Given mass of Hydrogen}}{\text{Molar mass of Hydrogen}}=\frac{680.55g}{1g/mole}=680.55moles$

Moles of Nitrogen = $\frac{\text{Given mass of nitrogen}}{\text{Molar mass of nitrogen}}=\frac{1368.18g}{14g/mole}=97.73moles$

Step 2: Calculating the mole ratio of the given elements.

For the mole ratio, we divide each value of the moles by the smallest number of moles calculated which is 0.0154 moles.

For Carbon = $\frac{485.52}{97.73}=4.96\approx 5$

For Hydrogen = $\frac{680.55}{97.73}=6.96\approx 7$

For Nitrogen = $\frac{97.73}{97.73}=1$

Step 3: Taking the mole ratio as their subscripts.

The ratio of C : H : N = 5 : 7 : 1

Hence, the empirical formula for the given compound nicotine is $C_5H_7N_1=C_5H_7N$

1.5mol C3H8 from C3H8+5O2-->3CO2+4H2O .how many grams of carbon dioxide are produced

koban [17]

Answer:

$\large \boxed{\text{200 g CO}_{{2}}}$

Explanation:

We will need a balanced equation with masses, moles, and molar masses, so let’s gather all the information in one place.

Mᵣ: 44.01

C₃H₈ + 5O₂ ⟶ 3CO₂ + 4H₂O

n/mol: 1.5

1. Calculate the moles of CO₂

The molar ratio is 3 mol CO₂:1 mol C₃H₈

$\rm \text{Moles of CO}_{2} = \text{1.5 mol C$_{3}$H}_{8} \times \dfrac{\text{3 mol CO}_{2}}{\text{1 mol C$_{3}$H}_{8}} =\text{4.5 mol CO}_{2}$

2. Calculate the mass of CO₂.

$\text{Mass of CO}_{2} = \text{4.5 mol CO}_{2} \times \dfrac{\text{44.01 g CO}_{2}}{\text{1 mol CO$_{2}$}} = \textbf{200 g CO}_{\mathbf{2}}\\\text{The reaction will form $\large \boxed{\textbf{200 g CO}_{\mathbf{2}}}$}$
