Answer:

The formula for potassium dihydrogen phosphate is KH2PO4.

It is also know as monopotassium phosphate.

Molecular mass is

(1×39)+(2×1)+(1×31)+(4×16)

=39+2+31+64= 136

Therefore the molecular mass is 136

Which resources are significantly polluted by heavy metals like mercury?

arlik [135]

Heavy metals like mercury enter waterways by industrial dumping and poor regulatioin of effluent, and they also enter soil through a similar manner, in which waste is disposed of imporperly. Another source of heavy metals are the gases leaving industry carrying these metals. The metals fall as a solid on to soil and water ways. Therefore, the answer is D.

A 13.30 gram sample of an organic compound containing C, H and O is analyzed by combustion analysis and 13.00 grams of CO2 and 2

a_sh-v [17]

Answer: The empirical and molecular formula for the given organic compound is $CHO_2$ and $C_2H_2O_4$

Explanation:

The chemical equation for the combustion of hydrocarbon having carbon, hydrogen and oxygen follows:

$C_xH_yO_z+O_2\rightarrow CO_2+H_2O$

where, 'x', 'y' and 'z' are the subscripts of Carbon, hydrogen and oxygen respectively.

We are given:

Mass of $CO_2=13.00g$

Mass of $H_2O=2.662g$

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 13.00 g of carbon dioxide, $\frac{12}{44}\times 13.00=3.54g$ of carbon will be contained.

For calculating the mass of hydrogen:

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

So, in 2.662 g of water, $\frac{2}{18}\times 2.662=0.296g$ of hydrogen will be contained.

Mass of oxygen in the compound = (13.30) - (3.54 + 0.296) = 9.464 g

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

Step 1: Converting the given masses into moles.

Moles of Carbon = $\frac{\text{Given mass of Carbon}}{\text{Molar mass of Carbon}}=\frac{3.54g}{12g/mole}=0.295moles$

Moles of Hydrogen = $\frac{\text{Given mass of Hydrogen}}{\text{Molar mass of Hydrogen}}=\frac{0.296g}{1g/mole}=0.296moles$

Moles of Oxygen = $\frac{\text{Given mass of oxygen}}{\text{Molar mass of oxygen}}=\frac{9.465g}{16g/mole}=0.603moles$

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 0.295 moles.

For Carbon = $\frac{0.295}{0.295}=1$

For Hydrogen = $\frac{0.296}{0.295}=1$

For Oxygen = $\frac{0.603}{0.295}=2.044\approx 2$

Step 3: Taking the mole ratio as their subscripts.

The ratio of C : H : O = 1 : 1 : 2

Hence, the empirical formula for the given compound is $CHO_2$

For determining the molecular formula, we need to determine the valency which is multiplied by each element to get the molecular formula.

The equation used to calculate the valency is :

$n=\frac{\text{Molecular mass}}{\text{Empirical mass}}$

We are given:

Mass of molecular formula = 90.04 g/mol

Mass of empirical formula = 45 g/mol

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$n=\frac{90.04g/mol}{45g/mol}=2$

Multiplying this valency by the subscript of every element of empirical formula, we get:

$C_{(1\times 2)}H_{(1\times 2)}O_{(2\times 2)}=C_2H_2O_4$

Hence, the empirical and molecular formula for the given organic compound is $CHO_2$ and $C_2H_2O_4$

P4O10(s) = -3110 kJ/mol H2O(l) = -286 kJ/mol H3PO4(s) = -1279 kJ/mol Calculate the change in enthalpy for the following process:

mash [69]

Answer:

-290KJ/mol

Explanation:

ΔHrxn = ΔHproduct - ΔHreactant

ΔHrxn= 4ΔHH3PO4 - {6ΔHH2O + ΔHP4O10}

ΔHrxn = 4(-1279) - [6(-286) - 3110]

= -5116 -(-1716-3110)

= -5116-(-4826)

= -5116 + 4826 = -290KJ/mol
