The combustion reaction is as expressed,

                CxHy + O2 --> CO2 + H2O

The mass fraction of carbon in CO2 is 3/11. Hence,
       mass of C in CO2 = (3.14 g)(3/11) = 0.86 g C.

Given that we have 1 g of the hydrocarbon, the mass of H is equal to 0.14 g. 

     moles of C = 0.86 g C / 12 g = 0.0713
     moles of H = 0.14 g H / 1 g  = 0.14

The empirical formula for the hydrocarbon is therefore, CH₂.

The molar mass of an element is the mass of one
allochka39001 [22]

Answer:

  • <em>The molar mass of an element is the mass of </em><u>one mole of atoms of the element.</u>

Explanation:

<em>The molar mass of an element </em>is its atomic mass, i.e.  the mass in grams of one mole of atoms of the element.

Remember 1 mol is approximately 6.022 × 10²³.

So, 1 mol of atoms is 6.022 × 10²³ atoms.

The molar mass is an average: it is the weighted average mass of the natural isotopes of the element, taking into account their relative abundance.

For example, the molar mass or atomic mass of carbon is 12,0107 g/mol, instead of 12.0000, becasue carbon exists in several forms (isotopes), and so the weighted average is not a whole number.

Imagine a chemist is in the lab and trying to make some chemical reactions happen. In one reaction she reacts chemicals in an exothermic reaction and there is an increase in entropy. A second chemical reaction she is trying to run is endothermic and there is a decrease in entropy. Which of the two reactions is more likely to occur and why?
