If 1.00 g of a hydrocarbon is combusted and found to produce 3.14 g of co2, what is the empirical formula of the hydrocarbon?

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.

Ethane, C2H6, can be formed by reacting acetylene, C2H2, with hydrogen gas as follows: C2H2(g) H2(g) ⇌ C2H6(g) Exothermic What c
Pavel [41]

Answer:

Equilibrium shifts to the right

Explanation:

An exothermic reaction is one in which temperature is released to the environment. Hence, if the reaction vessel housing an exothermic reaction is touched after reaction completion, we will notice that the reaction vessel e.g beaker is hot.

To consider the equilibrium response to temperature changes, we need to consider if the reaction is exothermic or endothermic. In the case of this particular question, it has been established that the reaction is exothermic.

Heat is released to the surroundings as the reactants are at a higher energy level compared to the products. Hence, increasing the temperature will favor the formation of more reactants and as such, the equilibrium position will shift to the left to pave way for the formation of more reactants. Thus , more acetylene and hydrogen would be yielded

Olegator [25]

Answer:

Explanation:

By definition, the momentum is given by:

p=m*v

Where,

m: car mass

v: speed of the car

Substituting the values in the given definition we have:

p=3*154

Answer:

the momentum of the car is:

4620g * cm/s

Anna11 [10]

Answer:

23.8 L

Explanation:

There is some info missing. I think this is the original question.

<em>Calculate the volume in liters of a 0.0380M potassium iodide solution that contains 150 g of potassium iodide. Be sure your answer has the correct number of significant digits.</em>

<em />

The molar mass of potassium iodide is 166.00 g/mol. The moles corresponding to 150 grams are:

150 g × (1 mol/166.00 g) = 0.904 mol

0.904 moles of potassium iodide are contained in an unknown volume of a 0.0380 mol/L potassium iodide solution. The volume is:

0.904 mol × (1 L/0.0380 mol) = 23.8 L
