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.

Explain the need of the term avarage atomic mass

vodomira [7]

Answer:

The average atomic mass of an element is the sum of the masses of its isotopes, each multiplied by its natural abundance (the decimal associated with percent of atoms of that element that are of a given isotopе). An element does not have an absolute atomic mass.

Hope this helps :)

If one adds 0.1 mol of the weak acid hf (pk_a = 3.2) to a solution with a ph = 2, which species would be most abundant and how m

zavuch27 [327]

$F^{-}$ is most abundant and 6310 times more than HF.

<h3>What is a strong and weak acid?</h3>

When an acid is dissolved in water, all of its molecules disintegrate, making the acid powerful.

When an acid is dissolved in water, only a small number of its molecules disintegrate, making the acid weak. Strong acids have a lower pH than weak acids.

The powerful acids include perchloric acid, chloric acid, nitric acid, sulfuric acid, hydrobromic acid, and hydroiodic acid.

Given:

Pka=3..2

pH=7

Let the volume be 1 liter

[HF]=01 M

$pH=pka+log \frac{F^{-}}{HF} \\\\7=3.2+log\frac{F^{-}}{HF} \\3.8=log\frac{F^{-}}{HF}\\ \frac{F^{-}}{0.1}=10^{3.8} \\F^{-}=630.95 M$

Now,

$\frac{F^{-}}{HF}=\frac{630.95}{0.1}\\ =6309.57$

F-:HF= 6309.57:1

Therefore, the most abundant is $F^{-}$ and has 6310 times more than HF is $F^{-}$ .
