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.

Answer:

A: 92.02 g

Explanation:

Equation of the reaction;

N2 (g)+ 2O2(g)------> 2NO2(g)

Note that the balanced reaction equation is the first step in solving any problem on stoichiometry. Once the reaction equation is correct, the question can be easily solved...

as you move down a group in the periodic table, atomic size generally a. increases. b. decreases. c. remains the same. d. varies
Helen [10]
The atomic size / radius generally increases, as when we move down the group, it means that there is an additional shell compared to the last element. For example, K has one more electron shell than Na does, so the atomic size generally increases as we move down a group in the periodic table.

Do you expect the O---O bond in H2O2 to be longer or shorter than the O---O bond in O2?
melomori [17]

Answer : The O-O bond in H_2O_2 will be longer than the O-O bond in O_2.

Explanation :

In the H_2O_2, the two oxygen atoms are bonded by the single bond and in O_2, the two oxygen atoms are bonded by the double bond.

As we know, the bond strength of double bond is greater than the single bond.

And the relation between the bond strength and bond length is,

\text{ Bond strength}\propto \frac{1}{\text{ Bond length}}

That means the higher the strength, the shorter will be the bond length.

Hence, the bond length of single bond will be longer than the double bond.

Describe what happened when sodium chloride (salt) was placed in water in the video What happens when stuff dissolves?"
Sonja [21]

Answer:

-

Explanation:

Water molecules pull the sodium and chloride ions apart, breaking the ionic bond that held them together. After the salt compounds are pulled apart, the sodium and chloride atoms are surrounded by water molecules, as this diagram shows. Once this happens, the salt is dissolved, resulting in a homogeneous solution.
