CxHy     +  O2    -->    x CO2     +    y/2  H2O

 

Find the moles of CO2 :     18.9g  /  44 g/mol   =    .430 mol CO2   = .430 mol of C in compound

Find the moles of H2O:      5.79g / 18 g/mol     =     .322 mol H2O   = .166 mol of H in compound

 

Find the mass of C and H in the compound:

                             .430mol  x 12  =  5.16 g C

                              .166mol  x 1g   = .166g H   

 

When you add these up they indicate a mass of 5.33 g for the compound, not 5.80g as you stated in the problem.

Therefore it is likely that either the mass of the CO2 or the mass of H20 produced is incorrect (most likely a typo).

In any event, to find the formula, you would take the moles of C and H and convert to a whole number ratio (this is usually done by dividing both of them by the smaller value).

Answer: Temperature and number of moles are the conditions which remain constant in Boyle's law.

Explanation:

Boyle's law states that at constant temperature the pressure of a gas is inversely proportional to the volume of gas.

Mathematically, it is represented as follows.

P \propto \frac{1}{V}

As equation for ideal gas is as follows.

PV = nRT

And, at constant temperature the pressure is inversely proportional to volume which also means that number of moles are also constant in Boyle's law.

Thus, we can conclude that temperature and number of moles are the conditions which remain constant in Boyle's law.

Which of the following is not true of acids?
NeTakaya

Answer is: 2. dillute acids feel slipper.

1) Acids are corrosive is correct. For example hydrochloric acid (HCl) will react with most metals.

2) Dillute acids feel slippery is not correct. Bases, for example solution of sodium hydroxide feels slipery.

3) Acids have a distinctly sour taste is correct. For example, vinegar is mixture of acetic acid (CH₃COOH) and water (H₂O). Vinegar is colourless liquid with sour taste and pungent smell, freezing point of the vinegar is lower than glacial acetic acid.

4) Acids have more hydronium ions than hydroxide ions is correct. Because acid gives a lot of hydrogen cations (H⁺), pH (pH = -log[H⁺]) is lower than seven (acidic solution).

The mole ratio of two reactants in a chemical equation is determined by
Ipatiy [6.2K]

Answer:

A mole ratio is the ratio between the amounts in moles of any two compounds involved in a chemical reaction. ... The mole ratio may be determined by examining the coefficients in front of formulas in a balanced chemical equation. Also known as: The mole ratio is also called the mole-to-mole ratio.
