The combustion of 1.38 grams of a compound which contains C, H, O and N yields 1.72 grams of CO2 and 1.18 grams of H2O. Another

sample of the compound with a mass of 22.34 grams is found to contain 6.75 grams of O. What is the empirical formula of the compound?

Answer:

The empirical formula is C3H10N2O2

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Mass of the sample in experiment 1 = 1.38 grams

Mass of CO2 produced = 1.72 grams

Mass of H2O produced = 1.18 grams

Molar mass CO2 = 44.01 g/mol

Molar mass H2O = 18.02 g/mol

Atomic mass C = 12.01 g/mol

Atomic mass O = 16.0 g/mol

Atomic mass H = 1.01 g/mol

MAss of the sample in experiment 2 = 22.34 grams

Mass of O = 6.75 grams

Step 2: Calculate moles CO2

Moles CO2 = mass CO2 / molar mass CO2

Moles CO2 = 1.72 grams / 44.01 g/mol

Moles CO2 = 0.0391 moles

Step 3: Calculate moles C

For 1 mol CO2 we have 1 mol C

For 0.0391 moles CO2 we have 0.0391 moles C

Step 4: Calculate mass C

Mass C = 0.0391 moles * 12.01 g/mol

Mass C = 0.470 grams

Step 5: Calculate moles H2O

Moles H2O = 1.18 grams / 18.02 g/mol

Moles H2O = 0.0655 moles

Step 6: Calculate moles H

For 1 mol H2O we have 2 moles H

For 0.0655 moles H we have 2*0.0655 = 0.131 moles H

Step 7: Calculate mass H

Mass H = 0.131 moles * 1.01 g/mol

Mass H = 0.132 grams

Step 8: Calculate the mass %

% C = (0.470 grams / 1.38 grams) * 100 %

% C = 34.06 %

%H = (0.132/1.38)*100 %

%H = 9.57 %

%O= (6.75 grams / 22.34 grams)*100 %

%O = 30.21 %

%N = 100 % - 34.06 % - 9.57 % - 30.21 %

%N = 26.16 %

Step 8: Calculate moles in compound

Let's assume 100 grams sample then we have:

Mass C = 34.06 grams

Mass H = 9.57 grams

Mass O = 30.21 grams

Mass N = 26.16 grams

Moles C= 34.06 grams / 12.01 g/mol

Moles C= 2.836 moles

Moles H = 9.57 grams / 1.01 g/mol

Moles H = 9.475 moles

Moles O = 30.21 grams / 16.0 g/mol

Moles O = 1.888 moles

Moles N = 26.16 grams / 14.0 g/mol

Moles N = 1.869 moles

Step 9: Calculate mol ratio

We have to divide by the smallest amount of moles

C: 2.836 moles / 1.869 moles = 1.5

H: 9.475 moles /1.869 moles = 5

O: 1.888 moles /1.869 moles = 1

N: 1.869 moles / 1.869 moles = 1

This means for each mol O we have 1.5 moles C, 5 moles H and 1 mol N

OR

For every 2 O atoms we have 3 C atoms, 10 H atoms and 2 N atoms

The empirical formula is C3H10N2O2

How many atoms are centered on the (100) plane for the fcc crystal structure?
Setler [38]

Here, we have to get the number of atoms present in the 100 plane of the FCC crystal lattice.

There will be 2 atoms in 100 plane of FCC crystal lattice.

In the face centered crystal (FCC) lattice there are atoms at each corner of the cube and each are shared by 4 another atoms. And an atom is present at the face of the crystal.

For the 100 plane of the Miller indices the intercepts are a, ∞, ∞ or 2a, ∞, ∞.

Thus, for the 4 atoms of the corner at the cube shared by 4 other atoms will contribute, 4 × \frac{1}{4} = 1 and the un-shared atoms at the face will contribute another 1, which make the total atom 1 + 1 = 2.

What volume of oxygen gas is released at STP if 10.0 g of potassium chlorate is decomposed? (The molar mass of KClO3 is 122.55 g
ArbitrLikvidat [17]
<span>KCl<span>O3</span><span>(s)</span>+Δ→KCl<span>(s)</span>+<span>32</span><span>O2</span><span>(g)</span></span>

Approx. <span>3L</span> of dioxygen gas will be evolved.

Explanation:

We assume that the reaction as written proceeds quantitatively.

Moles of <span>KCl<span>O3</span><span>(s)</span></span> = <span><span>10.0⋅g</span><span>122.55⋅g⋅mo<span>l<span>−1</span></span></span></span> = <span>0.0816⋅mol</span>

And thus <span><span>32</span>×0.0816⋅mol</span> dioxygen are produced, i.e. <span>0.122⋅mol</span>.

At STP, an Ideal Gas occupies a volume of <span>22.4⋅L⋅mo<span>l<span>−1</span></span></span>.

And thus, volume of gas produced = <span>22.4⋅L⋅mo<span>l<span>−1</span></span>×0.0816⋅mol≅3L</span>

Note that this reaction would not work well without catalysis, typically <span>Mn<span>O2</span></span>.

Base your answer on the information below. in liquid water, an equilibrium exists between h2o() molecules, h+(aq) ions, and oh–(
kicyunya [14]

Answer:

OH^-

Explanation:

Any substance that is able to neutralize acidity in the stomach is generally known as an antacid. There are various kinds of antacids that are in common use. It should be noted that the stomach is usually slightly acidic.

Milk of magnesia is the substance magnesium hydroxide with chemical formula Mg(OH)2. A solution of milk of magnesia contains Mg^2+ and OH^-.

Hence the negative ion contained in milk of magnesia is the hydroxide ion  OH^-.

The following five beakers, each containing a solution of sodium chloride (NaCl, also known as table salt), were found on a lab
mixas84 [53]

Answer:

See the answers below

Explanation:

1)  100. mL of solution containing 19.5 g of NaCl  (3.3M)

2)  100. mL of 3.00 M NaCl solution (3 M)

3) 150. mL of solution containing 19.5 g of NaCl  (2.2 M)

4)  Number 1 and 5 have the same concentration (1.5M)

MW of NaCl = 23 + 36 = 59 g

For number 3

          59 g ------------------- 1 mol

           19,5 g -----------------   x

  x = 19.5 x 1/59 = 0.33 mol

Molarity (M) = 0.33 mol/0.150 l = 2.2 M

For number 4,

Molarity (M) = 0.33mol/0.10 l = 3.3 M

For number 5

Molarity (M) = 0.450/0.3 = 1.5 M
