Answer:
1) 0.009 61 g C; 2) 0.008 00 mol C
Step-by-step explanation:
You know that you will need a balanced equation with masses, moles, and molar masses, so gather all the information in one place.
M_r: 12.01 44.01
C + ½O₂ ⟶ CO₂
m/g: 0.352
1) <em>Mass of C
</em>
Convert grams of CO₂ to grams of C
44.01 g CO₂ = 12.01 g C
Mass of C = 0.352 g CO₂ × 12.01 g C/44.01 g CO₂
Mass of C = 0.009 61 g C
2) <em>Moles of C
</em>
Convert mass of C to moles of C.
1 mol C = 12.01 g C
Moles of C = 0.00961 g C × (1 mol C/12.01 g C)
Moles of C = 0.008 00 mol C
All the carbon comes from Compound A, so there are 0.008 00 mol C in Compound A.
Answer:
The calculated density will be larger
Explanation:
The calculated density will be <u>larger</u>. Because, the volume is taken accurately, by the water displacement method. But, when we the took the mass, the water was present on the unknown solid. So, the mass of that water was added to the original mass of the solid. Hence, the mass measured was larger than the original mass. We, know from the formula of density that density is directly proportional to the mass of the object.
Density = Mass/Volume
Hence, the larger measured mass means the larger value of density.
