What is the molecular formula of a compound with the empirical formula

Chemistry
1 answer:
ipn [44]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:  C_2H_2O_2

Explanation:

Molecular formula is the chemical formula which depicts the actual number of atoms of each element present in the compound.  

Empirical formula is the simplest chemical formula which depicts the whole number of atoms of each element present in the compound.

The empirical formula is CHO

The empirical weight of CHO = 1(12)+1(1)+1(16)= 29 g.

The molecular weight = 60 g/mole

Now we have to calculate the molecular formula:

n=\frac{\text{Molecular weight}}{\text{Equivalent weight}}=\frac{60}{29}=2

The molecular formula will be=2\times CHO=C_2H_2O_2

Thus molecular formula will be C_2H_2O_2

The heats of combustion of ethane (C2H6) and butane (C4H10) are 52 kJ/g and 49 kJ/g, respectively. We need to produce 1.000 x 10
LekaFEV [45]

Answer :

(1) The number of grams needed of each fuel (C_2H_6)\text{ and }(C_4H_{10}) are 19.23 g and 20.41 g respectively.

(2) The number of moles of each fuel (C_2H_6)\text{ and }(C_4H_{10}) are 0.641 moles and 0.352 moles respectively.

(3) The balanced chemical equation for the combustion of the fuels.

C_2H_6+\frac{7}{2}O_2\rightarrow 2CO_2+3H_2O

C_4H_{10}+\frac{13}{2}O_2\rightarrow 4CO_2+5H_2O

(4) The number of moles of CO_2 produced by burning each fuel is 1.28 mole and 1.41 mole respectively.

The fuel that emitting least amount of CO_2 is C_2H_6

Explanation :

<u>Part 1 :</u>

First we have to calculate the number of grams needed of each fuel (C_2H_6)\text{ and }(C_4H_{10}).

As, 52 kJ energy required amount of C_2H_6 = 1 g

So, 1000 kJ energy required amount of C_2H_6 = \frac{1000}{52}=19.23g

and,

As, 49 kJ energy required amount of C_4H_{10} = 1 g

So, 1000 kJ energy required amount of C_4H_{10} = \frac{1000}{49}=20.41g

<u>Part 2 :</u>

Now we have to calculate the number of moles of each fuel (C_2H_6)\text{ and }(C_4H_{10}).

Molar mass of C_2H_6 = 30 g/mole

Molar mass of C_4H_{10} = 58 g/mole

\text{ Moles of }C_2H_6=\frac{\text{ Mass of }C_2H_6}{\text{ Molar mass of }C_2H_6}=\frac{19.23g}{30g/mole}=0.641moles

and,

\text{ Moles of }C_4H_{10}=\frac{\text{ Mass of }C_4H_{10}}{\text{ Molar mass of }C_4H_{10}}=\frac{20.41g}{58g/mole}=0.352moles

<u>Part 3 :</u>

Now we have to write down the balanced chemical equation for the combustion of the fuels.

The balanced chemical reaction for combustion of C_2H_6 is:

C_2H_6+\frac{7}{2}O_2\rightarrow 2CO_2+3H_2O

and,

The balanced chemical reaction for combustion of C_4H_{10} is:

C_4H_{10}+\frac{13}{2}O_2\rightarrow 4CO_2+5H_2O

<u>Part 4 :</u>

Now we have to calculate the number of moles of CO_2 produced by burning each fuel to produce 1000 kJ.

C_2H_6+\frac{7}{2}O_2\rightarrow 2CO_2+3H_2O

From this we conclude that,

As, 1 mole of C_2H_6 react to produce 2 moles of CO_2

As, 0.641 mole of C_2H_6 react to produce 0.641\times 2=1.28 moles of CO_2

and,

C_4H_{10}+\frac{13}{2}O_2\rightarrow 4CO_2+5H_2O

From this we conclude that,

As, 1 mole of C_4H_{10} react to produce 4 moles of CO_2

As, 0.352 mole of C_4H_{10} react to produce 0.352\times 4=1.41 moles of CO_2

So, the fuel that emitting least amount of CO_2 is C_2H_6
