Answer:
Insoluble in water:
Explanation:
Water turns out to be a good solvent for ionic substances, or in general, polarized covalent substances. On the other hand, it is not a good solvent for non-polar substances, these being the vast majority of covalent substances.
The percent composition of this compound :
Mg = 72.182%
N = 27.818%
<h3>Further explanation</h3>
Given
9.03 g Mg
3.48 g N
Required
The percent composition
Solution
Proust stated the Comparative Law that compounds are formed from elements with the same Mass Comparison so that the compound has a fixed composition of elements
Total mass of the compound :
= 9.03 g + 3.48 g
= 12.51 g
The percent composition :
Mg : 9.03/ 12.51 g x 100% = 72.182%
N : 3.48 / 12.51 g x 100% = 27.818%
<h3>
Answer:</h3>
C₅H₁₂O(l)+15/2O₂(g)→5CO₂(g)+6H₂O(l)
<h3>
Explanation:</h3>
The balanced chemical equation for the combustion of the hydrocarbon in question is;
C₅H₁₂O(l)+15/2O₂(g)→5CO₂(g)+6H₂O(l)
- A balanced chemical equation is one in which the number of atoms of each element is equal on both sides of the equation.
- Reactant side has; 5 carbon atoms, 12 hydrogen atoms and 16 Oxygen atoms
- Product side has; 5 carbon atoms, 12 hydrogen atoms and 16 Oxygen atoms
- An equation is balanced by putting appropriate coefficients on reactants and products involved in the reaction.
- An equation is balanced so as to obey the law of conservation of mass.
Answer:
Empirical formula is CH₄
Molecular formula = C₂H₈
Explanation:
Mass of carbon = 37.5 g
Mass of hydrogen = 12.5 g
Molecular weight = 32 g/mol
Molecular formula = ?
Empirical formula = ?
Solution:
Number of gram atoms of C = 37.5 g /12g/mol = 3.125
Number of gram atoms of H = 12.5 g / 1.008 g/mol= 12.4
Atomic ratio:
C : H
3.125/3.125 : 12.4 /3.125
1 : 4
C : H : = 1 : 4
Empirical formula is CH₄
Molecular formula:
Molecular formula = n (empirical formula)
n = molar mass of compound / empirical formula mass
n = 32 / 16
n = 2
Molecular formula = n (empirical formula)
Molecular formula = 2 ( CH₄)
Molecular formula = C₂H₈
