Cacodyl, which has an intolerable garlicky odor and is used in the manufacture of cacodylic acid, a cotton herbicide, has a mass

percentage composition of 22.88% C, 5.76% H, and 71.36% As and a molar mass of 209.96 g/mol. What is the molecular formula of cacodyl?

Answer:

The molecular formula of cacodyl is C₄H₁₂As₂.

Explanation:

<u>Let's assume we have 1 mol of cacodyl</u>, in that case we'd have 209.96 g of cacodyl and the<u> following masses of its components</u>:

  • 209.96 g * 22.88/100 = 48.04 g C
  • 209.96 g * 5.76/100 = 12.09 g H
  • 209.96 g * 71.36/100 = 149.83 g As

Now we convert those masses into moles:

  • 48.04 g C ÷ 12 g/mol = 4.00 mol C
  • 12.09 g H ÷ 1 g/mol = 12.09 mol H
  • 149.83 g As ÷ 74.92 g/mol = 2.00 mol As

Those amounts of moles represent the amount of each component in 1 mol of cacodyl, thus, the molecular formula of cacodyl is C₄H₁₂As₂.

If you have 6 moles of CH4 how many moles of H2O can be produced
nadya68 [22]

Answer:

Explanation:

CH4 + 2O2 --> CO2 + 2H2O

1mol generates 2 moles of H2O

Therefore 6 Moles produce 12 moles of H2O

What is the mass in grams of KBr in 0.400 L of a 0.350 M solution???
melamori03 [73]

Answer:

The answer to your question is: 16.7 g of KBr

Explanation:

Data

mass KBr = ? g

Volume = 0.400 L

Concentration = 0.350 M

Formula

Molarity = moles / volume

moles = molarity x volume

Process

moles = (0.350)(0.400)

          = 0.14

MW KBr = 39 + 80 = 119 g

                                  119 g of KBr --------------------  1 mol

                                   x                 --------------------   0.14 mol

                                   x = (0.14 x 119) / 1

                                   x = 16.7 g of KBr

n the formation of chloromethane and hydrogen chloride. The overall reaction is 2CH4(g)+3Cl2(g)⟶2CH3Cl(g)+2HCl(g)+2Cl−(g) 2CH4(g
IrinaVladis [17]

Answer:

The total pressure in the flask is 0,619 atm.

Explanation:

For the reaction:

2CH₄(g) + 3Cl₂(g) ⟶ 2 CH₃Cl(g) + 2HCl(g) + 2Cl⁻(g)

The moles of CH₄ in 295 mL at STP are:

n = PV/RT

Where P is pressure (1 atm), V is volume (0,295L), R is gas constant (0,082atmL/molK) and T is temperature (273,15 K)

Replacing, moles of CH₄ are <em>0,0132 moles</em>

In the same way, moles of chlorine are <em>0,0324 moles</em>

As 3 moles of Cl₂ react with 2 moles of CH₄, for a total reaction of 0,0132 moles of CH₄ you need:

0,0132 moles CH₄ × \frac{3 moles Cl_{2}}{2 moles CH_{4}} = <em>0,0198 moles Cl₂. </em>That means that 0,0324-0,0198 = <em>0,0126 moles of Cl₂ are in excess.</em>

As the reaction reaches in 77%, the moles of CH₄ that don't react are:

0,0132×(100%-77%)= <em>3,036x10⁻³ moles of CH₄</em>

Also, the moles of Cl₂ that don't react are:

0,0126 + 0,0198×(100%-77%)= <em>0,0172 moles of Cl₂</em>

The moles produced of each compound are:

0,0132×77% × \frac{2 moles CH_{3}Cl}{2 moles CH_{4}} = <em>0,0102 moles of CH₃Cl -</em><em>that are the same moles of HCl and Cl⁻</em><em>-</em>

Thus, total moles in the flask are:

<em>3,036x10⁻³ moles of CH₄ + 0,0172 moles of Cl₂ + 0,0102 moles of CH₃Cl + 0,0102 moles of HCl + 0,0102 moles of  Cl⁻ = </em><em>0,0507 total moles</em>

As the volume of the flask is 2,00L and the final temperature is 298 K. The total pressure in the flask is:

P = nRT/V

<em>P = 0,619 atm</em>

<em> </em>

I hope it helps!
