Answer:

762.55 g.

Explanation:

For the balanced reaction:

It is clear that <em>3 mol of Cu</em> reacts with 8 mol of HNO₃ to produce 3 mol of Cu(NO₃)₂, 2 mol of NO, and <em>4 mol of H₂O.</em>

We need to calculate the no. of moles of copper consumed when 16.0 moles of water are produced:

<u><em>Using cross multiplication:</em></u>

3 mol of Cu produce → 4 mol of H₂O, from stichiometry.

??? mol of Cu produce → 16 mol of H₂O.

∴ no. of moles of Cu needed = (3 mol)(16 mol)/(4 mol) = 12 mol.

Now, we can get the mass of Cu needed:

<em>∴ mass of Cu = (no. of moles)(atomic mass of Cu)</em> = (12 mol)(63.546 g/mol) = <em>762.55 g.</em>

Answer:

<h3>The answer is 8.29 %</h3>

Explanation:

The percentage error of a certain measurement can be found by using the formula

$P(\%) = \frac{error}{actual \: \: number} \times 100\% \\$

From the question

actual density = 19.30g/L

error = 20.9 - 19.3 = 1.6

We have

$p(\%) = \frac{1.6}{19.3} \times 100 \\ = 8.290155440...$

We have the final answer as

Assuming the reaction is first order in sucrose, determine the mass of sucrose that is hydrolyzed when 2.75 L of a 0.130 M sucro

Advocard [28]

Answer:125.84g

Explanation:Sucrose is dissacharides an organic compound in the class of carbonhydrate with the chemical formula C11H22O11.molar concentration is given by number of moles/Volume,this implies that moles=molar concentration ×Volume=0.130M×2.75L=0.3575moles.

Furthermore,number of moles=Mass of Sucrose/molecular Mass of Sucrose.

From it's formular C11H22O11, molecular Mass is the addition of the mass number which is 12 for C,2 for H and 16 for oxygen,O.so molecular Mass of Sucrose is (12×11)+(2×22)+(16×11)=352.

So mass =moles ×molecular mass=0.3575moles×352g/moles=125.84g

A compound is composed of C, H and O. A 1.621 g sample of this compound was combusted, producing 1.902 g of water and 3.095 g of

vlada-n [284]

Answer: The molecular of the compound is, $C_2H_3O$

Explanation:

The chemical equation for the combustion of hydrocarbon having carbon, hydrogen and oxygen follows:

$C_xH_yO_z+O_2\rightarrow CO_2+H_2O$

where, 'x', 'y' and 'z' are the subscripts of Carbon, hydrogen and oxygen respectively.

We are given:

Mass of $CO_2=3.095g$

Mass of $H_2O=1.902g$

We know that:

Molar mass of carbon dioxide = 44 g/mol

Molar mass of water = 18 g/mol

For calculating the mass of carbon:

In 44 g of carbon dioxide, 12 g of carbon is contained.

So, in $3.095g$ of carbon dioxide, $\frac{12}{44}\times 3.095=0.844g$ of carbon will be contained.

For calculating the mass of hydrogen:

In 18 g of water, 2 g of hydrogen is contained.

So, in $1.902g$ of water, $\frac{2}{18}\times 1.092=0.121g$ of hydrogen will be contained.

For calculating the mass of oxygen:

Mass of oxygen in the compound = $(1.621)-[(0.844)+(0.121)]=0.656g$

To formulate the empirical formula, we need to follow some steps:

Step 1: Converting the given masses into moles.

Moles of Carbon = $\frac{\text{Given mass of Carbon}}{\text{Molar mass of Carbon}}=\frac{0.844g}{12g/mole}=0.0703moles$

Moles of Hydrogen = $\frac{\text{Given mass of Hydrogen}}{\text{Molar mass of Hydrogen}}=\frac{0.121g}{1g/mole}=0.121moles$

Moles of Oxygen = $\frac{\text{Given mass of oxygen}}{\text{Molar mass of oxygen}}=\frac{0.656g}{16g/mole}=0.041moles$

Step 2: Calculating the mole ratio of the given elements.

For the mole ratio, we divide each value of the moles by the smallest number of moles calculated which is $0.041$ moles.

For Carbon = $\frac{0.0703}{0.041}=1.71\approx 2$

For Hydrogen = $\frac{0.121}{0.041}=2.95\approx 3$

For Oxygen = $\frac{0.041}{0.041}=1$

Step 3: Taking the mole ratio as their subscripts.

The ratio of C : H : O = 2 : 3 : 1

Hence, the empirical formula for the given compound is $C_2H_3O_1=C_2H_3O$

The empirical formula weight = 2(12) + 3(1) + 1(16) = 43 gram/eq

Now we have to calculate the molecular formula of the compound.

Formula used :

$n=\frac{\text{Molecular formula}}{\text{Empirical formula weight}}$

$n=\frac{46.06}{43}=1$

Molecular formula = $(C_2H_3O_1)_n=(C_2H_3O_1)_1=C_2H_3O$

Therefore, the molecular of the compound is, $C_2H_3O$
