compound consists of carbon, hydrogen and fluorine. In one experiment, combustion of 2.50 g of the compound produced 3.926 g of
arlik [135]

<u>Answer:</u> The empirical and molecular formula of the compound is CH_2F and C_{14}H_{28}F_{14}  respectively

<u>Explanation:</u>

We are given:

Mass of CO_2=3.926g

<u>For calculating the mass of carbon:</u>

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

So, in 3.926 g of carbon dioxide, \frac{12}{44}\times 3.926=1.071g of carbon will be contained.

To calculate the percentage composition of element in sample, we use the equation:

\%\text{ composition of element}=\frac{\text{Mass of element}}{\text{Mass of sample}}\times 100      ......(1)

  • <u>For Carbon:</u>

Mass of carbon = 1.071 g

Mass of sample = 2.50 g

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

\%\text{ composition of carbon}=\frac{1.071g}{2.50g}\times 100=42.84\%

  • <u>For Fluorine:</u>

Mass of fluorine = 2.54 g

Mass of sample = 5.00 g

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

\%\text{ composition of fluorine}=\frac{2.54g}{5.00g}\times 100=50.8\%

Percent composition of hydrogen = [100 - 42.84 - 50.8] % = 6.36 %

We are given:

Percentage of C = 42.84 %

Percentage of F = 50.8 %

Percentage of H = 6.36 %

Let the mass of compound be 100 g. So, percentages given are taken as mass.

Mass of C = 42.84 g

Mass of F = 50.8 g

Mass of H = 6.36 g

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

  • <u>Step 1:</u> Converting the given masses into moles.

Moles of Carbon =\frac{\text{Given mass of Carbon}}{\text{Molar mass of Carbon}}=\frac{42.84g}{12g/mole}=3.57moles

Moles of Hydrogen = \frac{\text{Given mass of Hydrogen}}{\text{Molar mass of Hydrogen}}=\frac{6.36g}{1g/mole}=6.36moles

Moles of Fluorine = \frac{\text{Given mass of Fluorine}}{\text{Molar mass of Fluorine}}=\frac{50.8g}{19g/mole}=2.67moles

  • <u>Step 2:</u> 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 2.67 moles.

For Carbon = \frac{0.072}{2.67}=1.34\approx 1

For Hydrogen = \frac{6.36}{2.67}=2.38\approx 2

For Fluorine = \frac{2.67}{2.67}=1

  • <u>Step 3:</u> Taking the mole ratio as their subscripts.

The ratio of C : H : F = 1 : 2 : 1

The empirical formula for the given compound is CH_2F

For determining the molecular formula, we need to determine the valency which is multiplied by each element to get the molecular formula.

The equation used to calculate the valency is:

n=\frac{\text{Molecular mass}}{\text{Empirical mass}}

We are given:

Mass of molecular formula = 448.4 g/mol

Mass of empirical formula = 12+(2\times 1)+19]=33g/mol

Putting values in above equation, we get:

n=\frac{448.4g/mol}{33g/mol}=13.6\approx 14

Multiplying this valency by the subscript of every element of empirical formula, we get:

C_{(14\times 1)}H_{(14\times 2)}F_{(14\times 1)}=C_{14}H_{28}F_{14}

Hence, the empirical and molecular formula of the compound is CH_2F and C_{14}H_{28}F_{14}  respectively

Consider the chemical equation. CuCl2 + 2NaNO3 Cu(NO3)2 + 2NaCl What is the percent yield of NaCl if 31.0 g of CuCl2 reacts with
Finger [1]

Answer:

The percent yield of NaCl is 78.7 %

Explanation:

CuCl₂  +  2NaNO₃ →  Cu(NO₃)₂  + 2NaCl

If the NaNO₃ is determined to be in excess, the limiting reagent is the chloride. We convert the mass to moles:

31 g . 1mol / 134.45g = 0.230 moles

Ratio is 1:2, so we can make a rule of three to determine the theoretical yield

1 mol of copper (II) chloride reacts to produce 2 moles of sodium chloride

Then, 0.230 moles of CuCl₂ will react to produce (0.230 .2) /1 ) = 0.461 moles of NaCl → we convert the moles to mass → 0.461 mol . 58.45 g / 1mol = 26.9 g

To find percent yield we do → (Yield produced / Theoretical yield) . 100

(21.2 g / 26.9 g) . 100 = 78.7 %

tatiyna
The answer is D, the attractive force between them decreases.

Although the volume that the particles take up generally increases when going from solid to liquid, particles themselves never change their size. It’s the attractive force that decreases and doesn’t pull the particles together as tightly when a solid changes to liquid.
