A 0.580 g sample of a compound containing only carbon and hydrogen contains 0.480 g of carbon and 0.100 g of hydrogen. At STP, 3

Answer:

Molecular formula for the gas is: C₄H₁₀

Explanation:

Let's propose the Ideal Gases Law to determine the moles of gas, that contains 0.087 g

At STP → 1 atm and 273.15K

1 atm . 0.0336 L = n . 0.082 . 273.15 K

n = (1 atm . 0.0336 L) / (0.082 . 273.15 K)

n = 1.500 × 10⁻³ moles

Molar mass of gas = 0.087 g / 1.500 × 10⁻³ moles = 58 g/m

Now we propose rules of three:

If 0.580 g of gas has ____ 0.480 g of C _____ 0.100 g of C

58 g of gas (1mol) would have:

(58 g . 0.480) / 0.580 = 48 g of C  

(58 g . 0.100) / 0.580 = 10 g of H

 48 g of C / 12 g/mol = 4 mol

 10 g of H / 1g/mol = 10 moles
