300 grams of a compound which contains only carbon, hydrogen and oxygen is analyzed and found to contain the exact same percenta

ge of carbon as it has oxygen. The percentage of hydrogen is known to be 5.98823%. Find the empirical formula of the compound

The empirical formula of the compound is C₄H₅O₃.

<u>Explanation</u>:

If hydrogen % = 5.98823, the Sum of C+O = 94.01177% or 47.005885% each

The original mass of 300 g is not important

C = 47.005885 / 12.011 = 3.913569

H = 5.98823 / 1.008 = 5.94070  

O = 47.005885 / 15.999 = 2.93805  

Divide by the smallest number:      

C =1.33  

H = 2.022

O = 1

Multiply through by 3

C = 4

H =6

O = 3

The empirical formula of a compound = C₄H₆O₃

Do not be confused by the 300 g. It is totally irrelevant to the question because you are dealing with % amounts. It would only have been of importance if you were given some mass values.

1.33 dm3 of water at 70°C are saturated by 2.25
astraxan [27]

Given that 4.50 dm³ of Pb(NO₃)₂ is cooled from 70 °C to 18 °C, the

amount amount of solute that will be deposited is 1,927.413 grams.

<h3>How can the amount of solute deposited be found?</h3>

The volume of water 1.33 dm³ of water 70 °C.

The number of moles of Pb(NO₃)₂ that saturates 1.33 dm³ of water at 70 °C  = 2.25 moles

At 18 °C, the number of moles of Pb(NO₃)₂ that saturates 1.33 dm³ of water = 0.53 moles

Therefore;

Number of moles of Pb(NO₃)₂ in 4.50 dm³ at 70 °C is therefore;

1.33 dm³ contains 2.25 moles.

Number \ of \ moles \ in \ 4.50 \ dm^3 = \dfrac{2.25}{1.33} \times 4.50 \approx \mathbf{7.613 \, moles}

Number of moles of Pb(NO₃)₂ in 4.50 dm³ at 70 °C ≈ 7.613 moles

Number of moles of Pb(NO₃)₂ in 4.50 dm³ at 18 °C is therefore;

1.33 dm³ contains 0.53 moles

Number \ of \ moles \ in \ 4.50 \ dm^3 = \dfrac{0.53}{1.33} \times 4.50 \approx \mathbf{1.79 \, moles}

Number of moles of Pb(NO₃)₂ in 4.50 dm³ at 18 °C ≈ 1.79 moles

The number of moles that precipitate out = The amount of solute deposited

Which gives;

Amount of solute deposited = 7.613 moles - 1.79 moles = 5.823 moles

The molar mass of Pb(NO₃)₂ = 207 g + 2 × (14 g + 3 × 16 g) = 331 g

The molar mass of Pb(NO₃)₂ = 331 g/mol

The amount of solute deposited = Number of moles × Molar mass

Which gives;

The amount of solute deposited = 5.823 moles × 331 g/mol =<u> 1,927.413 g </u>

Zn + I2 ---&gt; Znl2<br> Determine the theoretical yield of the product if 2g of Zn is used
egoroff_w [7]

Answer:

Mass = 9.58 g

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of Zn = 2g

Theoretical yield of ZnI₂ = ?

Solution:

Chemical equation:

Zn + I₂       →     ZnI₂

Number of moles of Zn:

Number of moles = mass/molar mass

Number of moles = 2g / 65.38 g/mol

Number of moles = 0.03 mol

Now we will compare the moles of Zn and ZnI₂.

                   Zn           :          ZnI₂

                    1             :           1

                  0.03        :         0.03

Mass of ZnI₂:

Mass = number of moles × molar mass

Mass = 0.03 mol × 319.22 g/mol

Mass = 9.58 g

How many carbon atoms are there in 45g of carbon?
nevsk [136]

Answer: 2.26x 10²⁴ atoms C

Explanation: To get the number of atoms,

First we convert mass of C to moles

45g C x 1mole C / 12 g C

= 3.75 moles C

Cancel g of C

Next convert moles of C to atoms using Avogadro's Number.

3.75 moles C x 6.022x10²³ atoms C / 1 mole C

Cancel out the units of moles C.

= 2.26x 10²⁴ atoms of C
