Explanation:

First, calculate the moles of CO_{2} using ideal gas equation as follows.

                PV = nRT

or,          n = \frac{PV}{RT}

                = \frac{1 atm \times 4.41 ml}{0.0821 Latm/mol K \times 293 K}      (as 1 bar = 1 atm (approx))

                = 0.183 mol

As,   Density = \frac{mass}{volume}

Hence, mass of water will be as follows.

                Density = \frac{mass}{volume}

             0.998 g/ml = \frac{mass}{3.26 ml}    

                 mass = 3.25 g

Similarly, calculate the moles of water as follows.

        No. of moles = \frac{mass}{\text{molar mass}}

                              =  \frac{3.25 g}{18.02 g/mol}            

                              = 0.180 mol

Moles of hydrogen = 0.180 \times 2 = 0.36 mol

Now, mass of carbon will be as follows.

       No. of moles = \frac{mass}{\text{molar mass}}

          0.183 mol =  \frac{mass}{12 g/mol}            

                              = 2.19 g

Therefore, mass of oxygen will be as follows.

              Mass of O = mass of sample - (mass of C + mass of H)

                                = 3.50 g - (2.19 g + 0.36 g)

                                = 0.95 g

Therefore, moles of oxygen will be as follows.

          No. of moles = \frac{mass}{\text{molar mass}}

                               =  \frac{0.95 g}{16 g/mol}            

                              = 0.059 mol

Now, diving number of moles of each element of the compound by smallest no. of moles as follows.

                         C              H           O

No. of moles:  0.183        0.36       0.059

On dividing:      3.1           6.1            1

Therefore, empirical formula of the given compound is C_{3}H_{6}O.

Thus, we can conclude that empirical formula of the given compound is C_{3}H_{6}O.

2. Consider the reaction 2 Cg H18 (4) +250â (9) ⺠16 co, (g) + 18 HâO(g) la How many moles of H20co) are produced, when |--16:1
Sladkaya [172]

Answer :

(a) The moles of water produced are 145.35 moles.

(b) The mass of oxygen needed are 3080.8 grams.

<u>Solution for part (a) : Given,</u>

Moles of C_8H_{18} = 16.15 moles

First we have to calculate the moles of H_2O

The balanced chemical reaction is,

2C_8H_{18}+25O_2\rightarrow 16CO_2+18H_2O

From the balanced reaction we conclude that

As, 2 moles of C_8H_{18} react to give 18 moles of H_2O

So, 16.15 moles of C_8H_{18} react to give \frac{16.15}{2}\times 18=145.35 moles of H_2O

The moles of water produced are 145.35 moles.

<u>Solution for part (b) : Given,</u>

Mass of C_8H_{18} = 878 g

Molar mass of C_8H_{18} = 114 g/mole

Molar mass of O_2 = 32 g/mole

First we have to calculate the moles of C_8H_{18}.

\text{ Moles of }C_8H_{18}=\frac{\text{ Mass of }C_8H_{18}}{\text{ Molar mass of }C_8H_{18}}=\frac{878g}{114g/mole}=7.702moles

Now we have to calculate the moles of O_2

The balanced chemical reaction is,

2C_8H_{18}+25O_2\rightarrow 16CO_2+18H_2O

From the balanced reaction we conclude that

As, 2 moles of C_8H_{18} react with 25 moles of O_2

So, 7.702 moles of C_8H_{18} react with \frac{7.702}{2}\times 25=96.275 moles of O_2

Now we have to calculate the mass of O_2.

\text{ Mass of }O_2=\text{ Moles of }O_2\times \text{ Molar mass of }O_2

\text{ Mass of }O_2=(96.275moles)\times (32g/mole)=3080.8g

The mass of oxygen needed are 3080.8 grams.

How many molecules (not moles of nh3 are produced from 5.01×10?4 g of h2?
Irina-Kira [14]
2,02g     -------    6,02×10²³
5,01×10⁴g  ---    x

x=\frac{5,01*10^{4}g*6,02*10^{23}}{2,02g}=14,93*10^{27}

N₂         +        3H₂       ⇒           2NH₃
1mol      :        3mol        :           2mol
                       18,06×10²³  :       12,04×10²³
                       14,93×10²⁷  :        y

y=\frac{14,93*10^{27}*12,04*10^{23}}{18,06*10^{23}}\approx9,95*10^{27}
